Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 16991 — A man who holds the marriage contract

Al-Hasan was asked: If a man married a woman and divorced her before consummating the marriage, may that man's father marry the woman? He considered it disliked (makruh) and recited this verse of the Qur'an: "and the wives of your sons" [Al-Nisa: 23].
