* This verse refers to the inability of Zaynab bint Jahsh to reconcile with Zayd b. Haritha because she insisted on getting a divorce. According to another report, Zayd insisted on divorcing her. Since Zayd and Zaynab came from two different social classes, the marriage was not successful, despite the Prophet’s advice to them on several occasions to retain the marriage. In contrast, Allah had willed that Zaynab would be wedded to the Prophet (blessings and peace be upon him) after her divorce. The Prophet (blessings and peace be upon him) was worried that people would misunderstand the situation. Hence, this verse was revealed.
* See footnote of verse 16:4
* Here, the words ‘man fi al-qubur’ (those in the graves) allude to the disbelievers. It means you are not responsible for making the disbelievers accept your call. The leading exegetes have reported that the Companions and the Followers narrated the same meaning.

* Most exegetes identify the town as Antioch (an ancient city in Northern Syria).
