Sahih al-Bukhari 5331

Hadith text

Narrated Al-Hasan:The sister of Ma'qil bin Yasar was married to a man and then that man divorced her and remained away from her till her period of the 'Iddah expired. Then he demanded for her hand in marriage, but Ma'qil got angry out of pride and haughtiness and said, "He kept away from her when he could still retain her, and now he demands her hand again?" So Ma'qil disagreed to remarry her to him. Then Allah revealed: 'When you have divorced women and they have fulfilled the term of their prescribed period, do not prevent them from marrying their (former) husbands.' (2.232) So the Prophet (ﷺ) sent for Ma'qil and recited to him (Allah's order) and consequently Ma'qil gave up his pride and haughtiness and yielded to Allah's order

Al-Hasan bataate hain: Ma'qil bin Yasar ki behen ki shaadi ek aadmi se hui, phir us aadmi ne use talaaq de di aur uski Iddat khatam hone tak door raha. Phir usne dobara uska rishta maanga, magar Ma'qil ghamand aur khud-daari mein gussa ho gaye aur kaha, 'Usne use tab door kiya jab wo use rakh sakta tha, aur ab dobara uska rishta maang raha hai?' To Ma'qil ne usse dobara nikaah karne se inkaar kiya. Phir Allah ne naazil farmaya: 'Jab tum auraton ko talaaq de chuko aur wo apni muqarrar muddat poori kar chukein, to unhein apne (pehle) shauharon se nikaah karne se mat roko.' (2.232) To Nabi (SAW) ne Ma'qil ko bulwaaya aur unhein (Allah ka hukm) padh kar sunaaya, isper Ma'qil ne apna ghamand aur khud-daari chhod di aur Allah ke hukm ke saamne jhuk gaye.
