(Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Interview dated September 19, 2010)
O Prophet! We have made lawful for you: your wives to whom you have given dowries and any concubines you own from the booty Allah has allotted you and the daughters of your paternal uncles and i and the daughters of your maternal aunts who have immigrated with you and any Muslim woman who gives herself to the Prophet if the Prophet desires to marry her: exclusively for you as opposed to the rest of the Muslims – We know very well what We have prescribed for them regarding their wives and any concubines they possess – in order that there be no restriction on you. Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Surat as-Sajda, 50)
This is a verse that drives the hypocrites crazy. They have been criticizing our prophet (saas) because he had married his paternal aunt's daughter, and Allah makes him marry all of them. That has driven the hypocrites crazy. What really hit the hypocrites is that there were women who gave themselves to our Prophet (saas). There were a lot of women saying " I do not want anything, I just want you for the good pleasure of Allah, I give myself to you even if you do not take me I have given myself to you I would like to be with you in Heaven and Earth. They would thus be a freed concubine. Muslims can marry the daughter of their maternal aunt but they can't marry the other one. But Allah deems it lawful and just for our Prophet (saas) to marry them all. In order that there be no restriction on you: Allah tells him to "cut-off the filthy tongues of the hypocrites". The hypocrites were attacking our Prophet (saas). But when this verse was revealed, that has all stopped.
