58a.  O ye who believe! Let your slaves, and those of you who have not come to puberty, ask leave of you at three times (before they come into your presence). Before the prayer of dawn, and when ye lay aside your raiment for the heat of noon, and after the prayer of night. Three times of privacy for you.
58a.  Yaaa-ayyuhallaziina  ‘aa-manuu  liyasta’-zinkumul-laziina  malakat  ‘aymaanukum  wal-laziina  lam  yablugul-huluma  minkum  salaasa  marraat.  Min  qabli  Salaatil-Fajri  wa  hiina  taza-‘uuna  siyaabakum-minaz-zahiirati  wa  mim-  ba’-di  Salaatil-‘Ishaaa’.

Commentary

Huluma – (understanding, wisdom), here it aims: discernment of desire relating to sex, which appears after puberty).

Marraat – (again and again, repeatedly), this word is plural of marrah, which means “one time”. Here it aims “time and an occasion”. It means “there are three such times in which a man desires privacy”.

A man needs a separate house and abode for living. Generally, along with him, his wife, children, attendants and servants; in which slaves and bond-maids were included during ancient times; live altogether. In these verses, the way of living in a house is being described to its residents that it is difficult for the common people to live every time in a house mutually, but there are three such times during which; privacy is required. And a man does not like coming of any other person near him during those times – (a) before the prayer of dawn, (b) when one lays aside his raiment for the heat of noon, (c) and after the prayer of night. In these times, if bond-women, servants and slaves etc. wish to enter, they should at first take permission of the master of the house. Those children who have grown up but still they have not reached the age of puberty so far, they also are not allowed to come in fearless. If they wish to enter, they should ask leave before coming in the room.
