وَمَن يَعْصِ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ ضَلَٰلًا مُّبِينًا 36b  وَإِذْ تَقُولُ لِلَّذِىٓ أَنْعَمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَأَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِ أَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ زَوْجَكَ وَٱتَّقِ ٱللَّهَ وَتُخْفِى فِى نَفْسِكَ مَا ٱللَّهُ مُبْدِيهِ وَتَخْشَى ٱلنَّاسَ وَٱللَّهُ أَحَقُّ أَن تَخْشَىٰهُ 37a 

                                       

36b.  and whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger, he verily goeth astray in error manifest. 37a.  And when thou saidst unto him on whom Allah hath conferred favour and thou hast conferred favour: Keep thy wife to thyself and fear Allah. And thou didst hide in thy mind that which Allah was to bring to light, and thou didst fear mankind whereas Allah hath a better right that thou shouldst fear Him.

36b.  Wa  many-ya’-Sillaaha  wa  RasuulaHuu  faqad  zalla  zalaalam-mubiinaa. 37a.  Wa  ‘iz  taquulu  lillazii  ‘an-‘amAllaahu  ‘alayhi  wa  ‘an-amta  ‘alayhi  ‘amsik  ‘alayka  zawjaka  watta-Qillaaha  wa  tukhfii  fii  nafsika  mAllaahu  mubdiiHi  wa  takh-shan-naas.  Wallaahu  ‘ahaqqu  ‘an-  takhshaaH.

Commentary

                                                               

It is commanded: The person who disobeys Allaah Almighty and His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him); certainly goes astray from the right path and his error is very clear.

After that, it has been indicated toward that incident, by which a bad ritual was erased. Detail of the incident is that “there was a noble man from Arab whose name was Zayd son of Harith. During his childhood, any cruel person kidnapped him and sold in Makkah as a slave. Khadijah (May Allaah be pleased with her) bought him and gave to the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him). After some days, when his relatives traced him, then his father, uncle and brother came and met with the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) and requested: Take some exchange and hand him over to us! The Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) said: I don’t need any retaliation. You may bring him with you if he desires to go. But Zayd (May Allaah be pleased with him) liked to live with the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him). He (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) set him free from slavery, adopted him as his son and wished to marry him with Zainab (May Allaah be pleased with her) daughter of Jahsh, who was the daughter of the Messenger’s father’s sister, named Umaymah daughter of Abdul-Mutlib. Zainab and her brother did not like this relationship.

In the first part of this verse, explained in the previous lesson, it was commanded: It is not for a believing man or a believing woman, when Allaah and His Messenger have decided a matter, that they should, thereafter, have any choice about their affair.

Zainab (May Allaah be pleased with her) obeyed the commandment of the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) of Allaah Almighty and got married”.
