    Assalamualaikum

    What are the views of Javed Ahmad Ghamidi on the objections and interpretations of early mauffasarin and contemporary orientalists on the marriage of Prophet Muhammad S.A.W with Zaynab bint e Jahsh R.A (i.e Surah Ahzab 37)? these stories like Prophet saw her and fell in love with her and said “oh God You are pure,Oh manipulator of hearts” and so on.

    I have read the discussion,but can you tell about that story present in “history of Tabari vol.8(in english)” right in the start that Prophet S.A.W went to his home and saw her and said “Glory be to God the Almighty! Glory be to God, who causes hearts to turn!”.Academic research in its sanad(transmission chain)?

      And also in Surah Ahzab verse 37″you were at that time keeping hidden in your heart which Allah intended to reveal”,Amin Ahsan Islahi interpreted which Ghamidi sahab also prefered that”if Hazrat Zaid R.A would divorce her(Zaynab) then she would get much sorrow and then to console her Prophet S.A.W has to marry her”,like how did he get this(from some history or Seerah book),how does it make sense that marrying for consoling and if we take Maulana Maududi’s interpretation which (as i know)many others has interpreted the same which says that”Allah had hinted Prophet S.A.W. that when Zayd R.A would have divorced his wife then Prophet S.A.W has to marry her”,if we take this one then it means Prophet S.A.W was denying qadr(pre determination by Allah)?

    It is mentiond in Quran (33:50-52) where Prophet (sws) was allowed and encouraged to marry in order to console and sympathize with his maternal or paternal cousin sisters who had migrated with him from Makkah and left their houses and relatives merely to support and back him.

    For further details on the bakground of these verses, please refer to the video below from 17:25 to 29:45

    Dr. Shehzad Saleem has commented on this narration of Tabari in the following video and also this narration of Tabari goes against the way this incident is mentioned in Quran.
