Narrated Al-Hasan:
concerning the Verse: ‘Do not prevent them’ (2.232) Ma’qil bin Yasar told me that it was revealed
in his connection. He said, “I married my sister to a man and he divorced her, and when her days of
‘Idda (three menstrual periods) were over, the man came again and asked for her hand, but I said to
him, ‘I married her to you and made her your bed (your wife) and favored you with her, but you di –
vorced her. Now you come to ask for her hand again? No, by Allah, she will never go back to you
(again)!’ That man was not a bad man and his wife wanted to go back to him. So Allah revealed this
Verse: ‘Do not prevent them.’ (2.232) So I said, ‘Now I will do it (let her go back to him), O Allah’s
Apostle.”So he married her to him again.

Narrated Ar-Rabi’:
(the daughter of Muawwidh bin Afra) After the consummation of my marriage, the Prophet came
and sat on my bed as far from me as you are sitting now, and our little girls started beating the tam –
bourines and reciting elegiac verses mourning my father who had been killed in the battle of Badr.
One of them said, “Among us is a Prophet who knows what will happen tomorrow.” On that the
Prophet said, “Leave this (saying) and keep on saying the verses which you had been saying before.”

Narrated ‘Aisha:
(regarding His Statement): ‘They ask your instruction concerning the women. Say: Allah instructs
you about them …’ (4.127) It is about the female orphan who is under the guardianship of a man
with whom she shares her property and he does not want to marry her and dislikes that someone
else should marry her, lest he should share the property with him, so he prevents her from marrying.
So Allah forbade such a guardian to do so (i.e. to prevent her from marrying).
