The meaning in the Almighty's saying: "So when Zayd had accomplished his purpose from her" is that Zayd had fulfilled his need and desire from her, meaning he separated from her and divorced her. So Allah married her to him. And "al-watar" means the need or the attainment of one's objective from it.
