behold! thou didst say to one who had received the grace of allah and thy favour retain thou thy wife and fear allah. but thou didst hide in thy heart that which allah was about to make manifest thou didst fear the people but it is more fitting that thou shouldst fear allah. then when zaid had dissolved with her with the necessary we joined her in marriage to thee in order that there may be no difficulty to the believers in marriage with the wives of their adopted sons when the latter have dissolved with the necessary with them. and allahs command 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
