MUHAMMAD AND HIS SON’S WIFE

This next account focuses on three persons: Muhammad, his adopted son Zaid, and Zaid’s wife Zaynab. I will not go into all the details because this event is documented in depth in an article by Sam http://www.answering-islam.org/Shamoun/zaynab.htm

I’ll present the story, relevant Quranic passages, some comments, and a summary. I’ll quote from Sam Shamoun’s article because there is no need for me to re-write the argument. Quotes from Sam’s work will be in blue font, while Quranic passages will be in green.

This story is that one day Muhammad went to visit his adopted son Zaid (also spelled Zayd). Zaid was not home but his wife Zaynab was. Muhammad saw her scantily dressed and commented on her great beauty. The wife overheard Muhammad and was flattered. This caused her to gloat and in turn she taunted her husband. Therefore Zaid, knowing that Muhammad wanted her to satisfy his sexual desire, went to Muhammad and offered to divorce her. Muhammad told him not to divorce her but to remain with her. However the damage had been done and Zaid could no longer withhold something, even his wife’s body, from Muhammad. A short while later Zaid divorced Zaynab to enable Muhammad to marry her and satisfy his lust. Thereafter Muhammad did indeed marry her.

Below is the passage from the Quran on this event.

You said to the man whom God and yourself have favored: ‘Keep your wife and have fear of God.’ You sought to hide in your heart what God was to reveal. You were afraid of man, although it would have been more proper to fear God. And when Zayd divorced his wife, We gave her to you in marriage, so that it should become legitimate for true believers to wed the wives of their adopted sons if they divorced them. God’s will must needs be done. No blame shall be attached to the Prophet for doing what is sanctioned for him by God. Such was the way of God with the prophets who passed away before him (God’s decrees are pre-ordained); who fulfilled the mission with which God had charged them, fearing God and fearing none beside Him. Sufficient is God’s reckoning. The Confederate Tribes, 33:37, 38 Dawood.

Sam Shamoun summarizes Muhammad’s justification and trite excuse, found above, and presents two significant problems with the Quran’s pretext:

According to the Quran itself Allah caused Muhammad to have desires for another man’s wife, namely his adopted son Zaid ibn Haritha’s spouse Zaynab bint Jash. This led to his adopted son divorcing her so that Muhammad could marry her. The alleged reason why Allah commanded this to happen was so that Muhammad could set the example for others to emulate, making it permissible for adoptive fathers to marry their adopted children’s divorcees:

The other problem with this marriage is that shortly after it took place Allah abolished the practice of adoption completely:

God has not assigned to any man two hearts within his breast; nor has He made your wives, when you divorce, saying, ‘Be as my mother’s back,’ truly your mothers, neither has He made your adopted sons your sons in fact. That is your own saying, the words of your mouths; but God speaks the truth, and guides on the way. Call them after their true fathers; that is more equitable in the sight of God. If you know not who their fathers were, then they are your brothers in religion, and your clients. There is no fault in you if you make mistakes, but only in what your hearts premeditate. God is All-forgiving, All-compassionate. S. 33:4-5

In light of the foregoing, how could Muhammad set the example for adoptive fathers to marry their adopted sons’ former spouses when Allah went on to forbid the practice of adoption? Does this make any sense whatsoever? Is it not obvious that Muhammad needed to find justification for marrying Zaynab so he came up with this excuse and after people continued taunting him for marrying his son’s divorcee he then decided to do away with adoption altogether?

Sam’s summary is below:

1. Allah caused Muhammad to start lusting for a married woman who happened to be the wife of his adopted son.

2. Allah even caused Muhammad’s son to divorce his wife so that Muhammad could then marry her.

3. The reason why Allah did this was to show others that it was permissible for them to marry their adopted sons’ former wives.

4. Yet later on Allah forbade the adoption of children and prohibited calling any one the child of someone other than his/her biological father.

5. Therefore, Muhammad’s marriage to Zaynab was unnecessary since Muslims have no chance of ever marrying the former wives of their adopted children since there is no more adoption in Islam!

6. Furthermore, Muslims believe that Allah knows all things which means that he knew beforehand that he was going to abolish the practice of adoption. Why did he then commission the divorce between Zayd and Zaynab in order to allow Muhammad to set an example for others to marry their adopted children’s divorcees when he already knew in advance that he would prohibit adoption altogether?

Hence, whether a person consults the Quran alone or seeks to understand it by turning to the hadiths and/or the Islamic commentators, the fact remains that a Muslim must still deal with Muhammad committing adultery by taking another man’s wife.

