عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ كَانَتْ زَيْنَبُ بِنْتُ جَحْشٍ تَفْخَرُ عَلَى نِسَاءِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَقُولُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَنْكَحَنِي مِنَ السَّمَاءِ
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that Umm al-Mu’minin Sayyidah Zaynab bint Jahsh (may Allah be pleased with her), while expressing pride over the other wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), used to say that my marriage with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was performed by Allah Almighty from above the heavens.
