حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الْمُقَدَّمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ

قَالَ جَاءَ زَيْدُ بْنُ حَارِثَةَ يَشْكُو فَجَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «اتَّقِ اللَّهَ، وَأَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ زَوْجَكَ».

قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ لَوْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَاتِمًا شَيْئًا لَكَتَمَ هَذِهِ. قَالَ فَكَانَتْ زَيْنَبُ تَفْخَرُ عَلَى أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَقُولُ زَوَّجَكُنَّ أَهَالِيكُنَّ، وَزَوَّجَنِي اللَّهُ تَعَالَى مِنْ فَوْقِ سَبْعِ سَمَوَاتٍ.

وَعَنْ ثَابِتٍ «وَتُخْفِي فِي نَفْسِكَ مَا اللَّهُ مُبْدِيهِ وَتَخْشَى النَّاسَ» نَزَلَتْ فِي شَأْنِ زَيْنَبَ وَزَيْدِ بْنِ حَارِثَةَ

Zaid ibn Haritha came to the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) complaining about his wife. The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) kept on saying (to him), “Be afraid of Allah and keep your wife.”

Aishah said, “If the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) were to conceal anything (of the Qur’an he would have concealed this Verse.” Zainab used to boast before the wives of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and used to say, “You were given in marriage by your families, while I was married (to the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)) by Allah from over seven Heavens.”

And Thabit recited, “The Verse: ‘But (O Muhammad) you did hide in your heart that which Allah was about to make manifest, you did fear the people,’ (Al-Ahzab 33:37) was revealed in connection with Zainab and Zaid ibn Haritha.”

আনাস (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, যায়দ ইবনু হারিসা (রাঃ) অভিযোগ নিয়ে আসলেন। তখন তখন নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম তাঁকে বলতে লাগলেন, তুমি আল্লাহকে ভয় কর এবং তোমার স্ত্রীকে তোমার কাছে রেখে দাও। রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ রাসূলুল্লাহ্ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম যদি কোন জিনিস গোপন করতেন, তাহলে এ আয়াতটি অবশ্যই গোপন করতেন।

বর্ণনাকারী বলেন, (যাইনাব (রাঃ) অপরাপর নবী অন্যান্য কাছে এ বলে গর্ব করতেন যে, তোমাদেরকে বিয়ে দিয়েছে তোমাদের পরিবার-পরিজন, আর আমাকে স্বয়ং আল্লাহ্ তা‘আলা সাত আসমানের ওপরে বিয়ে দিয়েছেন। বর্ণনাকারী সাবিত (রাঃ) বলেছেন, আল্লাহর বাণীঃ (হে নবী) আপনি আপনার অন্তরে যা গোপন করতেন আল্লাহ্ তা প্রকাশ করে দিচ্ছেন, আপনি লোকদের ভয় করছিলেন। এ আয়াতটি যাইনাব ও যায়দ ইবনু হারিসাহ (রাঃ) সম্পর্কে অবতীর্ণ হয়েছিল।[1] [৪৭৮৭]

ہم سے احمد نے بیان کیا، کہا ہم سے محمد بن ابی بکر المقدمی نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے کہا ہم سے حماد بن زید نے بیان کیا، ان سے ثابت نے اور ان سے انس رضی اللہ عنہ نے بیان کیا کہ زید بن حارثہ رضی اللہ عنہ ( اپنی بیوی کی ) شکایت کرنے لگے تو نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ اللہ ڈرو اور اپنی بیوی کو اپنے پاس ہی رکھو۔

عائشہ رضی اللہ عنہا نے بیان کیا کہ اگر نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کسی بات کو چھپانے والے ہوتے تو اسے ضرور چھپاتے۔ بیان کیا چنانچہ زینب رضی اللہ عنہا تمام ازواج مطہرات پر فخر سے کہتی تھی کہ تم لوگوں کی تمہارے گھر والوں نے شادی کی۔ اور میری اللہ تعالیٰ نے سات آسمانوں کے اوپر سے شادی کی اور ثابت رضی اللہ عنہ سے مروی ہے کہ آیت «وتخفي في نفسك ما الله مبديه وتخشى الناس‏» ”اور آپ اس چیز کو اپنے دل میں چھپاتے ہیں جسے اللہ ظاہر کرنے والا ہے۔“ زینب اور زید بن حارث رضی اللہ عنہ کے بارے میں نازل ہوئی تھی۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ahmad] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Muhammad bin Abu Bakar Al Muqaddami] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Hammad bin Zaid] dari [Tsabit] dari [Anas] berkata, "Zaid bin Haritsah datang melaporkan keluh kesahnya, lantas Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Bertakwalah engkau kepada Allah, dan tahanlah isterimu."