Let’s be honest: had Muhammad truly wanted Zaid’s marriage to work, he would have exerted his influence and continued to counsel them to stay together. After all, didn’t Muhammad teach that “Allah” hates divorce?

Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar:
The Prophet said: Of all the lawful acts the most detestable to Allah is divorce. Sunan of Abu Dawood, Book 12, Number 2173:

Apparently when it comes to satisfying Muhammad’s sexual desires, Allah doesn’t hate divorce very much, he actually planned a divorce!

And my goodness! What does this tell you about Islamic marriage? Here is a man, married to a beautiful wife, but he does not love or respect her. She was nothing more than a sexual plaything to Muhammad and Zaid chucked her up on the meat block to gratify Muhammad’s lust. This was not a marriage based on love: it was a marriage for Muhammad’s lust.

Muhammad played the Jon Lovitz “Pathological Liar” character and invented “Quranic” lies to justify his sin.

    not only was muhammed a pediophle, but he lusted after another man’s wife, shame on you muhammed! shame! shame. no amount justification in the hadith, or koran will justify what has happened. I’m certain he had such a guilt complex for what he did and many sleepless nights. how could a prophet be called a prophet and do this dispicable thing. the prohets of the old testament did no such thing. not only did he lust after his adoptive son’s wife, he eventually married her and had his full desire of her. i wonder what was her feelings about this situation, does it matter, did she lust after him too. were is the moral ethics in this story. it appears that the prophet of islam was not only a pediophle, but a womanizer, but he was also a murderer of many thousands of people for the sake of islam. one should consisder very carefully before following after a prophet, imman, priest, minister, reverend, bishop, or pope.

    Its quite shocking to see people of my faith and country to criticize and wrongly LIE about one’s faith and belief. I wonder if the readers are so ignorant and stupid to believe such a text. Amongst millions of muslims isnt there even ONE intelligent one or with common sense to realize this nonsense written about prophet Mohammad and detest the faith.
    I am a professor of commuted Religion and have deeply studied Islam. There is NO such text as mentioned above and Sam Shamoun is nothing but a disgusting liar who has nothing better to do than make mischief. The prophet did have a son called Zayed but NEVER MARRIED Zainab. Adoption is still very much alive and allowed in Islam. I request my fellow Americans to restrain from reading such articles that create nothing but hatred, detestment, anger, differences and FALSE KNOWLEDGE. remember, Jesus has said LOVE THY NEIGHBOR.
    On its own platform, ISLAM is a very beautiful religion and i will not hesitate in admitting that though born in a christian family and a strong believer in Jesus our Lord, Islam alleured me and fascinated me more than Christianity. If one could get a Koran from some place (authentic and not designed to detest), one will not find a more interesting and beautiful book.
    May jesus bless our souls and have mercy on the mischief makers.

    You must be insane to make up such and article just for the sake to see; how people react to this. Please the person who has posted this, kindly remove it. Its not even worth reading, you can tell it is nothing but lies when you just read the title, PROPHET MUHAMMAD AND HIS SON’S WIFE” The adopted son never had a wife.

    I really dont know what to write, except that, these kind of articles provoke muslims to adopt violence, which by means they are not suppose to do, but after reading or listening to ridiculous articles as above, anger prevails on senses. to muslims and im sure also to a normal person.

    Also if you are insane, please refrain from using ur name in your pathetic made up story. SAM seems to be a christian name. But i understand that these views are of a person without brains. BUT since SAM is a christian name, this will only create hatred in muslims heart again christians.

    PLEASE STOP THIS and LIVE n LET LIVE in PEACE

    well the writer of the article knows exactly what hes talking about.its often when articles are written or spoken about islam and muslim in general they muslm always comes up in numbers to protest violently. Seems violence to muslim is the only way of resolving their differences with themselves and others. Constantly you here them doing that under the pretex of their religion. coz to them violence is sanctioned by their God Allah. Many death sentences have been issued (Fatwa)to many truth tellers. why cant they sit down and ponder why all this is spoken about islam? often you here muslim in western countries complaining of racial profiling. Well as long as you want to leave is seclusion of not wanting to integrate with other people of different faith then problems are likely to increase. open up your community to and be part othe larger one. thats why when you go to a country like Iran women are segregated from men in every area. i wonder why when they go to meccah segregation doesnt take place? they say if you go to roma you live like romans. I would conclude this by saying many muslim male found themselves rendering services to terorists groups such as al Qaeda islamic jihads, abu sayaf etc because they believe what is been preached by those leaders is legitimate and comes from the qoran. I really wonder if muslim in general feels that their religion has been highjaked by this lunatics and the image of islam has been tarnished so bad. you have an obligation to come out and clear it or leave it coz thats the reality. It came by sword and will go by sword. I decided to go out of the subject matter coz all this allegations and counter allegations originates from the book lets the debate continues. we can begin quoting the quran so that people cud see the truth rather than always denying the quran doesnt say that or this ok give us the correct translation better than that from the so called extremists?

