(4). 3308. [Abū An-Naṣr narrated from Ibn ‘Abbās, regarding the saying of Allāh, the Most High: When believing women come to you as emigrants, examine them.[1] He said: “When a woman came to the Prophet ﷺ to accept Islam, she would have to take an oath by Allāh: ‘I have not left out of anger with my husband, I have not left except out of love for Allāh and His Messenger.’”] (Da’if)
[Abū ‘Eisā said: This Ḥadīth is Gharīb].

Commentary
The Muslims were instructed in this Verse that the Muslim women, who have come to you by emigrating from the land of Kufr (disbelief), keep them not with you without judging the truth of their belief and disbelief. If their emigration is only for the sake of Islam, only the love of Allāh and His Messenger is the motive of the emigration, and they intend no other aim, then keep them with you. Therefore the Prophet ﷺ would judge the truth of their Faith and thereafter give them protection.
