Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 35056 — What they said on news of a victory

Abu Salih (may Allah have mercy on him) said that Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) stated: When the marriage of Sayyidah Zaynab (may Allah be pleased with her) was revealed, Sayyiduna Zayd bin Harithah (may Allah be pleased with him) went until he sought permission to enter upon Sayyidah Zaynab (may Allah be pleased with her). Sayyidah Zaynab (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "What business does Zayd have with me now?" The narrator said: Sayyiduna Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) sent a message to her: "I have come as the envoy of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." So Sayyidah Zaynab (may Allah be pleased with her) gave him permission. Then he gave her the glad tidings that Allah Almighty had married her to His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Hearing this, Sayyidah Zaynab (may Allah be pleased with her) fell down in prostration out of thanks.
