Hadith 8712
عَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ أَتَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْزِلَ زَيْدِ بْنِ حَارِثَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَرَأَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ امْرَأَةَ زَيْنَبَ وَكَأَنَّهُ دَخَلَهُ لَا أَدْرِي مِنْ قَوْلِ حَمَّادٍ أَوْ فِي الْحَدِيثِ فَجَاءَ زَيْدٌ يَشْكُوهَا إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ زَوْجَكَ وَاتَّقِ اللَّهَ قَالَ فَنَزَلَتْ وَاتَّقِ اللَّهَ وَتُخْفِي فِي نَفْسِكَ مَا اللَّهُ مُبْدِيهِ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ زَوَّجْنَاكَهَا [سورة الأحزاب: ٣٧] يَعْنِي زَيْنَبَ
Narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) entered the house of Sayyiduna Zaid bin Harithah (may Allah be pleased with him) and saw his wife, Sayyidah Zainab (may Allah be pleased with her), and something occurred in his heart. It could not be determined whether this is the statement of Hammad or part of the hadith. Meanwhile, Sayyiduna Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and complained about his wife. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: Keep your wife with you and fear Allah, the Exalted. Then this command was revealed: {وَاتَّقِ اللّٰہَ وَتُخْفِی فِی نَفْسِکَ مَا اللّٰہُ مُبْدِیہِ … … زَوَّجْنَاکَہَا} … up to this point, and by this is meant Zainab (may Allah be pleased with her).
Hadith 8713
عَنْ عَامِرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا لَوْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَاتِمًا شَيْئًا مِمَّا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ لَكَتَمَ هَذِهِ الْآيَاتِ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ وَإِذْ تَقُولُ لِلَّذِي أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَأَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِ أَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ زَوْجَكَ وَاتَّقِ اللَّهَ وَتُخْفِي فِي نَفْسِكَ مَا اللَّهُ مُبْدِيهِ وَتَخْشَى النَّاسَ وَاللَّهُ أَحَقُّ أَنْ تَخْشَاهُ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ وَكَانَ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ مَفْعُولًا [سورة الأحزاب: ٣٧]
Narrated by Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: If the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) were to conceal any part of the Shariah revealed by Allah Almighty, he would have concealed these verses: {وَإِذْ تَقُولُ لِلَّذِی أَ نْعَمَ اللّٰہُ عَلَیْہِ … … وَکَانَ أَ مْرُ اللّٰہِ مَفْعُولًا}.
