في الرجل: (يزوج)، أيشترط إمساكا بمعروف؟
A man giving a woman in marriage: does he stipulate that she be kept in kindness?
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 16784 — A man giving a woman in marriage
١٦٧٨٤ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: نا عيسى بن يونس عن الأوزاعي عن يحيى بن أبي كثير ﴿وَأَخَذْنَ مِنْكُمْ مِيثَاقًا غَلِيظًا﴾ قال: ﴿فَإِمْسَاكٌ بِمَعْرُوفٍ أَوْ تَسْرِيحٌ بِإِحْسَانٍ﴾.
Yahya bin Abi Kathir, explaining the verse of the Qur'an "And they have taken from you a solemn covenant" [Al-Nisa: 21], said: It refers to retaining in kindness (living with her in a good manner) or releasing with goodness (parting with her in a good way).
