Wie Mohammed Zainab heiratete

Die Ehe mit Zainab bint Dschahsch war mehr als ungewöhnlich. Sie war die Frau seines Adoptivsohnes. Einmal war Mohammed zu Besuch, und sein Sohn war nicht dabei. Er begehrte sie, nachdem er sie leicht bekleidet zu Gesicht bekommen hatte.Zainab liess sich von Mohammeds Sohn scheiden, damit Mohammed sie heiraten konnte. Weil dies nach damaligem Gesetz als Inzest galt, schlugen die Wellen der Empörung hoch, und so bedurfte es einer "göttlichen Offenbarung" zur Rechtfertigung Mohammeds:


Koran 33:4-5

Allah hat keinem Manne zwei Herzen in seinem Innern gegeben, noch hat Er jene unter euren Frauen, die ihr Mütter nennt, zu euren Müttern gemacht, noch hat Er eure angenommenen Söhne zu euren Söhnen gemacht. Das ist Gerede aus euren Mündern; Allah aber spricht die Wahrheit, und Er zeigt den Weg. Nennt sie nach ihren Vätern. Das ist billiger vor Allah. Wenn ihr jedoch ihre Väter nicht kennt, so sind sie eure Brüder im Glauben und eure Freunde. Und was ihr versehentlich darin gefehlt habt, das ist euch keine Sünde, sondern nur das, was eure Herzen vorsätzlich tun. Und Allah ist allverzeihend, barmherzig.


Koran 33:37

Und (gedenke der Zeit) da du zu dem sprachst, dem Allah Gnade erwiesen hatte und dem (auch) du Gnade erwiesen hattest: "Behalte deine Frau für dich und fürchte Allah." Und du verbargest in deiner Seele, was Allah ans Licht bringen wollte, und du fürchtetest die Menschen, während Allah mehr verdient, daß du Ihn fürchtest. Dann aber, als Zaid tat, was er mit ihr zu tun wünschte, verbanden Wir sie ehelich mit dir, damit für die Gläubigen keine Beunruhigung bestünde in bezug auf die Frauen ihrer angenommenen Söhne, wenn sie ihren Wunsch ausgeführt haben. Allahs Ratschluß muß vollzogen werden.


Ein sehr wichtiger Auszug: "Und du verbargest in deiner Seele, was Allah ans Licht bringen wollte". Mohammed verbarg die Lust, eine verheiratete Frau zu heiraten. Bevor Zayd und Zaina geschieden waren, war dieser Wunsch schon in Mohammeds Kopf entstanden worden. Ibn Kathir berichtet, dass Aicha zu diesem Vers gesagt hat: "Wenn Allahs Gesandte einen Teil der Offenbarung verbergen sollte, hätte er das verborgen". Und natürlich ist die Sache sehr gut gedacht: Mohammed erfindet einen Vers, in dem er von Allah zurückgewiesen wird, um zu "beweisen", dass der Vers tatsächlich von Allah kommt.



Andere islamische Quellen zu diesem Ereignis (Hadiths, Tafsirs, auf englisch):


Narrated Anas:
Zaid bin Haritha came to the Prophet complaining about his wife. The Prophet kept on saying (to him), "Be afraid of Allah and keep your wife." Aisha said, "If Allah’s Apostle were to conceal anything (of the Quran) he would have concealed this Verse." Zainab used to boast before the wives of the Prophet and used to say, "You were given in marriage by your families, while I was married (to the Prophet) by Allah from over seven Heavens." And Thabit recited, "The Verse:-- ‘But (O Muhammad) you did hide in your heart that which Allah was about to make manifest, you did fear the people,' (33.37) was revealed in connection with Zainab and Zaid bin Haritha." (Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 9, Book 93, Number 516)

Wie wir weiter sehen werden, der Grund, warum Zayd sich über seine Frau beklakte war, dass sie anfing, ihn zu geringsschätzen, seitdem sie Mohammed ihre Schönheit hatte preisen hören. Dieser andere Hadith ist eher interessant:

Anas (Allah be pleased with him) reported: When the ‘Iddah of Zainab was over, Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) said to Zaid to make a mention to her about him. Zaid went on until he came to her and she was fermenting her flour. He (Zaid) said: As I saw her I felt in my heart an idea of her greatness so much so that I could not see towards her (simply for the fact) that Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) had made a mention of her. So I turned my back towards her, and I turned upon my heels, and said: Zainab, Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) has sent (me) with a message to you. She said: I do not do anything until I solicit the will of my Lord. So she stood at her place of worship and the (verse of) the Qur’an (pertaining to her marriage) was revealed, and Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) came to her without permission… (Sahih Muslim, Book 008, Number 3330)

Nach diesem Text ist der koranische Vers über Mohammed und Zainab erst nachdem Mohammed Zainab gefreit hatte, "offenbart" worden. Dies bestätigt die Meinung, dass Mohammed eine Berechtigung suchte, um die geschiedene Frau seines Adoptivsohnes zu heiraten, und dass er Zainab zu überzeugen brauchte, dass sie Gottes Willen erfüllte, in dem sie sich von Mohammed heiraten liess. Dieser Hadith beweist, dass Mohammed Zainab heiraten wollte, bevor der Vers, der die Art von Ehe erlaubte, geschrieben wurde.


