Commentary and footnotes (4)

Note 1

a woman who had some mental instability

(1) His statement: “a woman who had some mental instability”: meaning slight madness or distraction.

Note 2

he went with her

(2) His statement: “he went with her”: This indicates that seclusion with a woman in an alley is not like seclusion in a house, possibly because some companions stood at a distance, observing proper etiquette. (As stated in Al-Mirqat)

قوله

(۱) قوله: أن امرأة كان في عقلها شيء : أي من الخفة أو الجذبة. كذا في «المرقاة».

Note 1

(14) قوله: ان امرأة كانت فى عقلها شىء (ایک عورت جس کی عقل میں کچھ فتور تھا) یعنی کمی یا دیوانگی تھی (مرقات) (15) قوله: فخلا معها (پس آپ اس کے ساتھ ایک راستہ میں تشریف لے گئے) اس میں اس بات سے آگاہ کرنا ہے کہ گلیوں میں خاتون کی حاجت روائی کے لئے اس کے ساتھ اکیلے تشریف لے جانا گھر میں اس کے ساتھ اکیلے رہنے کے حکم میں نہیں، یہ بھی احتمال ہے کہ بعض صحابہ کرام حسن ادب کی خاطر آپ سے دور کھڑے رہے ہوں گے۔(مرقات)۔
