Sa'id bin al-Musayyib (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The daughter of Muhammad bin Maslamah was married to Sayyiduna Rafi' bin Khadij (may Allah be pleased with him). He disliked her, either because of old age or for some other reason, and intended to divorce her. She said: Do not divorce me; keep me, and allot to me whatever you wish. Then the two of them came to a settlement, and this became an established sunnah, and this verse was revealed: "And if a woman fears from her husband ill-conduct or desertion" [Surah al-Nisa: 128].