Tabari:


The Messenger of God came to the house of Zayd b. Harithah. (Zayd was always called Zayd b. Muhammad.) Perhaps the Messenger of God missed him at that moment, so as to ask, "Where is Zayd?" He came to his residence to look for him but did not find him. Zaynab bt. Jash, Zayd’s wife, rose to meet him. Because she was dressed only in a shift, the Messenger of God turned away from her. She said: "He is not here, Messenger of God. Come in, you who are as dear to me as my father and mother!" The Messenger of God refused to enter. Zaynab had dressed in haste when she was told "the Messenger of God is at the door." She jumped up in haste and excited the admiration of the Messenger of God, so that he turned away murmuring something that could scarcely be understood. However, he did say overtly: "Glory be to God the Almighty! Glory be to God, who causes the hearts to turn!"

When Zayd came home, his wife told him that the Messenger of God had come to his house. Zayd said, "Why didn't you ask him to come in?" He replied, "I asked him, but he refused." "Did you hear him say anything?" he asked. She replied, "As he turned away, I heard him say: ‘Glory be to God the Almighty! Glory be to God, who causes hearts to turn!’"

So Zayd left, and having come to the Messenger of God, he said: "Messenger of God, I have heard that you came to my house. Why didn’t you go in, you who are as dear to me as my father and mother? Messenger of God, perhaps Zaynab has excited your admiration, and so I will separate myself from her." Zayd could find no possible way to [approach] her after that day. He would come to the Messenger of God and tell him so, but the Messenger of God would say to him, "Keep your wife." Zayd separated from her and left her, and she became free.

While the Messenger of God was talking with 'A'isha, a fainting overcame him. When he was released from it, he smiled and said, "Who will go to Zaynab to tell her the good news, saying that God has married her to me?" Then the Messenger of God recited: "And when you said unto him on whom God has conferred favor and you have conferred favor, ‘Keep your wife to yourself .’"- and the entire passage.

because of what we heard about her beauty and another thing, the greatest and loftiest of matters - what God had done for her by giving her in marriage. I said she would boast of it over us."

Der folgende Auszug ist die Übersetzung zum Kommentar von Tabari zum 37. Vers der 33. Sure:

THOUGH THE PROPHET DESIRED THAT THEY SEPARATE SO THAT HE COULD MARRY HER...

When Zainab realized that the prophet desired her SHE BEGAN TO HATE ZAID.

For the prophet was concealing the fact that he would marry Zainab when Zaid had divorced her. (Source; translated by Dimitrius)




Kommentare des berühmten Muslims und Kommentators al-Qurtubi:

who then understood (what he had to do). Zaid said to the prophet, "O prophet of Allah, allow me to divorce her, for she has become arrogant; seeing herself superior to me and she insults me with her tongue."

HE DESIRED HER and it delighted Zainab to be desired by the prophet – pbuh. When Zaid returned home, she informed him of what had happened and Zaid was thus determined to divorce her. (Source; translated by Dimitrius)




Al-Qurtubi hat eine Liste von "Segnen" und Privilegen, die nur Mohammed hatte, sie enthält das Recht, die Frau eines anderen Mannes zu nehmen, wenn er Lust hat:

Nikah) her; this only for thee, and not for the Believers (at large).

As for what was granted and made lawful (by Allah) to the prophet –pbuh– they are 16 issues:-

First: To be fair with the spoils.
Second: To (forcefully) take a fifth of a fifth or just a fifth (of the spoils of war).
Third: "Al Wisal" (Dimitrius- the fast or fasting. This usually refers to fasting or abstaining from food.)
Fourth: To take more than four women.
Fifth: To marry, "Yas-tan-kih" (or have intercourse), with a woman who verbally pronounces her dedication (to the prophet).
Sixth: To marry, "Yas-tan-kih," without the presence (or permission) of a legal guardian.
Seventh: To marry, "Yas-tan-kih," without a dowry.
Eighth: To marry (and have intercourse) during a state of ritual consecration and purification.
Ninth: The annulment of an oath he may make to his wives.
Tenth: If Muhammad looks at a woman (and desires her) THEN IT IS NECESSARY FOR HER HUSBAND TO DIVORCE HER AND FOR MUHAMMAD TO MARRY HER. Ibn Al A’raby said, "This is what the servant of the two holy mosques has also said, as was clear to the scholars FROM THE STORY OF ZAID which also had this meaning."
Eleventh: That the prophet released Safiyyah (from her captured status) and he considered her release as her dowry.
Twelfth: To enter Mecca without being in a state of ritual purification.
Thirteenth: To fight in Mecca.
Fourteenth: That he is not inherited by anyone at all. This was mentioned in the oath of absolution for when a man approaches death due to illness, most of his possessions are taken away, so that he does not have more than a third left for him. But the possessions of the prophet remained for him, as is evidenced in the verse of inheritance and in Surat Mariam.
Fifteenth: His marriage is still considered effective after his death.
Sixteenth: If he divorces a woman she remains prohibited to everyone and may not be married, "Nikah," to someone else.




