قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {وَإِذَا طَلَّقْتُمُ النِّسَاءَ فَبَلَغْنَ أَجَلَهُنَّ فَلَا تَعْضُلُوهُنَّ} [البقرة: 232]

nasai-kubra:10974Sawwār b. ʿAbdullāh b. Sawwār > Abū Dāwud al-Ṭayālisī > ʿAbbād b. Rāshid > al-Ḥasan > Maʿqil b. Yasār > Kānat Lī Ukht Tukhṭab Faʾamnaʿuhā Fakhaṭabahā Ibn ʿAm Lī Fazawwajtuhā Iyyāh Fāṣṭaḥabā Mā Shāʾ Allāh

[Machine] That he should take her on a journey, then divorce her in a way that he can take her back, so he left her until her waiting period ended, and another suitor proposed to her. So I said, "You proposed to my sister, but I prevented her and chose you over her. You divorced her after her waiting period ended, and now you come to propose to her?" He said, "No, by Allah, whom there is no deity but Him, I will not marry both of you." Then this verse was 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 in an acceptable manner" [Surah Al-Baqarah 232]. So I said, "I accept and obey," and I married her.  

الكبرى للنسائي:١٠٩٧٤أَخْبَرَنَا سَوَّارُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَوَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ رَاشِدٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْحَسَنَ يَقُولُ حَدَّثَنِي مَعْقِلُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ قَالَ كَانَتْ §لِي أُخْتٌ تُخْطَبُ فَأَمْنَعُهَا فَخَطَبَهَا ابْنُ عَمٍّ لِي فَزَوَّجْتُهَا إِيَّاهُ فَاصْطَحَبَا مَا شَاءَ اللهُ

أَنْ يَصْطَحِبَا ثُمَّ طَلَّقَهَا طَلَاقًا لَهُ عَلَيْهَا رَجْعَةٌ فَتَرَكَهَا حَتَّى انْقَضَتْ عِدَّتُهَا وَخَطَبَهَا الْخُطَّابُ جَاءَ فَخَطَبَهَا فَقُلْتُ يَا لُكَعُ خُطِبَتْ أُخْتِي فَمَنَعْتُهَا النَّاسَ وَآثَرْتُكَ بِهَا طَلَّقْتَهَا فَلَمَّا انْقَضَتْ عِدَّتُهَا جِئْتَ تَخْطُبُهَا؟ لَا وَاللهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ لَا أُزَوِّجُكُمَا فَفِيَّ نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {وَإِذَا طَلَّقْتُمُ النِّسَاءَ فَبَلَغْنَ أَجَلَهُنَّ فَلَا تَعْضُلُوهُنَّ أَنْ يَنْكِحْنَ أَزْوَاجَهُنَّ إِذَا تَرَاضَوْا} [البقرة 232] فَقُلْتُ سَمْعًا وَطَاعَةً كَفَّرْتُ عَنْ يَمِينِي وَأَنْكَحْتُهَا
