وَإِذۡ تَقُولُ لِلَّذِيٓ أَنۡعَمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِ وَأَنۡعَمۡتَ عَلَيۡهِ أَمۡسِكۡ عَلَيۡكَ زَوۡجَكَ وَٱتَّقِ ٱللَّهَ وَتُخۡفِي فِي نَفۡسِكَ مَا ٱللَّهُ مُبۡدِيهِ وَتَخۡشَى ٱلنَّاسَ وَٱللَّهُ أَحَقُّ أَن تَخۡشَىٰهُۖ فَلَمَّا قَضَىٰ زَيۡدٞ مِّنۡهَا وَطَرٗا زَوَّجۡنَٰكَهَا لِكَيۡ لَا يَكُونَ عَلَى ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ حَرَجٞ فِيٓ أَزۡوَٰجِ أَدۡعِيَآئِهِمۡ إِذَا قَضَوۡاْ مِنۡهُنَّ وَطَرٗاۚ وَكَانَ أَمۡرُ ٱللَّهِ مَفۡعُولٗا
And [remember, O Muḥammad], when you said to the one on whom Allāh bestowed favor and you bestowed favor,1198 "Keep your wife and fear Allāh," while you concealed within yourself that which Allāh is to disclose.1199 And you feared the people,1200 while Allāh has more right that you fear Him.1201 So when Zayd had no longer any need for her, We married her to you in order that there not be upon the believers any discomfort [i.e., guilt] concerning the wives of their claimed [i.e., adopted] sons when they no longer have need of them. And ever is the command [i.e., decree] of Allāh accomplished.
Translator notes (4)
- 1198 Referring to the Prophet's freed slave, Zayd bin Ḥārithah.
- 1199 i.e., Allāh's command to the Prophet (ﷺ) to marry Zaynab after Zayd divorced her. This was to demonstrate that a man may marry a woman formerly married to his adopted son.
- 1200 i.e., feared their saying that the Prophet (ﷺ) had married the (former) wife of his son (which is prohibited by Allāh in the case of a true, begotten son).
- 1201 By making known His command.

Tafsir · 33:37
Al-Mukhtasar
And when you say, O Messenger, to whom Allah blessed with Islam, and you granted manumission (referring to Zaid bin Haritha, may Allah be pleased with him, when he came to consult about the matter of divorcing his wife Zainab bint Jahsh), you told him: Hold on to your wife and do not divorce her, and fear Allah by complying with His commands and avoiding his prohibitions. You hid within yourself, O Messenger, what Allah had revealed to you about your marriage to Zainab, fearing people's reaction when Allah reveals Zaid's divorce and your eventual marriage to her. But Allah is more worthy of fearing regarding this matter. So when Zayd's content heart lost interest in Zainab and divorced her, We married you to her. This was ordained to demonstrate that there is no sin upon the believers to marry the wives of their adopted children if they divorce them and the iddah (waiting period) finishes. Allah's command will always come to pass; nothing can stop or obstruct it.
