Bayhaqi 15154 — Reports on the saying of Allah the Mighty
بَابُ مَا جَاءَ فِي قَوْلِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: {وَإِذَا طَلَّقْتُمُ النِّسَاءَ فَبَلَغْنَ أَجَلَهُنَّ فَأَمْسِكُوهُنَّ بِمَعْرُوفٍ أَوْ سَرِّحُوهُنَّ بِمَعْرُوفٍ وَلَا تُمْسِكُوهُنَّ ضِرَارًا} [البقرة: 231].
Chapter: What has come concerning this saying of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic: "And when you divorce women and they reach (near) their term, then retain them according to what is acceptable or release them according to what is acceptable, and do not retain them to harm them." [Surah al-Baqarah: 231]
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، نا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ الْأَصَمُّ، أَنَا الرَّبِيعُ، أَنَا الشَّافِعِيُّ فِي هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ قَالَ: إِذَا شَارَفْنَ بُلُوغَ أَجَلِهِنَّ فَرَاجِعُوهُنَّ بِمَعْرُوفٍ أَوْ دَعُوهُنَّ تَنْقَضِي عِدَّتُهُنَّ بِمَعْرُوفٍ وَنَهَاهُمْ أَنْ يُمْسِكُوهُنَّ ضِرَارًا لِيَعْتَدُوا فَلَا يَحِلُّ إِمْسَاكُهُنَّ ضِرَارًا.
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) says concerning this verse: When their term is close to completion, then take them back in a good manner or leave them so that their iddah is completed; and He has forbidden retaining them with the intention of causing harm, so no one should retain them for that purpose.
