Sayyiduna Ma'qil bin Yasar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: My sister was the wife of a certain man. He divorced her, and her waiting period ('iddah) passed. Then that man sent a proposal for marriage, and Sayyiduna Ma'qil (may Allah be pleased with him) became angry at this. He said: He left this woman even though he could have taken her back. Sayyiduna Ma'qil (may Allah be pleased with him) became an obstacle between the woman and her former husband, so Allah revealed this verse: "When you divorce women and they have fulfilled their waiting period, do not prevent them from remarrying."
