[Machine] When Abu Qays bin Al-Aslat died, his son Qays proposed to his father's wife. She went to the Messenger of Allah, may ﷺ , and said, "O Messenger of Allah, Abu Qays has passed away, and his son Qays, one of the best young men, has proposed to me. I told him that I would only marry him if he had a child, and I am not someone who can surpass the Messenger of Allah in any way." The Messenger of Allah remained silent. Then, the verse was revealed, "And do not marry those [women] whom your fathers married..." (Quran 4:22). This is a direct revelation and its meaning has been mentioned by more than one scholar of interpretation.  

لَمَّا مَاتَ أَبُو قَيْسِ بْنُ الْأَسْلَتِ خَطَبَ ابْنُهُ قَيْسٌ امْرَأَةَ أَبِيهِ فَانْطَلَقَتْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ أَبَا قَيْسٍ قَدْ هَلَكَ وَإِنَّ ابْنَهُ قَيْسٌ مِنْ خِيَارِ الْحِيِّ قَدْ خَطَبَنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي فَقُلْتُ لَهُ مَا كُنْتُ أَعُدُّكَ إِلَّا وَلَدًا وَمَا أَنَا بِالَّتِي أَسْبِقُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بِشَيْءٍ قَالَ فَسَكَتَ عَنْهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {وَلَا تَنْكِحُوا مَا نَكَحَ آبَاؤُكُمْ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ } [النساء 22] هَذَا مُرْسَلٌ وَبِمَعْنَاهُ ذَكَرَهُ غَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ التَّفْسِيرِ
