[Machine] Several members of the Quraysh approached me, so I sent my sister Hamna to consult with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked her, "Where is the one who teaches her the book of her Lord and the tradition of her Prophet?" She asked, "And who is that, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "Zaid bin Haritha." Hamna became extremely angry and said, "O Messenger of Allah, will you marry your cousin's slave?!" She came back and informed me, and I became angrier than she was, and said something even more severe. So Allah 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." She sent a message to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "Indeed, I seek forgiveness from Allah and I obey Allah and His Messenger; do as you please." So he married me to Zaid, and I used to disparage him. I complained to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , so he admonished me. Then I took hold of his tongue and complained to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Keep your husband and fear Allah." He said, "O Messenger of Allah, I want to divorce her." So he divorced me. When my waiting period was over, the only person I informed was the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . He visited me at my house while I was uncovered and I said, "This is a matter from the heavens." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, without a proposal or witnesses?" He replied, "Allah is the matchmaker, and Gabriel is the witness."
خَطَبَنِي عِدَّةٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ فَأَرْسَلْتُ أُخْتِي حَمْنَةَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَسْتَشِيرُهُ فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَيْنَ هِيَ مِمَّنْ يُعَلِّمُهَا كِتَابَ رَبِّهَا وَسُنَّةَ نَبِيِّهَا؟» قَالَتْ وَمَنْ هُوَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ «زَيْدُ بْنُ حَارِثَةَ؟» قَالَ فَغَضِبَتْ حَمْنَةُ غَضَبًا شَدِيدًا وَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَتُزَوِّجُ بِنْتَ عَمَّتِكَ مَوْلَاكَ؟ قَالَتْ جَاءَتْنِي فَأَعْلَمَتْنِي فَغَضِبْتُ أَشَدَّ مِنْ غَضَبِهَا وَقُلْتُ أَشَدَّ مِنْ قَوْلِهَا فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ {وَمَا كَانَ لِمُؤْمِنٍ وَلَا مُؤْمِنَةٍ إِذَا قَضَى اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَمْرًا أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُمُ الْخِيَرَةُ مِنْ أَمْرِهِمْ} قَالَتْ فَأَرْسَلْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَقُلْتُ إِنِّي اسْتَغْفِرُ اللهَ وَأُطِيعُ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ افْعَلْ مَا رَأَيْتَ فَزَوَّجْنِي زَيْدًا وَكُنْتُ أَرْثِي عَلَيْهِ فَشَكَانِي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَعَاتَبَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ عُدْتُ فَأَخَذْتُهُ بِلِسَانِي فَشَكَانِي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ زَوْجَكَ وَاتَّقِ اللهَ» فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنَا أُطَلِّقُهَا قَالَتْ فَطَلَّقَنِي فَلَمَّا انْقَضَتْ عِدَّتِي لَمْ أَعْلَمْ إِلَّا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَدْ دَخَلَ عَلِيَّ بِبَيْتِي وَأَنَا مَكْشُوفَةُ الشَّعْرِ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّهُ أَمَرٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ بِلَا خِطْبَةٍ وَلَا إِشْهَادٍ؟ فَقَالَ «اللهُ الْمُزَوِّجُ وَجِبْرِيلُ الشَّاهِدُ»
