حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ التُّسْتَرِيُّ ثنا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ أَبِي السَّرِيِّ الْعَسْقَلَانِيُّ ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَعْيَنَ الْحَرَّانِيُّ ثنا حَفْصُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنِ الْكُمَيْتِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ الْأَسَدِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَذْكُورٌ مَوْلَى زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ عَنْ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ قَالَتْ
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»

✧ A number of men from Quraysh proposed to me, so I sent my sister Hamnah to the Messenger of God ﷺ to consult him. The Messenger of God ﷺ said to her, "Where is she in comparison to one who will teach her the Book of her Lord and the Sunnah of her Prophet?" She said, "And who is he, O Messenger of God?" He said, "Zayd b. Harithah." Hamnah became extremely angry and said, "O Messenger of God, will you marry the daughter of your paternal aunt to your freedman?" She said: She came to me and informed me, and I became angrier than she had been, and I said something even stronger than what she had said. Then God revealed: {It is not for a believing man or a believing woman, when God and His Messenger have decreed a matter, to have any choice in their affair}. She said: So I sent to the Messenger of God ﷺ and said, "I seek God's forgiveness and I obey God and His Messenger. Do what you see fit." So he married me to Zayd. I used to disparage him, and he complained about me to the Messenger of God ﷺ. The Messenger of God ﷺ admonished me, but I returned to my behavior and rebuked him with my tongue. He complained about me to the Messenger of God ﷺ, and the Messenger of God ﷺ said, "Keep your wife and fear God." He said, "O Messenger of God, I will divorce her." She said: So he divorced me. When my waiting period ended, I was not aware of anything until the Messenger of God ﷺ entered upon me in my house while my hair was uncovered. I said, "This is a command from heaven." I said, "O Messenger of God, without a proposal or witnesses?" He said, "God is the matchmaker, and Gabriel is the witness."
