The Holy Quran 33:38 — Surah Al-Ahzab

Arabic text

مَّا كَانَ عَلَى ٱلنَّبِىِّ مِنْ حَرَجٍ فِيمَا فَرَضَ ٱللَّهُ لَهُۥ ۖ سُنَّةَ ٱللَّهِ فِى ٱلَّذِينَ خَلَوْا۟ مِن قَبْلُ ۚ وَكَانَ أَمْرُ ٱللَّهِ قَدَرًا مَّقْدُورًا

Translation

There is no sin on the Nabi ﷺ with regard to (doing) what Allaah has ordained (made permissible) for him (such as marrying more than four wives). Such was the practice of Allaah among those (Ambiyaa عَلَيْهِمُ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ) who passed before (whenever the Ambiyaa were allowed certain privileges for good reason, they would exercise their privilege without fear of reproach). Allaah's command is a decreed affair (and none has the right to object to His commands).

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

ما كان على النبيِّ محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم من ذنب فيما أحلَّ الله له من زواج امرأة مَن تبنَّاه بعد طلاقها، كما أباحه للأنبياء قبله، سنة الله في الذين خَلَوا من قبل، وكان أمر الله قدرًا مقدورًا لا بد من وقوعه.
