كتاب النكاح

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 16787 — A man giving a woman in marriage
١٦٧٨٧ - حدثنا يحيى بن يمان عن سفيان عن (حبيب) (١) عن ابن (عباس) (٢): ﴿وَأَخَذْنَ مِنْكُمْ مِيثَاقًا غَلِيظًا﴾، قال: ﴿فَإِمْسَاكٌ بِمَعْرُوفٍ أَوْ تَسْرِيحٌ بِإِحْسَانٍ﴾ (٣).
Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), 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).
