About the Surah

       And (remember) when you were advising that person [Zaid bin Harith ], on whom Allah has bestowed His Grace (guided him to Islam, and released him from slavery) and you [O Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)!] have done him favour [educated him, freed him, married him to Zainab ], saying: “Hold on to your wife [Zainab ] and fear Allah.” And you were hiding in your heart what Allah was going to reveal. And you did fear people (in this matter) but Allah has more right that you should fear Him. Hence, when Zaid  had accomplished his desire from her (i.e. divorced her), We gave her to you in marriage, so that in the future there may be no difficulty for the believers regarding (the marriage of) the wives of their adopted sons when they have accomplished their desire from them (i.e. they have divorced them). And Allah’s Command must be fulfilled.
