A man was visiting a clearing of land, and he heard a voice in a cloud: Water Flam’s garden. Then that cloud moved away and emptied its water into a free area. One of those sparks had absorbed all of that water, so he followed the water. So, there was a man standing in his garden, turning the water with his wipes, and he said to him: O Abdullah, what is your name? So-and-so said to the name that was heard in the cloud. He said to him: O Abdullah, you did not ask me about my name. He said: I heard a voice in the cloud whose water is this, saying: Water Flam’s garden. For your name, what are you doing in it? He said: What do you do in it? I said this, because I look at what comes out of it, so I give a third of it in charity, and I and my children eat a third, and I return a third from it.

As for whoever says that the addressee is the spouses, he does not understand the Book of God, as we have mentioned. As for whoever says that he is the authority, then he is the truth

Wing means sin from a misdemeanor in the sense of money, and ransom means saving the soul with money given to save it and ward off harm from it. Its origin is from redemption and ransom, meaning a person protects himself from calamity by what he expends. The speech in the verse is either to the group of believers in the sense that they cooperated among themselves in such a way that they found evil between the spouses, or it is a speech to the group of husbands who had between them and their wives what is feared that both of them will not adhere to the limits God has set for married life. So the speech is to permit taking and redemption, and in my opinion we make the speech. The community of believers is more deserving of consideration, as whoever knows what is between the spouses must intervene with advice and guidance and explain God’s ruling, and therefore the speech was general to the community of believers when he said, “If you fear that they will not uphold the limits of God,” and denying the sin of taking is specific to the spouses, and therefore he said, “There is no blame on them for what she ransomed for.”
الجناح معناه الإثم من جنحة بمعنى مال والافتدى معناه تخليص النفس بمال يبذل لتخليصها ودفع الأذى عنها وأصله من الفداء والفداء بمعنى حفظ الإنسان نفسه عن النائبة بما يبذله والخطاب في الآية إما أن يكون لجماعة المؤمنين من حيث إنهم متعاون فيما بينهم بحيث وجدوا الشر بين الزوجين وإما أن يكون خطابا لجماعة الأزواج الذين كان بينهم وبين نسائهم ما يخشى معه أن لا يقيم كلاهما حدود الله التي رسمها للحياة الزوجية فالخطاب لإباحة الأخذ والفداء وعندي أن نجعل الخطاب لجماعة المؤمنين أولى بالاعتبار فإن على من يعرف ما بين الزوجين أن يتدخل بالنصح والإرشاد وبيان حكم الله ولذلك كان الخطاب عاما لجماعة المؤمنين بقوله فإن خفتم ألا يقيما حدود الله ونفي إثم الأخذ خاصا بالزوجين ولذا قال فلا جناح عليهما فيما فتدت به
The second fear in the verse is the fear of people other than the spouses, and authority means the highest leadership in society that intervenes to treat a woman’s problem if she disagrees with her husband, whether because of her husband’s injustice towards her or her disobedience.
والخوف الثاني في الآية هو خوف غير الزوجين والسلطان يعني أعلى قيادة في المجتمع تتدخل لعلاج مشكلة المرأة إذا اختلفت مع زوجها سواء بظلم الزوج لها أو بنشوزها

Oh God, swear to us that from your fear you will prevent us from disobeying you, from your obedience that which will bring us to your paradise, and from certainty that which will make the calamities of this world easy for us. O God, grant us enjoyment with our hearing, our sight, and our strength, as long as you have given us life, and make it our heir, and grant us victory over those who wronged us, and give us victory over those who are hostile to us, and do not make our misfortune in our religion, and do not make this world our greatest concern, nor the extent of our knowledge, and do not impose over us those who do not have mercy on us.
