The Prophet -saww kept her name a secret to himself and did not say anything fearing that the hypocrites might say that Muhammad -saww considers a married woman to be his own wife and one of the mothers of the believers. He -saww feared what the hypocrites might say. The Honourable the Exalted Allah -azwj said, ‘ and you concealed within yourself what Allah would be Manifesting, and you feared the people while Allah is more deserving that you fear Him (33:37) meaning in himself.
And the Honourable the Exalted Allah -azwj has not Taken charge of marrying off any of His -azwj creatures Himself except for the marriage of Eve with Adam, and Zaynab with Allah’s Prophet -saww as He -azwj said, ‘ … Then when Zayd had dissolved (his marriage) with her, with the necessary (formality), We joined her in marriage to you (33:37). ’ So did We -azwj Join (the Blessed Lady) Fatima -asws in marriage to Ali -asws .
The narrator added, ‘Then Ali ibn Muhammad ibn Al-Jahm cried and said, ‘O son of the Prophet of Allah -asws ! I turn to the Honourable the Exalted Allah -azwj in repentance and from now on will never say anything about the Prophets -as of Allah -azwj other that what you have mentioned.’ [28] APPENDIX II: Ahadith Summarising the Interpretation of Quran و قال علي بن إبراهيم: الآيات: أمير المؤمنين و الائمة (عليهم السلام)، و الدليل على ذلك قول أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام): «ما لله آية أكبر مني».
