The Marriage of Zainab bint Jahsh

SUMMARY: This hadith is about Zainab bint Jahsh, who was married to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). She used to boast to the other wives of the Prophet that Allah had married her from above the Seven Heavens.

Narrated Anas: "When this Ayah was revealed about Zainab bint Jahsh: 'So when Zaid had completed his aim with her, We gave her to you in marriage (33:37)' - he said: "She used to boast to the wives of the Prophet : 'Your families married you (to him) while Allah married me (to him) from above the Seven Heavens'."
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ فِي زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ ‏:‏ ‏(‏فلَمَّا قَضَى زَيْدٌ مِنْهَا وَطَرًا زَوَّجْنَاكَهَا ‏)‏ قَالَ فَكَانَتْ تَفْتَخِرُ عَلَى أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ تَقُولُ زَوَّجَكُنَّ أَهْلُكُنَّ وَزَوَّجَنِي اللَّهُ مِنْ فَوْقِ سَبْعِ سَمَوَاتٍ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ

QUICK LESSONS:
Be humble and grateful for your blessings

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about a woman named Zainab bint Jahsh who was married to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. It is said that she used to boast about her marriage with the Prophet ﷺ by saying that while other wives were married by their families, she was married by Allah from above the seven heavens. This shows us how important it is for us not to be proud and boastful of our achievements or blessings as it can lead us away from humility and piety. We should always remember that all our blessings come from Allah and we should be grateful for them instead of boasting about them.
