And (remember) when you said to him (Zaid bin Hârithah radhiallahu'anhu
the freedslave of the Prophet SAW) on whom Allâh has bestowed
Grace (by guiding him to Islâm) and you (O Muhammad SAW too)
have done favour (by manumitting him) "Keep your wife to yourself,
and fear Allâh." But you did hide in yourself (i.e. what Allâh has
already made known to you that He will give her to you in marriage) that
which Allâh will make manifest, you did fear the people (i.e., Muhammad SAW
married the divorced wife of his manumitted slave) whereas Allâh had a
better right that you should fear Him. So when Zaid had accomplished his
desire from her (i.e. divorced her), We gave her to you in marriage, so
that (in future) there may be no difficulty to the believers in respect of
(the marriage of) the wives of their adopted sons when the latter have no
desire to keep them (i.e. they have divorced them). And Allâh's Command
must be fulfilled. (33:37)
There is no blame on the Prophet (SAW) in that which Allâh has
made legal for him. That has been Allâh's Way with those who have passed
away of (the Prophets of) old. And the Command of Allâh is a decree
determined. (33:38)
Those who convey the Message of Allâh and fear Him, and fear none save
Allâh. And Sufficient is Allâh as a Reckoner. (33:39)
