Commentary
If Zaid divorced Zainab, the only form of consolation for Zainab would be if the Prophet ﷺ himself would marry her. But this would ignite a crucial test for the Prophet, as the people would raise fingers on him that he married a divorcee of his adopted son. On the other side, Allāh had willed it; the pre-Islamic custom that a person was not allowed to marry the divorcee of his adopted son, it was predestined to be uprooted practically by the Messenger of Allāh.
