إِنَّ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتَ جَحْشٍ قَالَتْ أَ يَرَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) إِنْ خَلَّى سَبِيلَنَا أَنَّا لَا نَجِدُ زَوْجاً غَيْرَهُ وَ قَدْ كَانَ اعْتَزَلَ نِسَاءَهُ تِسْعاً وَ عِشْرِينَ لَيْلَةً فَلَمَّا قَالَتْ زَيْنَبُ الَّذِي قَالَتْ بَعَثَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ جَبْرَئِيلَ إِلَى مُحَمَّدٍ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فَقَالَ قُلْ لِأَزْواجِكَ إِنْ كُنْتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ الْحَياةَ الدُّنْيا وَ زِينَتَها فَتَعالَيْنَ أُمَتِّعْكُنَّ الْآيَتَيْنِ كِلْتَيْهِمَا فَقُلْنَ بَلْ نَخْتَارُ اللَّهَ وَ رَسُولَهُ وَ الدَّارَ الْآخِرَةَ .
Translation
Humeyd Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Sama’at, from Ja’far Bin sama’at, from Dawood Bin Sirhan, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Zaynab Bint Jahash said, ‘Does Muhammad<sup>saww</sup> view that if he<sup>saww</sup> were to free our way we would not find husbands other than him<sup>saww</sup>?’ And he<sup>saww</sup> had detached from his<sup>saww</sup> wives for twenty-nine nights. So when Zaynab said which she said, Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Sent Jibraeel<sup>as</sup> to Muhammad<sup>saww</sup>, so he<sup>as</sup> said <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:33#h28"><a href="/books/quran:33#h28">[33:28]</a></a> O Prophet! Say to your wives: If you desire the life of the world and its adornment, then come, I will give you a provision</span> – both the two Verses. So they said, ‘But we choose Allah<sup>azwj</sup> and His<sup>azwj</sup> Rasool<sup>saww</sup> and the House of the Hereafter’.
