summary: Sale's notes recount Zeid's capture, manumission, adoption by Mohammed
at the black stone of the Caaba, his marriage to Zeinab, and the later divorce
and marriage of Zeinab to Mohammed. The translated Qur'anic passage identifies
Mohammed as the apostle of God and seal of the prophets, exhorts believers to
remember God, describes God and angels leading believers from darkness into light,
promises peace and recompense at meeting God, assigns prophetic roles, warns against
unbelievers and hypocrites, and sets out divorce and marriage permissions, including
privileges specific to the prophet.

God with peace and an honourable recompense prepared for them.

judgment scene.

basis: The passage says God and angels act for believers so that God may lead them
forth from darkness into light.
evidence_refs:

guidance imagery, not an explicit wisdom personification.

inviter unto God, and shining light.

cautions: No available taxonomy family exactly matches prophetic commission in this
list.

the prophet's marriage permissions with revelation and divine authorization.

confidence: low
cautions: This is a legal and exegetical marriage passage, not necessarily a mythic
sacred-marriage pattern; taxonomy assignment needs human review.
