Overall meaning : Allah, Sublime be He, says: Prophet, say to your wives, ‘If you desire the present life and its finery and demand maintenance that I cannot possibly afford, come, I will give you a suitable compensation for divorce and release you honourably. If, however, you desire Allah and His Messenger and the life of the hereafter, then know that Allah has prepared for the obedient ones among you a great reward.’
Wives of the Prophet, should any of you commit a flagrant indecency, she will receive double the punishment, and that is easy enough for Allah. But those of you who steadfastly continue to obey Allah and His Messenger and do good deeds will be given their reward twice over; and We have a rich provision in store for them in Paradise.