Anas berkata, "Kalaulah Rasulullah sudah merahasiakan sesuatu, beliau sungguh merahasiakannya." Ketika itu Zainab binti Jahsyin membanggakan diri kepada isteri-isteri beliau lainnya seraya berkata, 'Kalian dikawinkan oleh keluarga kalian, sebaliknya aku dikawinkan sendiri oleh Allah ta'ala dari atas langit berlapis tujuh.' Dan masih dari Tsabit mengenai ayat: '(Dan kamu merahasiakan urusanmu yang Allah membeberkannya, dan kamu takut kepada manusia) ' (Qs. Al Ahzab: 37), ayat ini diturunkan tentang percekcokan rumah tangga Zainab dan Zaid bin Haritsah

Enes şöyle demiştir: Zeyd b. Harise geldi. Eşi Zeyneb binti Cahş'tan şikayet ediyordu. Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem de (Zeyd zevcesini boşamak istedikçe) ona "Ya Zeyd! Allah'tan kork, eşini yanında tut" diyordu. Aişe r.anha eğer Resulullah Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem Allah'ın kitabından bir şey gizleseydi, şu "Eşini yanında tut.

Allah'tan kork! diyordun. Allah'ın açığa uuracağı şeyi insanlardan çekinerek içinde gizliyordun. Oysa asıl korkmana layık olan Allah'tır"(Ahzab 37) ayetini gizlerdi demiştir.

Enes şöyle dedi: Zeyneb bnt. Cahş, Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem'in diğer kadınlarına karşı övünür ve "Sizleri Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem ile kendi aileleriniz evlendirdi. Halbuki beni onunla yedi kat göklerin üstünden Yüce Allah evlendirdil" derdi. Ravi Sabit el-Bünanı 'fillah'ın açığa u uracağı şeyi insanlardan çekinerek içinde gizliyordun" ayeti Zeyneb ile Zeyd b. Harise hakkında indi demiştir

What it means

Zayd ibn Hārithah (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) complaining about his wife Zaynab bint Jahsh (may Allah be pleased with her) and consulting him about divorcing her. Allah, the Almighty, had revealed to His Messenger that he would eventually marry Zaynab.

This was revealed to him before Zayd divorced her. When Zayd came complaining about her to the Prophet and consulting him about divorcing her, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "Fear Allah, O Zayd, and keep your wife." Allah, the Almighty, reproached him for that in the Qur'anic verse: {And remember (O Muhammad) when you said to the one on whom Allah bestowed favor and you bestowed favor, "Keep your wife and fear Allah," while you concealed within yourself that which Allah is to disclose.

And you feared the people, while Allah has more right that you fear Him. So when Zayd had no longer any need for her, We married her to you in order that there not be upon the believers any discomfort concerning the wives of their adopted sons when they no longer have need of them. And ever is the command of Allah accomplished.} [Sūrat al-Ahzāb: 37] What the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) concealed within himself was dislike to marry her in fear of the people's expected disapproval of him marrying the ex-wife of his adopted son (adoption was legitimate among the Arabs before the advent of Islam). The statement of Anas: "If the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) were to conceal anything (of the Qur'an),

he would have concealed this (verse)”, means that were he enabled to conceal anything from the revelation that he receives - which was definitely impermissible for him to do - then he would have concealed this verse; however, it was impossible for him to do so. This verse is among the greatest proofs of the truthfulness of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) as Allah, the Almighty, informed us about what the Prophet felt of fearing the people's reaction.

The Prophet conveyed this verse just as Allah, the Almighty, revealed it, even though it included Allah's reproach to him. This is contrary to what a liar would do; he would avoid everything that might blemish his character.

The same can be said of the verse: {He frowned and turned away. Because the blind man came unto him.} [Sūrat ‘Abasa: 1-2], and similar verses in the Qur'an. The statement of Anas: "Zaynab used to boast before the wives of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him)" means that she used to say that her marriage to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) was ordained by Allah, and that this is a great virtue in which none of the Prophet’s wives is equal to her.

She used to say to them: "Your families have given you in marriage, while I was given in marriage by Allah, the Almighty, from above seven heavens." This part of the Hadīth establishes Allah’s presence above the heavens and how it is acknowledged by the believers. It is axiomatic to all Muslims. Rather, it is axiomatic to all the creation except the ones whose natural disposition has been altered.

It is one of the attributes of Allah that is known through texts, intellect, and natural disposition of everyone whose natural disposition has not deviated from its original sound state. The meaning of "I was given in marriage by Allah" is that Allah ordered His Messenger to marry her in the verse: {So when Zayd had no longer any need for her, We married her to you.} It is as if Allah, the Almighty, was her guardian who concluded her marriage contract to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him).
