And when you ask of them any goods, ask of them from behind a curtain; this is purer for your hearts and (for) their hearts; and it does not behove you that you should give trouble to the Apostle of Allah, nor that you should marry his wives after him ever; surely this is grievous in the sight of Allah.
54. If you do a thing openly or do it in secret, then surely Allah is Cognizant of all things.
55. There is no blame on them in respect of their fathers,