Der Tafsir al-Jalalayn sagt zu den Versen 36 und 37 der Sure 33 aus:

takuna or yakuna) a choice in their matter, in contravention of the decision of God and His Messenger. This [verse] was revealed regarding 'Abd Allah b. Jahsh and his sister Zaynab, whose hand the Prophet had asked for in marriage, but meaning on behalf of Zayd b. Haritha. They were loathe to this [proposal] when they found out [that it was on the latter's behalf], for they had thought that the Prophet (s) wanted to marry her himself. But afterwards they consented because of the [following part of the] verse: And whoever disobeys God and His Messenger has certainly strayed into manifest error. Thus the Prophet (s) gave her in marriage to Zayd. Then on one occasion he [the Prophet] caught sight of her and felt love for her, whereafter [when he realised that] Zayd lost his affection for her and so said to the Prophet (s), 'I want to part with her'. But the Prophet said to him, 'Retain your wife for yourself', as God, exalted be He, says: (Source)

idh is dependent because of [an implied preceding] udhkur, 'mention [when]') you said to him to whom God had shown favour, by [guiding him to] Islam, and to whom you [too] had shown favour: by manumitting him - this was Zayd b. Haritha, who had been a prisoner of war before [the coming of] Islam (al-jahiliyya). The Messenger of God (s) purchased him before his call to prophethood, and then manumitted him and adopted him as his son - 'Retain your wife for yourself and fear God', before divorcing her. But you had hidden in your heart what God was to disclose, [what] He was to manifest of your love for her and of [the fact] that should Zayd part with her you would marry her, and you feared people, would say, ‘He has married his son’s wife!’, though God is worthier that you should fear Him, in all things, so take her in marriage and do not be concerned with what people say. Zayd subsequently divorced her and her [obligatory] waiting period was completed. God, exalted be He, says: So when Zayd had fulfilled whatever need he had of her, We joined her in marriage to you - the Prophet consummated his marriage with her without [the customary] permission [from her legal guardian] and gratified the Muslims with [a feast of] bread and meat - so that there may not be any restriction for the believers in respect of the wives of their adopted sons, when the latter have fulfilled whatever wish they have of them. And God's commandment, that which He has decreed, is bound to be realised. (Source)




Ein Kommentar von Ibn Abbas:

(And when thou saidst unto him on whom Allah hath conferred favour) through Islam, i.e. Zayd (and thou hast conferred favour) on him by emancipating him: (Keep thy wife to thyself) and do not divorce her, (and fear Allah) and fear Allah and do not let her go. (And thou didst hide in your mind) her love and the desire to marry her (that which Allah was to bring to light) in the Qur’an, (and thou didst fear mankind) and you feel ashamed of people because of this (whereas Allah had a better right that thou shouldst fear Him) whereas you should be ashamed of Allah. (So when Zayd had performed the necessary formality (of divorce) from her) when she has finished her waiting period after her divorce from Zayd, (We gave her unto thee in marriage, so that (henceforth)) after you (there may be no sin for believers about wives of their adopted sons, when the latter have performed the necessary formality (of release) from them) when they had finished their waiting period after they are divorced or after the death of their husband. (The commandment of Allah) marrying Zayd to Muhammad (pbuh) (must be fulfilled) must take place. (Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs; online edition; bold and underline emphasis ours)




Kommentar von Al-Zamakhshari zu diesem Thema:

Keep thy wife to thyself: that is, Zainab bint Jahsh. After having given her to Zaid ibn Haritha as a wife, the Messenger of God once caught sight of her, and she made an impression of him. At this sight he said: ‘Praise be to God who changes the heart!’ Previously his soul had turned away from her so that he had not desired her (as a wife). If he had desired her at that time, he would have asked her for her hand in marriage. Now Zainab heard of this praise and mentioned it to (her husband) Zaid, who understood and to whom God gave antipathy against her and aversion to intimacy with her. So Zaid said to the Messenger of God: ‘I might divorce my wife’; to which the latter replied: ‘What is it? Has something filled you with mistrust against her?’ Zaid answered: ‘By God, no! I have observed only good in her; yet her noble rank places her too high above me and causes me to feel hurt.’ Thereupon the Messenger of God said: ‘Keep thy wife to thyself and fear God.’ But Zaid (nevertheless) separated from her, and as soon as the waiting period (during which the wife may enter into no new marriage) had elapsed, the Messenger of God had said (to Zaid): ‘I have no one whom I trust more than you; therefore, seek the hand of Zainab for me!’

Zaid reported: I went forth and there I suddenly found her just as she was leavening some dough. As soon as I saw her she made such an impression on me, since I knew that the Messenger of God had been speaking of her

the fact that he was devoted to her in his heart. Others say: the wish that Zaid might separate from her. Still others say: his knowledge that Zaid would separate from her and that he would marry her, for God had already given this knowledge to him
