قَالَ اللهُ تَعَالَى: {وَإِذَا طَلَّقْتُمُ النِّسَاءَ فَبَلَغْنَ أَجَلَهُنَّ فَلَا تَعْضُلُوهُنَّ أَنْ يَنْكِحْنَ أَزْوَاجَهُنَّ} [البقرة: 232].
Allah Almighty says: "And when you divorce women and they reach the end of their waiting period, do not prevent them from marrying their (former) husbands." [Surah al-Baqarah: 232]
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَمْرٍو الْأَدِيبُ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْإِسْمَاعِيلِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الشَّرْقِيُّ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ، وَالْفَرَّاءُ يعنِي عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَقَطَنٌ، قَالُوا: ثنا حَفْصٌ، حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ طَهْمَانَ، عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: {فَلَا تَعْضُلُوهُنَّ أَنْ يَنْكِحْنَ أَزْوَاجَهُنَّ} [البقرة: ٢٣٢] الْآيَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي مَعْقِلُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ الْمُزَنِيُّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهَا نَزَلَتْ فِيهِ قَالَ: كُنْتُ زَوَّجْتُ أُخْتًا لِي مِنْ رَجُلٍ، فَطَلَّقَهَا حَتَّى إِذَا انْقَضَتْ عِدَّتُهَا جَاءَ يَخْطُبُهَا، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: زَوَّجْتُكَ وَفَرَشْتُكَ وَأَكْرَمْتُكَ، فَطَلَّقْتَهَا، ثُمَّ جِئْتَ تَخْطُبُهَا، لَا وَاللهِ لَا تَعُودُ إِلَيْهَا أَبَدًا، قَالَ: وَكَانَ رَجُلًا لَا بَأْسَ بِهِ، وَكَانَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَرْجِعَ إِلَيْهِ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ، فَقُلْتُ: الْآنَ أَفْعَلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَزَوَّجْتُهَا إِيَّاهُ " رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ حَفْصٍ.
Al-Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) said concerning the saying of Allah Almighty, "Do not prevent them from marrying their husbands" [Surah al-Baqarah: 232]: Ma'qil bin Yasar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated to me that this verse was revealed concerning him. (He said:) I married my sister to a man. He divorced her, until her waiting period ended. Then he came and proposed marriage to her again. I said to him: I married her to you, provided you with a bed and honoured you, and you divorced her; then you come proposing to her. By Allah! I will never marry her to you. He was a man in whom there was no harm, and the woman wanted to return to her husband, so Allah Almighty revealed this verse: "And when you divorce women and they reach the end of their waiting period, do not prevent them" [Surah al-Baqarah: 232]. So I said: O Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Now I will marry her (to him), and I married her (to him).
