وَاِذْ تَقُولُ لِلَّـذ۪ٓي اَنْعَمَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِ اَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ زَوْجَكَ وَاتَّقِ اللّٰهَ وَتُخْف۪ي ف۪ي نَفْسِكَ مَا اللّٰهُ مُبْد۪يهِ وَتَخْشَى النَّاسَۚ وَاللّٰهُ اَحَقُّ اَنْ تَخْشٰيهُۜ فَلَمَّا قَضٰى زَيْدٌ مِنْهَا وَطَراً زَوَّجْنَاكَهَا لِكَيْ لَا يَكُونَ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِن۪ينَ حَرَجٌ ف۪ٓي اَزْوَاجِ اَدْعِيَٓائِهِمْ اِذَا قَضَوْا مِنْهُنَّ وَطَراًۜ وَكَانَ اَمْرُ اللّٰهِ مَفْعُولاً

And when thou saidst to him whom God has favoured, and whom thou hast favoured: “Hold thou thy wife to thee, and be thou in prudent fear of God,” and wast concealing in thyself what God reveals[...]. And thou fearedst men, when God has more right that thou fear Him. Then when Zayd had concluded any need of her, We gave her to thee in marriage, that there be not blame upon the believers concerning the wives of their adopted sons, when they have concluded any need of them. And the command of God is carried out.
