Hadith 4579
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُقَاتِلٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَسْبَاطُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا الشَّيْبَانِيُّ ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، قَالَ الشَّيْبَانِيُّ : وَذَكَرَهُ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ السُّوَائِيُّ ، وَلَا أَظُنُّهُ ذَكَرَهُ إِلَّا ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، يَأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لا يَحِلُّ لَكُمْ أَنْ تَرِثُوا النِّسَاءَ كَرْهًا وَلا تَعْضُلُوهُنَّ لِتَذْهَبُوا بِبَعْضِ مَا آتَيْتُمُوهُنَّ سورة النساء آية 19 ، قَالَ : " كَانُوا إِذَا مَاتَ الرَّجُلُ ، كَانَ أَوْلِيَاؤُهُ أَحَقَّ بِامْرَأَتِهِ إِنْ شَاءَ بَعْضُهُمْ تَزَوَّجَهَا ، وَإِنْ شَاءُوا زَوَّجُوهَا ، وَإِنْ شَاءُوا لَمْ يُزَوِّجُوهَا ، فَهُمْ أَحَقُّ بِهَا مِنْ أَهْلِهَا ، فَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ فِي ذَلِكَ " .
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: regarding the Divine Verse: "O you who believe! You are forbidden to inherit women against their will, and you should not treat them with harshness that you may take back part of the (Mahr) dower you have given them." (4.19) (Before this revelation) if a man died, his relatives used to have the right to inherit his wife, and one of them could marry her if he would, or they would give her in marriage if they wished, or, if they wished, they would not give her in marriage at all, and they would be more entitled to dispose her, than her own relatives. So the above Verse was revealed in this connection.

حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَسْبَاطُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا الشَّيْبَانِيُّ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ فَيْرُوزٍ ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، قَالَ الشَّيْبَانِيُّ ،وَحَدَّثَنِي عَطَاءٌ أَبُو الحَسَنِ السُّوَائِيُّ ، وَلَا أَظُنُّهُ إِلَّا ذَكَرَهُ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا : يَأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لا يَحِلُّ لَكُمْ أَنْ تَرِثُوا النِّسَاءَ كَرْهًا سورة النساء آية 19 الْآيَةَ ، قَالَ : " كَانُوا إِذَا مَاتَ الرَّجُلُ كَانَ أَوْلِيَاؤُهُ أَحَقَّ بِامْرَأَتِهِ ، إِنْ شَاءَ بَعْضُهُمْ تَزَوَّجَهَا ، وَإِنْ شَاءُوا زَوَّجَهَا ، وَإِنْ شَاءُوا لَمْ يُزَوِّجْهَا ، فَهُمْ أَحَقُّ بِهَا مِنْ أَهْلِهَا ، فَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ فِي ذَلِكَ " .
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: Regarding the Qur'anic Verse: 'O you who believe! You are forbidden to inherit women against their will.' (4.19) The custom (in the Pre-lslamic Period) was that if a man died, his relatives used to have the right to inherit his wife, and if one of them wished, he could marry her, or they could marry her to somebody else, or prevent her from marrying if they wished, for they had more right to dispose of her than her own relatives. Therefore this Verse was revealed concerning this matter.
