[Machine] Several companions of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ proposed marriage to me, so I sent my sister to consult with him on the matter. The Prophet ﷺ asked my sister, "Where is the one who will teach her the Book of her Lord and the Sunnah of her Prophet?" My sister asked, "Who?" He said, "Zaid ibn Harithah." I became angry when she informed me of this and said, "I will marry your cousin instead." Then I went to the Prophet ﷺ and told him what had happened. Allah then revealed the verse, "It is not for a believing man or a believing woman, when Allah and His Messenger have decided a matter, that they should [thereafter] have any choice about their affair" (Quran 33:36). I sent a message to him saying, "Marry me to whomever you wish." He married me to Zaid, but I held negative feelings towards him. I complained to the Prophet ﷺ, who told Zaid to keep me as his wife and advised me to fear Allah. However, I continued to complain and eventually Zaid divorced me. When my waiting period ended, I felt that the Prophet ﷺ and I were being watched, as my hair was uncovered. I thought that this matter was a decree from the heavens. I said to the Messenger of Allah, "There was no proposal or witnesses." He replied, "Allah is the matchmaker and Gabriel is the witness." Even though the chain of narration of this hadith may not be strong, it is widely known that Zainab bint Jahsh, who belonged to the Banu Asad bin Khuzaymah tribe and was the niece of the Prophet ﷺ's wife Umm Habiba bint Abi Sufyan, was with Zaid ibn Harithah until he divorced her. Then the Prophet ﷺ married her, as is also mentioned in the hadith about the daughter of your cousin, and the correct opinion is that she is actually the daughter of your aunt.
