And stay in your homes and do not display yourself as you did in the pre-Islamic era
وقرن في بيوتكن ولا تبرجن تبرج الجاهلية الأولى
Men are guardians of women because God has favored some of them over others
الرجال قوامون على النساء بما فضل الله بعضهم على بعض
It is said that it is qaamwa and qayyim, and it is effective and fa’al. The one who is qaam in meaning is responsible for it. He takes care of it and fixes it in its condition. This was said by Ibn Abbas.
يقال قوام وقيم وهو فعال وفيعل من قام المعنى هو أمين عليها يتولى أمرها ويصلحها في حالها قاله ابن عباس
God Almighty says, “Men are the guardians of women,” meaning the man is in charge of women, that is, he is her leader, her chief, the judge over her, and the one who disciplines her if she deviates, as God has favored some of them over others. That is, because men are better than women, and men are better than women. This is why prophecy was specific to men, and so was the greatest king, according to his saying, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him. “A people will not succeed even if a woman commands them.” Narrated by Al-Bukhari.
يقول تعالى الرجال قوامون على النساء أي الرجل قيم على المرأة أي هو رئيسها وكبيرها والحاكم عليها ومؤدبها إذا عوجت بما فضل الله بعضهم على بعض أي لأن الرجال أفضل من النساء والرجل خير من المرأة ولهذا كانت النبوة مختصة بالرجال وكذلك الملك الأعظم لقوله صلى الله عليه وسلم لن يفلح قوم ولو أمره ممرأة رواه البخاري
Whenever the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, was accompanied by an order, he would pray
كان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم إذا حزبه أمر صلى
If an important matter befell him or he was afflicted with distress, he prayed to make that matter easier with the blessing of prayer
أي نزل به أمر مهم أو أصابه غم صلى ليسهل ذلك الأمر ببركة الصلاة
It can be understood from this that if a man is faced with something that concerns him, it is desirable for him to pray
ويستفاد من هذا أن الرجل إذا نزل به أمر يهمه يستحب له أن يصلي
And whoever fears God, He will make a way out for him and provide for him from where he does not expect
ومن يتق الله يجعل له مخرجا ويرزقه من حيث لا يحتسب

That is, tell the story and follow up
أي قصي أثره والتبعي

قصي أي اتبع أثره واخذي خبره وتطلبي شأنه من نواح البلد
Musa’s mother said to his sister, Qusay, that is, go and tell the story about your brother and search for him without anyone noticing you or realizing your intention.
وقالت أم موسى لأخته قصي أي اذهبي فقصي الأثر عن أخيك وبحثي عنه من غير أن يحس بك أحد أو يشعر بمقصودك
God Almighty says, “He mentioned him, so Moses’ sister recounted his trail and saw him from the south.” He says, “So she saw Moses from a distance, not close to him, nor near, because he did not know that she was from him on a path.”
يقول تعالى ذكره فقصت أخت موسى أثره فبصرت به عن جنوب يقول فبصرت بموسى عن بعد لم تدن منه ولم تقرب لأن لا يعلم إنها منه بسبيل
That is, she saw him from afar, as if she was turning away from him, looking at him as if she did not want him, and they did not feel that she was his sister, who had come to know about him
أي رأته من بعيد كالمعرضة عنه تنظر إليه وكأنها لا تريده وهم لا يشعرون بأنها أخته جاءت لتعرف خبره
