and when thou saidst unto him on whom allah hath conferred favour and thou hast conferred favour keep thy wife to thyself and fear allah. and thou didst hide in thy mind that which allah was to bring to light and thou didst fear mankind whereas allah hath a better right that thou shouldst fear him. so when zeyd had performed that necessary formality from her we gave her unto thee in marriage so that there may be no sin for believers in respect of wives of their adopted sons when the latter have performed the necessary formality from them. the commandment of allah must be fulfilled.
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
