But you did hide in yourself ( i.e. what Allah has already made known to you that He will give her to you in marriage ) that which Allah will make manifest , you did fear the people ( i.e. , Muhammad SAW married the divorced wife of his manumitted slave ) whereas Allah had a better right that you should fear Him . So when Zaid had accomplished his desire from her ( i.e. divorced her ) , We gave her to you in marriage , so that ( in future ) there may be no difficulty to the believers in respect of ( the marriage of ) the wives of their adopted sons when the latter have no desire to keep them ( i.e. they have divorced them ) .