    The above statement is true and the writer is telling the truth.Muhammad had a adopted son and he had 3 wives among them one was Zaynab ,Who was cousin to Muhammad.Muhammad get his son married to his cousin and after that when he become to realize that his cousin is much more beautifel than his other wives he had a wish in mind to marry her.So Muhammad used treachery so that his son divorce his wife so that he can marry her.

    I know it better than anyone because i am myself a muslim and a professor of Islamic Study but i have always hate this kind of things.

    Sine I used to use the Internet to get
    information I concluded that those who attack
    Islam have three styles:
    1-they tell true stories about the prophet
    (pbuh).the trick here is that these stories
    because of the distance of history way of lhfe and even the internal feelings and thoughts of that ancient
    generation ,I say, those stories come to be strange to us while they come very normal to the ancient.therefore I think that when you come to study Islam you must
    have great knoledge of historical sociolgy nations
    and know every small detail ,for example. you must know that before Islam the prophet(pbuh)had much more
    freedom to make relations with women.you must know how he was described by his wives.
    2- The second style used is to mention a part
    of story while hidden the oher part.
    3- the third style is mere lies.
    please be fair and study much before you argue
    because Allah call for justice

    The quran doesn’t go into a whole lot of detail about muhammad, come to think of it doesn’t go into detail about much anything other than half of it has been copied out of the bible and the other half was written by a group of saudi horny bastards. For a people and religion that profess equality for women, excuse, a religion that says, hit women, get four wives, women are stupid so their testimony is half, their inheritance is half too since the menfolf support them and they aren’t suppose to work. The men get equal custody of the child even though the woman is the one that bears the child. Apparently the arab men think that they bear those children. The women do however get alimoney. The most filthy and disgusting men belong to this religion making their women cover their faces and hiding them at home and going around using other people’s women for sex, harassing , staring, raping other women and then after they’ve had sex with all the western women, they go and marry a virgin girl from their muslim country. The virgin girls have waited for their husbands to satisfy themselves and come to wed them. The religion doesn’t say that however the muslim men seem to think that it does. It’s a good thing that the americans went over to Iraq turned some arab women into whores. ABOUT TIME!!!

    This kinds of false stories rather prompts people to study Islam, and they realise the truth rather these sorts of vile propaganda, like this article, about Islam.

    Please do me a favour and read before you make assumptions and blasphemous remarks about Islam and its prophet. The Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h.) was the most noble and honourable human being ever to be on this earth and he was sent by Allah as a mercy unto to all mankind, no to Muslims, but to all of mankind. So read his biography by Martin Links or SR al-Mubarakpuri, and you will be pleasantly informed as to this noble prophet’s life, wives, propagation of Islam, etc. May Allah guide you to the correct way.

      u idiot… anything happened in prophet’s life had a cause, a motto… from
      adam to Mohamed (P B U T) Mohamed married to zainab… and she is his cousine… it is mohamed who ordered zaid to mary zainab… but both denied… then come a verse… in which Allah says It is not for a believing man or a believing woman, when a matter has been decided by Allah and His Messenger, to have any say in their decision; and whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger has most clearly gone astray. [33: 36]
      then both agreed and marry… but due to incapitable match the can not follow their marriage life… zaid came more than once to take permission from the prophet to give divorce to them… but he stoped him to do so… When Zayd, who had also had misgivings about the proposed match, and Zaynab realized that there was no difference between what the Prophet wanted and what Allah wanted, they both agreed to the marriage, the Prophet providing a handsome dowry for Zaynab on Zayd’s behalf. The marriage, however, was not a success. Although both Zaynab and Zayd were the best of people, who loved Allah and His Messenger, they were very different and in the end they could not overcome their incompatibility. Zayd asked the Prophet’s permission to divorce Zaynab more than once, and although he was counseled to hold onto his wife and to fear Allah, in the end the divorce took place. The Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) then was ordered by Allah to marry Zaynab bint Jahsh, while he did in 5 AH, when he was fifty-eight years old, and she was thirty-five years old. In doing so, he demonstrated beyond doubt that in Islam an adopted son is not regarded in the same light as a natural son, and that although a father may never marry a woman whom his natural son has married and then divorced, the father of an adopted son is permitted to marry a woman who was once, but is no longer, married to that adopted son. Furthermore, by marrying Zaynab, the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) also confirmed that it is permissible for cousins to marry, and , at the same time, Zaynab was given her heart’s desire to be married to the Best of Creation…. one thing more… i know u r not muslima but a christian or jews (not true christian or jews) have u read bible… i will advice u t oread quran… surah maryam…. in which u came to know that how pious maryam is… how she is still virgin… how she is a best muslimah… and then go back to uor book of faith… the bible… that will tell u how loose character maryam is… there is no father to jesus (PBUH) and the maryam (PBUH) given bith to him and no man on this earth touched her… she is pure and pious like paradise…

