Hasan (al-Basri) (may Allah have mercy on him) said concerning the saying of Allah Almighty: "Do not prevent the women who wish to marry their husbands." [Surah al-Baqarah: 232] that Sayyiduna Ma'qil bin Yasar (may Allah be pleased with him) told him that this verse was revealed concerning him. (He said:) I married my sister to a man, and he divorced her. When her waiting period ended, he proposed to her again. I said to him: I married you (to her) and honoured you, but you divorced her, and now you have come proposing to her again. By Allah! You will never go back to her. The narrator said: There was nothing wrong with the man, and the woman also wanted to return (to him). So Allah Almighty revealed this verse. I said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Now I have married her to him.
