What was the secret message that the Prophet (PBUH) confided in one his wives?

The secret message that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) confided in one of his wives was related to the situation involving Zaid ibn Haritha and Zaynab bint Jahsh. Zaid came to the Prophet with complaints about his marriage, and during this time, the Prophet advised him to "Fear Allah and control your spouse." This context led to a revelation concerning Zaynab, as emphasized by Anas, who stated, "If the Messenger of Allah had concealed anything, he would have concealed this."

Zaynab would boast over the other wives of the Prophet, saying, "The husbands you have are your own, while Allah married me from above the seven heavens." The verse, And you hide in your soul that which Allah will reveal and you fear people, was revealed regarding this situation Sahih al-Bukhari 97:48SunniSAHIH. This highlights the significance of the message and the divine knowledge that the Prophet received regarding his future with Zaynab.
