[Machine] About Qatadah's saying, "And it is not for a believing man or believing woman, when Allah and His Messenger have decided a matter, that they should [thereafter] have any choice about their affair. And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger has certainly strayed into clear error." He said, "This verse was revealed regarding Zainab bint Jahsh, who was the cousin of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ proposed to her, and she accepted, thinking that he was proposing to her for himself. However, when she found out that he was proposing to her on behalf of Zaid bin Harithah, she refused and disputed. So Allah revealed this verse, 'And it is not for a believing man or believing woman...'."
