Hisham bin Urwah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from his father that Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said concerning this saying of Allah Almighty, "And if a woman fears from her husband ill-conduct or desertion" [Surah al-Nisa: 128]: This verse was revealed about a woman whose husband is not much attached to her, and he wants to divorce her and marry another woman, so she says: Do not divorce me; keep me with you, and you are free (of obligation) regarding maintenance and my turn. So Allah, the Lord of Might, said: "There is no blame on them if they make terms of settlement between them, and settlement is best." [Surah al-Nisa: 128]