IF THAT EVENT IS REALLY IN THE KORAN THEN SOMEONE PLACED IT THERE BUT I AM SURE IT DIDNT HAPPEN. THIS IS WHY WE HUMANS HAVE TO TRY TO USE COMMON SENSE AND INTUITION WHEN WE READ OR STUDY.

    The comments by “sam” are misinformed, venomous, and childish. He can not harm Muhammad (saw), or Islam by them. He will most likely harm only himself. Islam came first to a people who were in need of a lot of reform in terms of their behavior. Allaah (swt) changed many things gradually. The prohibition against comsuming alcohol came in stages. Similarly, reform to the method of adopting children came in stages. First the marriage to Zaynab,(ra), was allowed, and then A TYPE OF adoption was prohibited. That in which the adoptive parents pretend to be the parents of the adoptee. Surely you have seen how much misery this causes when the child discovers that these are not his actual parents. In this age of rampant DNA testing to find out “Who’s your daddy?”, how could any one believe that this system works at all? In addition, when medical treatment is needed, it can become imperative to know who your relatives are. In Islam, you have the right to know your blood relations, even if you are not being raised by them. Islam DOES NOT prohibit adoption. In fact, the good care of orphans is one of its highest obligations. Islam has the answers, if you are willing to accept them. May Allaah (swt) guide and forgive us all.

    Everyone is arguing when the Quran is clear about this issue. The reason many people here are “mad” or “disappointed” (believers and non-believers) that Muhammed actually did marry his adopted son wife after they had divorce is because we have a misconception that an adopted son is blood son. Even if you know it’s legal, there is a “dark cloud” over such an idea. HOWEVER, if you read the Quran referring to this issue, you learn that GOD wants to remove this misconception. Instead of reading and following the opinions of some dude who post misleading articles about past people who are not alive to defend themselves, just read the Quran for the truth:

    [33:4]
    GOD did not give any man two hearts in his chest. Nor did He turn your wives whom you estrange (according to your custom) into your mothers. Nor did He turn your adopted children into genetic offspring. All these are mere utterances that you have invented. GOD speaks the truth, and He guides in the (right) path.

    [33:5]
    You shall give your adopted children names that preserve their relationship to their genetic parents. This is more equitable in the sight of GOD. If you do not know their parents, then, as your brethren in religion, you shall treat them as members of your family. You do not commit a sin if you make a mistake in this respect; you are responsible for your purposeful intentions. GOD is Forgiver, Most Merciful.

    [33:37]
    Recall that you said to the one who was blessed by GOD, and blessed by you, “Keep your wife and reverence GOD,” and you hid inside yourself what GOD wished to proclaim. Thus, you feared the people, when you were supposed to fear only GOD. When Zeid was completely through with his wife, we had you marry her, in order to establish the precedent that a man can marry the divorced wife of his adopted son. GOD’s commands shall be done.

    To me, the only logical and convincing way to remove such misconception is to do it or have it done. Muhammad also had this misconception that his adopted son’s divorce wife was off limits yet he may have wanted to marry her. Muhammad feared the people reactions to such a marriage “so you going to marry you adopted son’s divorced wife!!”. So he hid his desire to marry her (his adopted son divorced wife). But according to GOD in the Quran, such misconceptions are falsehood and needed to be removed. The truth is, according to the Quran, Muhammad did indeed marry his adopted son divorced wife. And according to the Quran, there is nothing wrong with that. Also, according to the Quran, adoption is PREFECTLY legal.

