Check from Quran to ascertain what Quran 79:40 mentions is truly the extract from Quran and I do not alter any verses inside.
As Quran 79:40 is meant for good, Quran 4:3, 4:24; 23:26; 33:50 must be meant for good instead of bad. Quran 4:24, 23:26 33:50 must be meant for the deeper relationship between Muhammad and Muslim slaves. As muslims slave are pure, the deeper relationship between Muhammad and muslims slave cannot be considered as evil. Do you know Muslims can have four wives and so, it is not to be considered when Quran mentions Muhammad's sexual lives with muslims slaves when Muhammad might have accepted them as their legal wives.
For instance, if you write up your sexual life in your biography to let other people to know the procedure of sexual relationship with your wives in your biography and you expose to the public of every action. Your sexual life in your biography is to be considered as legal since you have married her. The same is for Muhammad too.
Do you visit some arts shops that they recommend nude drawing? You might see it is bad. However, from artistic point of view, it is acceptable since you see it as an art. The same is for Muhammad to write up Quran about his sexual life with his wives in details. You could not say it is bad if you look at the simply sexual relationship with wives and Muhammad.
