English translation
[440] 288 - (...) ‘Abdul-Wahhāb narrated from Dāwūd a Hadīth with this chain, similar to that of Ibn ‘Ulayyah (no. 439), but he added: “She said: ‘If Muḥammad ﷺ were to have concealed anything of that which was revealed to him, he would have concealed this Verse: And (remember) when you said to him (Zaid bin Hārīthah the freed-slave of the Prophet ﷺ) on whom Allāh has bestowed grace (by guiding him to Islam) and you (O Muḥammad too) have done favor (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 the people (i.e., their saying that Muḥammad married the divorced wife of his manumitted slave) whereas Allāh had a better right that you should fear Him.."[1]
