from al-A'mash, from Abu Sufyan, from Jabir regarding this verse: "And do not force your slave girls to prostitution if they desire chastity," he said: It was revealed concerning a slave girl of 'Abd Allah ibn Ubayy ibn Salul named Musaykah. He used to force her into immorality, and she was of no fault [in that] and would refuse, so Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, revealed: "And whoever forces them, then indeed, Allah, after their being forced, is Forgiving and Merciful to them."

He said to her: "What is the matter with you? Will you not commit adultery?" She said: "No, by Allah, I will not commit adultery." So he beat her, and Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, revealed: "And do not force your slave girls to prostitution."

14524 - My father narrated to us, [saying]: Abu Salih reported, [saying]: Mu'awiyah ibn Salih narrated to me, from 'Ali ibn Abi Talhah, from Ibn 'Abbas: "And do not force your slave girls to prostitution," he says: Do not force your slave girls to adultery.

14525 - Muhammad ibn Hammad al-Tahrani narrated to me, [saying]: Hafs ibn 'Umar informed us, [saying]: al-Hakam ibn Aban reported from 'Ikrimah regarding His saying: "And do not force your slave girls to prostitution," the verse, he said: There was a slave girl of 'Abd Allah ibn Ubayy ibn Salul named Mu'adhah who used to pay a tribute. Then Allah revealed the prohibition of that. She said to her people: "If it was good, it has passed, and if it was evil, the Prophet has arrived, so I will seek forgiveness from Allah and I will not do it again, if Allah wills." Then her people imposed the tribute on her again, so Allah revealed this verse.

14526 - Hajjaj ibn Hamzah narrated to us, [saying]: Shababah reported, [saying]: Warqa' reported from Ibn Abi Najih, from Mujahid, regarding His saying: "your slave girls to prostitution," meaning: your female slaves to adultery.

He said: "Go back and commit adultery with another." She said: "By Allah, I will not return."

He was with 'Abd Allah ibn Ubayy as a captive. 'Abd Allah ibn Ubayy had a slave girl named Mu'adhah, and the captive Qurashi wanted her for himself. She was a Muslim and would resist him due to her Islam, while 'Abd Allah ibn Ubayy would force her to do that and beat her
