مَنْ يُكَنَّى أَبَا قَيْسٍ أَبُو قَيْسٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ تُوُفِّيَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ

tabarani:19272ʿAbdullāh b. Muḥammad b. Saʿīd b. Abū Maryam > Muḥammad b. Yūsuf al-Firyābī > Qays b. al-Rabīʿ > Ashʿath b. Sawwār > ʿAdī b. Thābit > a man from al-Anṣār

[Machine] Abu Qais died and he was one of the righteous of the Ansar. His son Qais proposed to his wife, and she said, "I promise to give you a child, and you are from the righteous people of your tribe. However, I am going to ask the Messenger of Allah for permission." So, she went to the Messenger of Allah and said, "Abu Qais has died." He replied to her, "May Allah grant you goodness." She said, "And indeed, his son Qais proposed to me, and he is from the righteous people of his tribe. I was only preparing to have a child with him." He said to her, "Go back to your home." And this verse was revealed, "And do not marry those [women] whom your fathers married."  

الطبراني:١٩٢٧٢حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ الْفِرْيَابِيُّ ثنا قَيْسُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ عَنْ أَشْعَثَ بْنِ سَوَّارٍ عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ قَالَ

تُوُفِّيَ أَبُو قَيْسٍ وَكَانَ مِنْ صَالِحِي الْأَنْصَارِ فَخَطَبَ ابْنُهُ قَيْسُ امْرَأَتَهُ فَقَالَتْ أَنَا أَعِدَكَ وَلَدًا وَأَنْتَ مِنْ صَالِحِي قَوْمِكَ وَلَكِنِّي آتِي رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَسْتَأْمِرُهُ فَأَتَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ إِنَّ أَبَا قَيْسٍ تُوُفِّيَ فَقَالَ لَهَا خَيْرًا قَالَتْ وَإِنَّ ابْنَهُ قَيْسًا خَطَبَنِي وَهُوَ مِنْ صَالِحِي قَوْمِهِ وَإِنَّمَا كُنْتُ أَعِدُهُ وَلَدًا فَقَالَ لَهَا ارْجِعِي إِلَى بَيْتِكِ فَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {وَلَا تَنْكِحُوا مَا نَكَحَ آبَاؤُكُمْ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ}
