and when you said to he whom allah had favored and yourself have favored keep your wife and fear allah and you sought to hide in yourself what allah was to reveal fearing people although allah has a better right for you to fear him. and when zayd had accomplished what he would of her we gave her to you in marriage so that there is no fault in believers concerning the former spouse of their foster children if they divorced them. the decree of allah must be done.
وإذ تقول للذي أنعم الله عليه وأنعمت عليه أمسك عليك زوجك واتق الله وتخفي في نفسك ما الله مبديه وتخشى الناس والله أحق أن تخشاه فلما قضى زيد منها وطرا زوجناكها لكي لا يكون على المؤمنين حرج في أزواج أدعيائهم إذا قضوا منهن وطرا وكان أمر الله مفعولا
