وقَوْله تَعَالَى: {وَلا يَضْرِبْنَ بِأَرْجُلِهِنَّ لِيُعْلَمَ مَا يُخْفِينَ مِنْ زِينَتِهِنَّ} رَوَى أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: “هُوَ الْخَلْخَالُ”، وَكَذَلِكَ قَالَ مُجَاهِدٌ: “إنَّمَا نُهِيت أَنْ تَضْرِبَ بِرِجْلَيْهَا لِيُسْمَعَ صَوْتُ الْخَلْخَالِ” وَذَلِكَ قوله: {لِيُعْلَمَ مَا يُخْفِينَ مِنْ زِينَتِهِنَّ} . قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: قَدْ عُقِلَ مِنْ مَعْنَى اللَّفْظِ النَّهْيُ عَنْ إبْدَاءِ الزِّينَةِ وَإِظْهَارِهَا لِوُرُودِ النَّصِّ فِي النَّهْيِ عَنْ إسْمَاعِ صَوْتِهَا; إذْ كَانَ إظْهَارُ الزِّينَةِ أَوْلَى بِالنَّهْيِ مِمَّا يُعْلَمُ بِهِ الزِّينَةُ، فَإِذَا لَمْ يَجُزْ بِأَخْفَى الْوَجْهَيْنِ لَمْ يَجُزْ بِأَظْهَرِهِمَا
