Anas narrated: "When this Āyah was revealed: 'But you did hide in yourself that which Allāh will make manifest...'[2] about Zainab bint Jahsh, Zaid had come to the Prophet ﷺ complaining, and he wanted to divorce her so, he consulted with the Prophet ﷺ.

٣٢١٢ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ الضَّبِّيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ ‌ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ ‌أَنَسٍ قَالَ: «لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ: {وَتُخْفِي فِي نَفْسِكَ مَا اللهُ مُبْدِيهِ وَتَخْشَى النَّاسَ} فِي شَأْنِ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ جَاءَ زَيْدٌ يَشْكُو، فَهَمَّ بِطَلَاقِهَا فَاسْتَأْمَرَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: أَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ زَوْجَكَ وَاتَّقِ اللهَ». هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

Commentary

The Prophet ﷺ advised Zaid that he should not take the step of divorcing his wife just for being emotional and oversensitive, be fearful of Allāh, and do not take this step just because of an ordinary misunderstanding. The Prophet ﷺ said so considering Zaid’s intention of divorce, merely based on oversensitivity and emotion; as he explained the background of his complaint, that she always expressed her superiority and the supremacy of her family status and highness over him. [Tadabbur-e-Qur’an, commentary of Sūrat Al-Ahzāb]
