[Machine] That he married his sister to a man during the time of the Prophet ﷺ, and she was with him for a while, then he divorced her once and did not remarry her until her waiting period ended. He desired her and she desired him. Then, he proposed to her through intermediaries and said to him, "Oh Lukaa, I honored you by marrying her to you, and you divorced her, by Allah, she will never return to you. That is all that is upon you." Allah knew his need for her and her need for him, so Allah revealed the verse, "And when you divorce women and they have [nearly] fulfilled their term, either retain them according to acceptable terms or release them according to acceptable terms" until the end of the verse. When he heard it, Maqil said, "I hear and obey my Lord." Then, he called him and said, "I will marry her to you and honor you."
أَنَّهُ زَوَّجَ أُخْتَهُ رَجُلًا عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَكَانَتْ عِنْدَهُ مَا كَانَتْ ثُمَّ طَلَّقَهَا تَطْلِيقَةً فَلَمْ يُرَاجِعْهَا حَتَّى انْقَضَتِ الْعِدَّةَ فَهَوَاهَا وَهَوَتْهُ ثُمَّ خَطَبَهَا مَعَ الْخُطَّابِ فَقَالَ لَهُ «يَا لُكَعُ أَكْرَمْتُكَ بِهَا وَزَوَّجْتُكَهَا فَطَلَّقْتَهَا وَاللهِ لَا تَرْجِعُ إِلَيْكَ أَبَدًا آخَرُ مَا عَلَيْكَ» فَعَلِمَ اللهُ حَاجَتَهُ إِلَيْهَا وَحَاجَتُهَا إِلَيْهِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {وَإِذَا طَلَّقْتُمُ النِّسَاءَ فَبَلَغْنَ أَجَلَهُنَّ فَلَا تَعْضُلُوهُنَّ أَنْ يَنْكِحْنَ أَزْوَاجَهُنَّ إِذَا تَرَاضَوْا بَيْنَهُمْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ} إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ فَلَمَّا سَمِعَهَا مَعْقِلٌ قَالَ «سَمْعًا لِرَبِّي وَطَاعَةً» ثُمَّ دَعَاهُ فَقَالَ «أُزَوِّجُكَ وَأُكْرِمُكُ»
