“And (remember), when you (Muhammad) say to the person who has been given a favor by Allah and you (also) have given him a favor, “Keep your wife and fear Allah,” you are hiding in your heart what will be revealed by Allah, and you are afraid of humans, even though Allah has more right for you to fear. “ (QS 33:37)
