concerning the Verse: 'Do not prevent them' (2.232) Ma'qil bin Yasar told me that it was revealed in his connection. He said, "I married my sister to a man and he divorced her, and when her days of 'Idda (three menstrual periods) were over, the man came again and asked for her hand, but I said to him, 'I married her to you and made her your bed (your wife) and favored you with her, but you divorced her. Now you come to ask for her hand again? No, by Allah, she will never go back to you (again)!' That man was not a bad man and his wife wanted to go back to him. So Allah revealed this Verse: 'Do not prevent them.' (2.232) So I said, 'Now I will do it (let her go back to him), O Messenger of Allah ﷺ."So he married her to him again.  

زَوَّجْتُ أُخْتًا لِي مِنْ رَجُلٍ فَطَلَّقَهَا حَتَّى إِذَا انْقَضَتْ عِدَّتُهَا جَاءَ يَخْطُبُهَا فَقُلْتُ لَهُ زَوَّجْتُكَ وَفَرَشْتُكَ وَأَكْرَمْتُكَ فَطَلَّقْتَهَا ثُمَّ جِئْتَ تَخْطُبُهَا لاَ وَاللَّهِ لاَ تَعُودُ إِلَيْكَ أَبَدًا وَكَانَ رَجُلاً لاَ بَأْسَ بِهِ وَكَانَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ تُرِيدُ أَنَّ تَرْجِعَ إِلَيْهِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ هَذِهِ الآيَةَ {فَلاَ تَعْضُلُوهُنَّ} فَقُلْتُ الآنَ أَفْعَلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ فَزَوَّجَهَا إِيَّاهُ  

[Machine] About the statement of Allah ﷻ, "So do not prevent them from marrying their [former] husbands if they agree among themselves on an acceptable basis" (Quran 2:232), Al-Hasan said, “Ma’qil ibn Yasar informed me that it was revealed concerning him. He said, ‘I married a woman off to a man, and he divorced her, then left her until her waiting period had ended. He proposed to her, and I said to him, ‘I married her to you, provided you took care of her and treated her kindly, and then you divorced her. Now you come to propose to her?’ By Allah, she will never return to you.’ He was a good man, and she wanted to go back to him. So Allah revealed this verse, and then I said, ‘Now I will do it, O Messenger of Allah. I will marry her to him.’”  

عَنِ الْحَسَنِ فِي قَوْلِ اللهِ ﷻ {فَلَا تَعْضُلُوهُنَّ أَنْ يَنْكِحْنَ أَزْوَاجَهُنَّ إِذَا تَرَاضَوْا بَيْنَهُمْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ} قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَعْقِلُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ أَنَّهَا فِيهِ نَزَلَتْ قَالَ زَوَّجْتُ أُخْتًا لِي مِنْ رَجُلٍ فَطَلَّقَهَا ثُمَّ تَرَكَهَا حَتَّى إِذَا انْقَضَتْ عِدَّتُهَا خَطَبَهَا فَقُلْتُ زَوَّجْتُكَ وَفَرَشْتُكَ وَأَكْرَمْتُكَ فَطَلَّقْتَهَا ثُمَّ جِئْتَ تَخْطُبُهَا؟ لَا وَاللهِ لَا تَعُودُ إِلَيْكَ أَبَدًا وَكَانَ رَجُلًا لَا بَأْسَ بِهِ وَكَانَتْ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَرْجِعَ إِلَيْهِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ فَقُلْتُ «الْآنَ أَفْعَلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَزَوَّجْتُهَا إِيَّاهُ»
