and the Almighty and Majestic: "There is no blame upon you that you eat from your houses or the houses of your fathers," up to His saying: "or what you possess the keys of."
14876 - Abu Zur'ah narrated to us, Yahya ibn 'Abd Allah reported to us, Ibn Lahi'ah reported to us, 'Ata' narrated to me, from Sa'id ibn Jubayr regarding His saying: "or what you possess the keys of," meaning its treasuries, and it is a man's slave.
14877 - It was mentioned from Bishr ibn 'Umar, al-Husayn ibn Abi Ja'far reported to us, from Abu al-Sahba', from Sa'id ibn Jubayr, regarding "or what you possess the keys of," he said: A steward.
14878 - My father narrated to us, 'Abd al-Aziz ibn Munib reported to us, Abu Mu'adh reported to us, from 'Ubayd ibn Sulayman, from al-Dahhak, regarding His saying: "or what you possess the keys of," meaning the house of one of them, for he owns it, and the slaves among them are from what they possess. Then Allah revealed: "There is no blame upon you in eating with the sick, the blind, and the lame, and there is no blame upon you that you eat together or separately."
14879 - Muhammad ibn Yahya narrated to us, al-'Abbas ibn al-Walid informed us, Yazid ibn Zuray' reported to us, Sa'id reported to us, from Qatadah, regarding His saying: "or what you possess the keys of," from what you store, O son of Adam.
14880 - 'Abd Allah ibn Sulayman narrated to us, al-Husayn ibn 'Ali reported to us, 'Amir reported to us, Asbat reported to us, from al-Suddi, regarding His saying: "or what you possess the keys of," he said: A man who is entrusted by another man with his food, to manage it for him and safeguard it for him; so there is no harm in him eating from it.
14881 - Al-'Abbas ibn al-Walid ibn Mazyad al-Bayruti informed us by way of recitation, Muhammad ibn Shu'ayb ibn Shabur informed me, 'Uthman ibn 'Ata' informed me, from his father, regarding His saying: "or what you possess the keys of," or "your friend," or what He mentioned of relatives and friends. A wealthy man would enter upon his poor relative or friend, and he would invite him to food so he could eat from it, and he would say: "By Allah, I am hesitant." The "janh" (blame/hesitation) is to feel constrained to eat from you while I am wealthy and you are poor. So they were commanded to eat together or separately.
14882 - Abu Zur'ah narrated to us, Yahya ibn 'Abd Allah reported to us, Ibn Lahi'ah narrated to me, 'Ata' narrated to me, from Sa'id ibn Jubayr, regarding the saying of Allah: "or your friend," meaning: in the houses of your friends.
