Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) sought our permission when he had a (turn to spend) a day with (one of his wives) amongst us (whereas he wanted to visit his other wives too). It was after this that this verse was revealed: Thou mayest put off whom thou pleasest of them, and take for thee whom thou pleasest (xxxiii. 5). Mu'adha said to her: What did you say to Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) when he sought your permission? She said: I used to say: If it had the option in this I would not have (allowed anyone) to have precedence over me.
