37b. So when Zayd
had performed that necessary formality (of divorce) from her, We gave her
unto thee in marriage, so that (henceforth) there may be no sin for Believers
in respect of wives of their adopted sons, when the latter have performed the
necessary formality (of release) from them. And the Commandment of Allah must
be fulfilled.

Commentary
It is commanded: When pleasure of marriage had been over and Zayd
had no longer any need for his wife Zainab, then We married her to you O
Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be
upon him) in order that the Believers should not hesitate in marriage with the
wives of their adopted sons after passing of the waiting period (‘iddat);
when after marriage they no longer have any need of them and divorce them. In this
connection it was the Commandment of Allaah Almighty which can never be
avoided.
In most of the nations of the world, it has
become prevalent that children of others are adopted as own children. The same
custom was in Arab also that to whom one would have adopted own son by one’s
tongue, then he was considered as one’s real son and his entire matters were
treated like the real son.
Allaah Almighty
desired to finish this tradition from the Muslims for ever. At first this
Commandment was revealed in Holy Qur’an that adopted sons are not equal
to real sons. After that it was shown practically that the Messenger (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon him) adopted Zayd as his son. Then it
was commanded that you should tie the nuptial knot of Zayd with Zainab
daughter of Jahsh, who is your paternal cousin sister. When they got
married then disagreed to each other and used to dispute often.
Zayd divorced Zainab (May Allaah be pleased with them).
Then it was commanded: We married Zainab
to you O Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him). In this
connection he was still in hesitation. Then it was commanded: It is not a matter
of will. We have to settle such case like this.
