Hadith 1613

Hadith.4810 - In the narration of Abu al-Sabbah al-Kinani:
"Zaynab said to the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family):
'You (sw) are not just, and You (sw) are the Messenger of Allah (swt)!'
And Hafsa said: 'If He (sw) divorces us, we will find suitable husbands among our people from Quraysh.'
Then, the divine revelation was withheld from the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) for twenty-nine days.
Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, was displeased for His (swt) beloved Messenger (sw), so Allah (swt) revealed:
'O Prophet! Say to your wives: If you desire the life of this world and its adornment, then come, I will provide for you and release you in a gracious manner. But if you desire Allah (swt), His Messenger, and the Hereafter, then indeed Allah (swt) has prepared for the good-doers among you a great reward' (Surah Al-Ahzab 33:28-29).
They chose Allah (swt) and His Messenger (sw), so divorce did not occur. But if they had chosen themselves, they would have been separated."
4810 - وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي اَلصَّبَّاحِ اَلْكِنَانِيِّ : "أَنَّ زَيْنَبَ قَالَتْ لِرَسُولِ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ لاَ تَعْدِلُ وَ أَنْتَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ وَ قَالَتْ حَفْصَةُ إِنْ طَلَّقَنَا وَجَدْنَا فِي قَوْمِنَا أَكْفَاءَنَا مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ فَاحْتَبَسَ اَلْوَحْيُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ تِسْعَةً وَ عِشْرِينَ يَوْماً فَأَنِفَ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لِرَسُولِهِ فَأَنْزَلَ اَللَّهُ:
يٰا أَيُّهَا اَلنَّبِيُّ قُلْ لِأَزْوٰاجِكَ إِنْ كُنْتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ اَلْحَيٰاةَ اَلدُّنْيٰا وَ زِينَتَهٰا
إِلَى قَوْلِهِ "أَجْراً عَظِيماً" فَاخْتَرْنَ اَللَّهَ وَ رَسُولَهُ فَلَمْ يَقَعِ اَلطَّلاَقُ وَ لَوِ اِخْتَرْنَ أَنْفُسَهُنَّ لَبِنَّ".
