Removed "offering" for private meeting. The word in the verses is sadaqah, which just means voluntary charity as is clear in many other verses. Maybe was corruption in reality, but far to weak on available evidence for this page.

(→‎Permission to have relations with concubine despite promising otherwise: Added further verses implicitly threatening his wives toward the end of the surah with analogies of other good/bad wives going to heaven/hell, with academic quote provided.)

=== Give the prophet a material 'offering' before meeting with him privately ===
The idea of having to pay an alleged prophet for what are assumingly one-on-one meetings is interesting.
{{Quote|{{Quran|58|12}}|O you who have faith! When you converse privately with the Apostle, offer a charity before your private talk. That is better for you and purer. But if you cannot afford [to make the offering], then Allah is indeed all-forgiving, all-merciful.}}
This may have dismayed some followers looking at the next verse.
{{Quote|{{Quran|58|13}}|Were you dismayed by having to offer charities before your private talks? Since you did not do it, and Allah has excused you [for not be able to comply], now maintain the prayer and pay the zakat, and obey Allah and His Apostle. Allah is well aware of what you do.}}Especially considering the contradictory messages with previous verses on the messenger strictly not asking for any reward in {{Quran|25|56-58}} seemingly as a sign of truthfulness, (and {{Quran|12|104}}). Similarly the previous messenger Noah/Nūḥ is said to say a similar line in {{Quran|11|29}}, as others are said to have done in {{Quran|6|90}}, matching the principle of m''essenger uniformitarianism'' (where all messengers are said to preach the same message), a key aspect of Qur'anic theology.<ref>Durie, Mark.
