I had a sister who was being proposed to; and Ibrahim > Yunus > al-Ḥasan > Ma‘qil b. Yasar ˹said the same˺.
Abu Mamar > Abd al-Warith > Yunus > al-Ḥasan that the sister of Ma‘qil b. Yasār was divorced by her husband, and he left her until her waiting period ended. Then he proposed to her, but Ma‘qil refused. So the verse was revealed: “So do not prevent them from marrying their husbands.” (Baqarah 2:232)
كَانَتْ لِي أُخْتٌ تُخْطَبُ إِلَىَّ وَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ حَدَّثَنِي مَعْقِلُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ أَنَّ أُخْتَ مَعْقِلِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ طَلَّقَهَا زَوْجُهَا فَتَرَكَهَا حَتَّى انْقَضَتْ عِدَّتُهَا فَخَطَبَهَا فَأَبَى مَعْقِلٌ فَنَزَلَتْ ﴿فَلاَ تَعْضُلُوهُنَّ أَنْ يَنْكِحْنَ أَزْوَاجَهُنَّ﴾
