Aisha once remarked, "It seems to me that your Lord hastens to satisfy your desire." Sahih Muslim vol.2 book 8 no.3453-3454 p.748-749.
Indeed. Mohammed was attracted to his step son's wife and told him:
"'Praise belongeth unto Allah who turneth the hearts of men as he willeth.'
"Zaid got the message (http://www.beholdthebeast.com/moral_life_of_prophet_mohammed.htm) and arranged to divorce his wife. Muhammad knew quite well that nothing short of a new "revelation" could save his face from this detestable act, so he dissuaded Zaid from putting his wife away until the transaction could be sanctioned by a "revelation" from Allah:
"Behold! thou didst say to one who had received the grace of God and thy Favor: 'retain thou [in wedlock] thy wife, and fear God.' But thou didst fear in thy heart that which God was about to make manifest: thou didst fear the people, but it is more fitting that thou shouldest fear God. Then when Zaid had dissolved [his marriage] with her, with the necessary [formality], we joined her in marriage to thee: in order that in [the future] there may be no difficulty to the believers in [the matter of] marriage with the wives of their adopted sons, when the later have dissolved with the necessary [formality] [their marriage] with them. And God's command must be fulfilled." (Sura 33:37)" - from Islam Reviewed (http://www.beholdthebeast.com/islam_reviewed_contents.htm)
This is one of the Koranic contradictions (http://www.answering-islam.org/Quran/Contra/qi033.html) since marriage to a step (http://www.islamicity.com/dialogue/Q18.HTM) daughter (http://www.islamicity.com/dialogue/Q20.HTM) or son is considered incest.