    Muhammad was human (Quran-17:93), just like I am human. So if I want to marry my adopted son divorced wife, is it wrong because people may think its strange? No! And according to GOD in the Quran, I am right. If a mother wants to marry her adopted daughter divorced husband, is she wrong because people may think it may seem strange? Should she fear doing so because of people’s reaction? No! And according to GOD in the Quran, she has every right to do so. Peace

    Jihad doesnot means Killing at all. If you dnt have proper knwoledge about Jihad dnt go on saying bulshits. Jihad is protesting against some one when they are annoying you, taking over your land , resources and other belonging by force. What you ppl are doing with muslims every where the same, snacthing there resources like oil, land atomic energy,So in situation like this muslims are allowed by Allah to combat them.Muslims are not Killers instead they are being killed no where in the world they are safe, Their women are being rapen, children are being murdered just in the lust of land oil and the resources they have. America the biggest scum on the earth is using Jihad for its own favour. Changing the meaning of Jihad time to time. Jihad was very happily encouraged by this dog called America and all the other alliances when they use it to breal russia into pieces just to snacth the power and resources. Now when muslims are fighting for their freedom and respect you ppl are calling them killer

    There is no proof that the Curran is Divine. Mohammad is the only witness and Moses gave the law that every word should be established by two or three witnesses. Most Muslims believe what they are told without even looking because they are warned against seeking and asking any questions. They are fed the false teachings from birth and by fears and threats. Never did any of God’s holy prophets ever do the vile hateful murderous lying sexual sins the the self-proclaimed prophet of mecca did. If Muslims would read for themselves they would be shocked as to his debased mind. Jesus said there will be no marriages in heaven, yet Mohammad gave the promise of a whore house to anyone who will follow him. It is evident to a sane mind that God is not a filthy sexual beast who tempts men by their lusts. That is what satan does.

    Muslims, wake up! Allah is not God,, Allah is Satan who posed through a false prophet to destroy all the works and words of the true prophets. Mohammad has no other witnesses, All the other prophets agree with each other. Mohammad is the one who tried uncessfully, to change God’s word. Study the Bible. Muslims say it has been changed and they can give absolutely no proof. The Bible has been proven by many witnesses to be the same as always. Leave Islam. At least ask in prayer with a sincere heart pray to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to show you. It is your eternal life that you are risking. The proof to you is in your own books. One is when Mohammad met the lying spirit in the cave. No time ever did any of God’s Holy Angel threaten or try to kill anyone by squeezing them to death three times because they can not read. That is a cruel spirit. Gabriel always gave comfort to all He talked with. Surely if he was the true Angel of God, he would have known that Mohammad can not read. That was satan himself. Mohammae deven tried to kill himself after that horrible experience. God speaks peace, not fear.

    How can you justify Mohammad’s behavior? A man who would say that God gave him a child to screw? She was 6 years old when he married her. Was he afraid someone else would get to her first? Where was his faith if God gave her to him? Why didn’t he wait until she was at least old enough to bear a child? God does not do that to children. God never allows old men to do that with any child, much less a prophet who should be an example not the exception. Why is it that Mohammad was always the only one who was told that he can do such things? Why didn’t God give a dream to others? Why did it always happen to fulfill Mohammad’s lusts. Why didn’t God expect Holiness from His prophet instead of sexual perversions? Jesus said it will be better for him that a millstone was tied around his neck and he was thrown into the deepest sea than that he should offend a child.

The Bible says that most people will be lost because they did not receive a love of truth that thay might be saved,, Protecting this man so you do not have to be persecuted is not worth eternal hell fires. What sin did he NOT commit? He used his position a ss a self-proclaimed prophet and in every case when he wanted some lusts fulfilled, He alone got a revelation that his god gave it to him, How convenient for him.

    I totally agree with Corrine. Muslims hell is real. I pray that the God of Abraham,Issac and Jacob will open your eyes to this deception. Anyone who studies Islam and converts into a muslim is ignorant of the truth, which sets free. Jesus came to seek and save that which was lost. If you want to prove this wrong, I challenge you to begin to read the Bible in earnestness, I can assure you it is life to the dead, healing to the sick,hope for the lost and restoration to the hurting.You need no Jihad or abusive terms to protect it or Muhammad/Allah. It will release life to your spirit. Eternal life that will propel you to your destiny. Jesus is real and He is alive, he comes running when you call oh Him . Allah doesn’t, never had,never will. He is a dead as a dodo. Turn to the truth.You shall bear me witness on your deathbed,that hell is so real, no one ever calls on Allah on their deathbed. Islam is a deception. My muslim brothers and sisters, I love you and thats why I share this message of truth.Turn to God and live.Stick with Allah and die.Amen.

    Hi All,
    Please read the Quran and Hadees before wring the non-sense. Muhammed(SA) intension is not only the Lust. If Lust is main factor he wont marry Khadeeja, his first wife. When he was 25 he married 40 yr old widow, she had some children, two time she was married before him.

