(It should be well understood that, although the decisions are pronounced by the Prophet, in reality the obedience is that of the divine system. However this does not mean disobedience to the prophet - 3/78 - as you have the right to differ or disagree with the personal suggestions of the Prophet or his advice. This is no way would mean the disobedience to Allah and his Prophet. In this connection the episode of Zaid set forth an explicit example.)
He (Zaid) was a person upon whom Allah had conferred grace, and (O' Prophet) you too had extended personal favors. It was to him that you were advising, Keep your wife in wedlock and in this way maintain a relationship which has been established according to the divine law. (tolerate any petty differences you may have, and there is something serious, then speak about it openly as hiding it will be of no use). If you hide it in your heart, it will have to be explained later (At the time of divorce) as per the requirement of divine law. So not have fear about people (as to what they would say) for you have to only fear Allah (insuring that his law are not violated).
Zaid did not accept your advice and after he divorced his wife, you married her according to the divine law. Earlier we had revealed clear verses that an adopted son does not become a real one (33/4). Marrying the wife of a real son is not permitted (4/23). However there is no blame in marrying the divorced wife of an adopted son, and therefore this action of the Prophet was in accordance with the divine laws.
(This episode clearly brings out two issues. Firstly, only the decision of the Prophet which are binding are those which he makes in his capacity as Allah's Prophet as such, one can differ with his personal advice. Secondly, adopted son do not become real sons). 33/37 Quran.
