[Machine] To return her, but if he prevents her, a place of refuge has been set up for her. And Allah the Exalted says, "And when you divorce women and they have fulfilled their term, do not prevent them from remarrying their [former] husbands if they agree among themselves on an acceptable basis." [Al-Baqarah 2:232]

أَنْ يُرَاجِعَهَا فَمَنَعَهَا مَعْقِلٌ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى {وَإِذَا طَلَّقْتُمُ النِّسَاءَ فَبَلَغْنَ أَجَلَهُنَّ فَلَا تَعْضُلُوهُنَّ أَنْ يَنْكِحْنَ أَزْوَاجَهُنَّ إِذَا تَرَاضَوْا بَيْنَهُمْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ} [البقرة 232]

Collected by Qurʾān, Ibn Ḥibbān, Ṭabarānī
quran:2:232 –

And when you divorce women and they have fulfilled their term, do not prevent them from remarrying their ˹former˺ husbands if they agree among themselves on an acceptable basis. That is instructed to whoever of you believes in Allah and the Last Day. That is better for you and purer, and Allah knows and you know not.  

When you divorce women, and they have reached, completed, their term, of waiting, do not debar them — addressing the guardians here — from marrying their, divorced, husbands when they, the male spouses and their women, have agreed together honourably, in accordance with the Law. The occasion for the revelation ˹of this verse˺ was: Ma‘qil b. Yasār’s sister was divorced by her husband, who then wanted to restore her, but Ma‘qil refused, as reported by al-Hākim. That, the prohibition against debarring, is an admonition for whoever of you believe in God and the Last Day, because it is for the benefit of such a person; that, refraining from debarring, is purer for you, better, and cleaner, for you and for them, bearing in mind the suspicion that can be aroused by the couple on account of prior intimacy. God knows, what is in your interest, and you know not, any of this, so follow His commands.
القرآن:٢:٢٣٢ –

وَإِذَا طَلَّقْتُمُ النِّسَاءَ فَبَلَغْنَ أَجَلَهُنَّ فَلَا تَعْضُلُوهُنَّ أَنْ يَنْكِحْنَ أَزْوَاجَهُنَّ إِذَا تَرَاضَوْا بَيْنَهُمْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ ۗ ذَٰلِكَ يُوعَظُ بِهِ مَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ ۗ ذَٰلِكُمْ أَزْكَىٰ لَكُمْ وَأَطْهَرُ ۗ وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ وَأَنْتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ  

{وإذا طلقتم النساء فبلغن أجلهن} انقضت عدتهن {فلا تعضلوهن} خطاب للأولياء أي تمنعوهن من {أن ينكحن أزواجهن} المطلقين لهن لأن سبب نزولها أن أخت معقل بن يسار طلقها زوجها فأراد أن يراجعها فمنعها معقل بن يسار كما رواه الحاكم {إذا تراضوا} أي الأزواج والنساء {بينهم بالمعروف} شرعا {ذلك} النهي عن العضل {يوعظ به من كان منكم يؤمن بالله واليوم الآخر} لأنه المنتفع به {ذلكم} أي ترك العضل {أزكى} خير {لكم وأطهر} لكم ولهم لما يُخشى على الزوجين من الريبة بسبب العلاقة بينهما {والله يعلم} ما فيه المصلحة {وأنتم لا تعلمون} ذلك فاتَّبعوا أوامره.

[Machine] His sister was under a man, then he divorced her and kept away from her until her waiting period expired. Then he approached to propose to her, but a fortification prevented him from it, and he said, "He kept away from her while he was able to marry her." So, something happened between him and her, and Allah revealed (And when you divorce women and they have fulfilled their term, do not prevent them from remarrying their [former] husbands if they agree among themselves on an acceptable basis) [Quran 2:232].  

ابن حبّان:٤٠٧١ – أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ خُزَيْمَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ مَعْقِلِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ قَالَ

كَانَتْ أُخْتُهُ تَحْتَ رَجُلٍ فَطَلَّقَهَا ثُمَّ خَلَّى عَنْهَا حَتَّى انْقَضَتْ عِدَّتُهَا ثُمَّ قَرَّبَ يَخْطُبُهَا فَحَمِيَ مَعْقِلٌ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَقَالَ خَلَّى عَنْهَا وَهُوَ يَقْدِرُ عَلَيْهَا فَحَالَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهَا فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ {وَإِذَا طَلَّقْتُمِ النِّسَاءَ فَبَلَغْنَ أَجَلَهُنَّ فَلَا تَعْضُلُوهُنَّ أَنْ يَنْكِحْنَ أَزْوَاجَهُنَّ إِذَا تَرَاضَوْا بَيْنَهُمْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ}

[Machine] "That he should take her back, but if he prevents her, then Allah reveals in it (quranic verse): "And when you divorce women and they have fulfilled their term, do not prevent them from remarrying their [former] husbands if they agree among themselves on an acceptable basis"  

الطبراني:١٧٦٧٣ – حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ هَارُونَ ثنا يَحْيَى الْحِمَّانِيُّ ثنا وَكِيعٌ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ دَلْهَمٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ مَعْقِلِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ أَنَّ أُخْتَهُ طَلَّقَهَا زَوْجُهَا فَأَرَادَ

أَنْ يُرَاجِعَهَا فَمَنَعَهَا مَعْقِلٌ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ فِي ذَلِكَ {وَإِذَا طَلَّقْتُمُ النِّسَاءَ فَبَلَغْنَ أَجَلَهُنَّ فَلَا تَعْضُلُوهُنَّ أَنْ يَنْكِحْنَ أَزْوَاجَهُنَّ إِذَا تَرَاضَوْا بَيْنَهُمْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ}