    He married all other women after the khadeeja only except ayisha all wee widows and old.

    Ayisha is the Youngest wife. somebody told in above comment he married her at 6. its not true. he married her after her periods only.
    Arabi people have belief that adopted son is like their blood son. But Quran tellling don’t consider them as ur blood son. You are just Calling them son. You have to call them with their parent Name. (Quran 33:4-5, 33:37). Muhammed (SA) had a son called Ibrahim but he died,when he was a child.

    Zaid was his freed slave and he adopted him as a son and Muhammed(SA) arranged marriage with Zaid and Zainaba, prophets cousine. She was so cute, due to this reason their family life was short. Zaid came and told to muhammed(SA) about divorce . He was very sad. After that he married the Zainab.

    Islam allowing that a woman can marry her adopted daughters divorced husband. But it is not allowd for blood relations.

    http://www.answering islam.org posting lot of non-sense messages they are trying to prove quran is wrong and full of contradiction. But they failed th mission , http://www.answeringislam.com giving the answer and quran is still alive.. So the next thing is to say slag words on muhammed (SA). We muslim loving Muhammed (SA) and Jesus too. So we wont tell any non-sense on prophet Jesus.

    Since the time of prophet the enemy’s are started this non-sense throwing mentality. And the Jew Christian Lobby are combining together and attacking the Islam. Saddam killed a few then Bush kIlled 12,00000 in Iraq and so many in Afganistan then how many time we have to hang Him. Christian Terrorrism is more danger to this world, Like what we are seeing now.

    So when you people are throwing the mudd. just look on yourself then you will understand, You cant wipe out Islam n Quran from this world .

    My sincere advice to Corrine and Brenda is study islam from the Noble Qur’an and Sahih Hadeeth.

    Quran and Hadeeth are available in the net.

    the article about Muhammand( peace be upon Him) marrying his adopted son’s wife ( devorce) is true and is well documented.here is an article about it:

    “Zaynab bint Jahsh, may Allah be pleased with her, married the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in 5 AH, when she was thirty-five and the Prophet was fifty-eight, but only after her pervious marriage, which had been arranged by the Prophet himself, had ended in divorce. As with all the marriages of the Prophet Muhammad, there was much for all the Muslims to learn from it. Zaynab bint Jahsh was the Prophet Muhammad’s cousin, her mother Umayma being the daughter of Abdul Muttalib, Muhammad’s grandfather, who, while he was alive, had ensured the safety of his grandson, thanks to his position as one of the most respected leaders of the Quraish. Thus Zaynab bint Jahsh came from one of the noblest families of the Quraish, and everyone expected her to eventually marry a man with the same high social status.

    The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was well aware that it is a person’s standing in the eyes of Allah that is important, rather than his or her status in the eyes of the people. He wanted her to marry a young man called Zayd ibn Harith, whose background was very different to that of Zaynab bint Jahsh. Zayd had been taken prisoner while he was still a child during one of the inter-tribal wars that had been common before the coming of Islam. He had been sold as a slave to a nephew of Khadijah (may Allah be pleased with her) who had given Zayd to her as a gift. In turn, Khadijah had given him to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in the days before the revelation of the Qur’an had begun, and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had given him his freedom and adopted him as his own son, at the age of eight.

    The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had watched both Zayd and Zaynab grow up, and thought they would make a good couple, and that their marriage would demonstrate that it was not who their ancestors were, but rather their standing in the sight of Allah, that mattered. When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked for her hand on behalf of Zayd, Zaynab had her family were shocked at the idea of her marrying a man who in their eyes was only a freed slave. Moreover, Zaynab had wanted to marry the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) himself and in fact he had already been asked by her family whether or not he would like to marry her. At first both she and her brother refused, but then the following ayat was revealed:

    It is not for a believing man or a believing woman, when a matter has been decided by Allah and His Messenger, to have any say in their decision; and whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger has most clearly gone astray. (Quran 33:36)

    When Zayd, who had also had misgivings about the proposed match, and Zaynab realized that there was no difference between what the Prophet wanted and what Allah wanted, they both agreed to the marriage, the Prophet providing a handsome dowry for Zaynab on Zayd’s behalf. The marriage, however, was not a success. Although both Zaynab and Zayd were the best of people, who loved Allah and His Messenger, they were very different and in the end they could not overcome their incompatibility. Zayd asked the Prophet’s permission to divorce Zaynab more than once, and although he was counseled to hold onto his wife and to fear Allah, in the end the divorce took place. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) then was ordered by Allah to marry Zaynab bint Jahsh, while he did in 5 AH, when he was fifty-eight years old, and she was thirty-five years old. In doing so, he demonstrated beyond doubt that in Islam an adopted son is not regarded in the same light as a natural son, and that although a father may never marry a woman whom his natural son has married and then divorced, the father of an adopted son is permitted to marry a woman who was once, but is no longer, married to that adopted son. Furthermore, by marrying Zaynab, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also confirmed that it is permissible for cousins to marry, and , at the same time, Zaynab was given her heart’s desire to be married to the Best of Creation.

