7420. Narrated Anas رضي الله عنه: Zaid bin Hārītha came to the Prophet ﷺ complaining about his wife. The Prophet ﷺ kept on saying (to him), "Be afraid of Allāh and keep your wife." Aīshah رضي الله عنها said, "If Allāh's Messenger ﷺ were to conceal anything (of the Qur'ān), he would have concealed this Verse." Zainab ﷺ used to boast before the wives of the Prophet ﷺ and used to say, "You were given in marriage by your families, while I was married (to the Prophet ﷺ) by Allāh from over seven heavens." And Thābit recited the Verse: "...But you did hide in yourself (i.e., what Allāh has already made known to you that He will give her to you in marriage) that which Allāh will make manifest, you did fear the people (i.e. their saying that Muhammad ﷺ married the divorced wife of his manumitted slave)... " (V.33:37) and said that this Verse was revealed in connection with Zainab and Zaid bin Ḥārītha.”

7420 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ المُقَدَّمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ: جَاءَ زَيْدُ بْنُ حَارِثَةَ يَشْكُو، فَجَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «اتَّقِ اللَّهَ، وَأَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ زَوْجَكَ»، قَالَ أَنَسٌ: لَوْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَاتِمًا شَيْئًا لَكَتَمَ هَذِهِ، قَالَ: فَكَانَتْ زَيْنَبُ تَفْخَرُ عَلَى أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَقُولُ: زَوَّجَكُنَّ أَهَالِيكُنَّ، وَزَوَّجَنِي اللَّهُ تَعَالَى مِنْ فَوْقِ سَبْعِ سَمَوَاتٍ، وَعَنْ ثَابِتٍ: {وَتُخْفِي فِي نَفْسِكَ مَا اللَّهُ مُبْدِيهِ وَتَخْشَى النَّاسَ} [الأحزاب: 37]، «نَزَلَتْ فِي شَأْنِ زَيْنَبَ وَزَيْدِ بْنِ حَارِثَةَ»
