Ahmed Raza Khan: Mohammed Aqib Qadri:
And O dear Prophet, remember when you said
to him upon whom Allah has bestowed favour and you had bestowed favour,
"Keep your wife with you, and fear Allah", and you kept in your heart what
Allah willed to make known, and you feared criticism from the people; and
Allah has more right that you should fear Him; so when Zaid became unconcerned
with her, We gave her to you in marriage, so that there may be no sin upon
believers in respect of the wives of their adopted sons when they have
become unconcerned with them; and the command of Allah must be carried
out.