    The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) received the command to marry Zaynab while he was with A’isha. After he had received the revelation, he smiled and said, “Who will go and give Zaynab the good news?” and he recited the ayat that he had received. Some say that it was Zayd himself who told her the good news. When Zaynab heard the news, she stopped what she was doing and prayed to thank Allah. Afterwards, she was fond of pointing out that her marriage had been arranged by Allah. It was at this point that the Prophet changed her name from Barra to Zaynab.

    Zaynab’s wedding feast was also the occasion for another ayat of Qur’an to be sent down. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) sacrificed a sheep and then commanded his servant, Anas, to invite the people to partake of it. After they had eaten, two men remained there after the meal chatting. The Messenger of Allah went out and said goodnight to his other wives and then came back and the two men were still there chatting. It was very hard on the Prophet who did not like to criticize people directly, and so he waited patiently until they left. Then Allah sent down the following ayat which is known as “The Ayat of Hijab”:

    O you who believe! Do not go into the Prophet’s rooms except after being given permission to come and eat, not waiting for the food to be prepared, However, when you are called, then go in and when you have eaten, then disperse, and do not remain wanting to chat together. If you do that, it causes injury to the Prophet though he is too reticent to tell you. But Allah is not reticent with the truth. When you ask his wives for something, ask them from behind a screen. That is purer for your hearts and their hearts. It is not for you to cause injury to the Messenger of Allah nor ever to marry his wives after him. TO do that would be something dreadful in the sight of Allah. Whether you make something known or conceal it, Allah has knowledge of all things. There is no blame on them regarding their fathers or their sons or their brothers or their brothers’ s sons or their sisters’ s sons or their women or those their right hands own. Have fear of Allah. Allah is witness over everything. Allah and His angels pray blessings of the Prophet. O you who believe! Pray blessings on him and ask for peace for him. (Quran 33:53-56)

    Zaynab was a woman who was constantly immersed in the worship of Allah. It is related by Anas ibn Malik that once the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) entered the mosque and found a rope hanging down between two of the pillars, and so he said, “What is this?” He was told, “It is for Zaynab. She prays, and when she loses concentration or feels tired, she holds onto it.” At this time the Prophet said, “Untie it. Pray as long as you feel fresh, but when you lose concentration or become tired, you should stop.”

    Zaynab bint Jahsh (may Allah be pleased with her) was with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) for six years, and lived for another nine years after his death, dying at the age of fifty, in 20 AH, and thus fulfilling the Prophet’s indication that she would be the first of his wives to die aftehim. Zaynab bint Jahsh, like Zaynab bint Khuzayma before her, was very generous to the poor, and indeed the Prophet said, when speaking of her to his other wives, “She is the most generous among you.”

    It has been related by A’isha that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) once said to his wives, “The one who has the longest hands among you will meet me again the soonest.” A’isha added, “They use to measure each other’s hands to see whose as longest, and it was the hand of Zaynab that was the longest, because she used to work by hand and give away (what she earned) in charity.” The Messenger of Allah said to Umar, “Zaynab bint Jahsh is one who is full of prayer.” A man said, “Messenger of Allah, what is that?” He said, “The one who is humble and earnest in prayer.” A’isha also said that Zaynab, “I have never seen a woman so pure as Zaynab, so God-fearing, so truthful, so attentive to family ties, so generous, so self-sacrificing in everyday life, so charitable, and thus so close to Allah, the Exalted.”

    Several years after the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had died, when Umar was the khalif, great wealth came to the Muslims as a result of their victories in fighting the Persians. The immense treasures of Chosroes, the Persian Emperor, fell into their hands, and when Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) sent Zaynab a pile of gold as her share of the treasure, she called her maid servant and told her to take a handful of it to so-and-so, naming one of the poor people of Medina. One after another, she named all the poor people whom she knew, until they had all received a share of the treasure. Then she told her maidservant to see what was left. All that remained of the large pile of gold was eighty dinars, and this she accepted as her share, thanking Allah for it; but, because she believed so much money was a temptation, she asked Allah that she would never witness such a large distribution of wealth again.

