[Machine] I heard Anas bin Malik saying, "Zainab used to boast among the Prophet's wives and say, 'Allah married me to him from the heavens.'" Then Yahya said, "Do you mean the saying of Allah, 'We married her to you?' (referring to verse 33:37 of Surah Al-Ahzab)."  

الكبرى للنسائي:٧٧٠٧أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ طَهْمَانَ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ كَانَتْ زَيْنَبُ تَفْتَخِرُ عَلَى نِسَاءِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ تَقُولُ أَنْكَحَنِيَ اللهُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ قَالَ يَحْيَى تُرِيدُ قَوْلَ اللهِ {زَوَّجْنَاكَهَا} [الأحزاب 37]
