when you said to him who had been favoured by god and was favoured by you keep your wife to yourself and fear god you were hiding something god was about to bring to light for you had fear of men though you should fear god more. and when zaid was through with her we gave her to you in marriage so that it may not remain a sin for the faithful the wives of their adopted sons when they are through with them. gods command is to 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