    By the time a year had passed, when Umar again came to distribute money amongst those wives of the Prophet who were still alive, her prayer had been granted for she had already passed away, may Allah be pleased with her.”

    and a verse in the quran confirm this:
    Surah 33. The Clans, The Coalition, The Combined Forces
    37. Behold! Thou didst say to one who had received the grace of Allah and thy favour: “Retain thou (in wedlock) thy wife, and fear Allah.” But thou didst hide in thy heart that which Allah was about to make manifest: thou didst fear the people, but it is more fitting that thou shouldst fear Allah. Then when Zaid had dissolved (his marriage) with her, with the necessary (formality), We joined her in marriage to thee: in order that (in future) there may be no difficulty to the Believers in (the matter of) marriage with the wives of their adopted sons, when the latter have dissolved with the necessary (formality) (their marriage) with them. And Allah.s command must be fulfilled.

    Islam does not prohibit adoption. Allah commanded that Muslims call their adopted sons by the name of their biological fathers and not their adopted fathers as was common in those days. This was done in order to preserve the true ancestry of adopted children. The Quran does not prohibit adoption by any means. So the marriage of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, to Zainab does set an example for Muslims and is relevant to this day.
    Please look into the explanation of Quranic verses and the context behind them before commenting on them. Ignorance only creates misunderstandings.

    I agree with this article whole heatedly. All I hear from the Muslims on this article that this never took place, or stop insulting our religion or Muhammad was the best. But nevertheless the history states that this event did occur. And it’s not a fabrication of the Jews or the Christians but coming from the Islamic sources. Instead of questioning the article, Muslims should questions the source it came from and try to dispute it. The fact of the matter is why did Muhammad lusted his adopted son’s wife in the first place? He is supposed to be the messenger of God is he not? If God intended it to be this way then what does it speak about the God of Islam who plays with people lives just to make an example? Why couldn’t Muhammad just tell people to be caring to their adoptive children? What kind of precedence is the messenger of God setting?

    what i have to say is that this story is partially true.
    and partially wrong.
    !st Zayd was the adoptive son of Mohammed (pbuh) and he had a wife called Zaynab who was found in that state not purposely.
    And him like any man whoever he maybe would have thought in his head, yh, she looks beautiful. Not one man on earth if he caught a gd looking woman almost scantly dressed would think otherwise.
    And Zayd would b upset, but an accident is an accident.
    And Zayd was not getting on well with his wife and wanted to divorce her.
    Mohammed SAID for him to keep her, don’t divorce her.
    Yet Allah had told him that he was going to marry her. As mohammeds Jobs was to end all questions related to halal and haram.
    Reason he told Zayd to keep her was so that he wouldn’t have to marry her. He was afraid people would say he is a hypochrit for saying not to marry your sons’ wives.
    Allah told Mohammed that he did wrong in fearing people, because fearing Allah is what is write.
    Don’t you people think that mohammed feared people just like you or me.
    But this was to show that the adoptive son is NOT your blood son.
    And if he divorced her, that they were halal to their their ADOPTIVE fathers.
    I no way his adoption disppermitted in Islam.
    On the fear topic, I am the only muslim in my area. I know what fear of being shunned and set apart is.
    It isn’t always just daisies doing what is right, it takes strong will in word as in deed.

    God is a loving God. He will not permit divorce and allow his prophets to marry somebody’s wife.
    One thing must be acceted, Prophet Muhammad was not exemplary prophet.
    However having said this, i must reiterate that Jesus, as mentioned in the koran, was sinless and perfect.

    The quran is miracilious book and is the only religious book that is never changed. Quran and science does not contracdict. There are things just confirmed by science now a days and were fortold in the quran more then 1400 years ago. So figure this out and lots of scientist also converted to Islam. DO not speak about prophet Muhammed without knowledge but what you are saying is nothing but lies. you ppl can go to the real ressources and will see the truth. Whatever you do, Prophet Muhammad will always be the best human being that ever walked on the face of this earth. You can always tell lies and try to bring ppl away from Islam. Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world. All these lies about islam and prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is actually causing ppl to learn about the real personality of our beloved prophet and messenger of God and they all convert to Islam. You can lie all you want but the truth will prevail and the proof you see it today. The more you plan against islam, the more ppl are coming to Islam. Lol and now who is the loser. You plan and God is the best planner. Read the book ” the most influencal person in history” and to no surprise Prophet Muhammad. And the book is written by a non muslim, Micheal Hart. So you can hate as much as you want and be jealous, the envy will only eat you.
    There is no God but Allah and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.
