Al-Araf

۞يَٰبَنِيٓ ءَادَمَ خُذُواْ زِينَتَكُمۡ عِندَ كُلِّ مَسۡجِدٖ وَكُلُواْ وَٱشۡرَبُواْ وَلَا تُسۡرِفُوٓاْۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلۡمُسۡرِفِينَ

31

       O children of Adam( )! Wear your (graceful) clothing at the time of visitation to a Masjid (for praying). And eat and drink (permissible food items) freely but don’t waste by extravagance. (Allah has summed up the medical knowledge in this one Verse – Ibn Kathir) Indeed, Allah does not like those who waste by extravagance.

The reason for descending the verse

On the authority of Ibn ‘Abbas,he said, “In the pre-Islamic period, women used to go round the Sacred House completely naked, except for a rag around their private parts, reciting,‘Today some or all of it will show and whatever appears of it, I do not make it lawful’. And so this verse (Look to your adornment at every place of worship…) was revealed.” (Al-Wahidi,Reasons of Revelation)
