The Statement of Allāh : تعالى: "And (remember) when you said to him (Zaid bin Hārītha رضي الله عنه — the freed slave of the Prophet ﷺ) on whom Allāh has bestowed grace (by guiding him to Islam) and you (O Muhammad ﷺ too) have done favour (by manumitting him): 'Keep your wife to yourself and fear Allāh.' 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 people (i.e., Muhammad ﷺ married the divorced wife of his manumitted slave) whereas Allāh had a better right that you should fear Him..." (V.33 :37)

4787 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَلَّى بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: " أَنَّ هَذِهِ الآيَةَ: {وَتُخْفِي فِي نَفْسِكَ مَا اللَّهُ مُبْدِيهِ} [الأحزاب: 37] نَزَلَتْ فِي شَأْنِ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ وَزَيْدِ بْنِ حَارِثَةَ "
