Volume 9, Book 93, Number 626:
Narrated Al-Hasan:
‘Amr bin Taghlib said, “Some property was given to the Prophet and he gave it to some people and
withheld it from some others. Then he came to know that they (the latter) were dissatisfied. So the
Prophet said, ‘I give to one man and leave (do not give) another, and the one to whom I do not give is
dearer to me than the one to whom I give. I give to some people because of the impatience and dis –
content present in their hearts, and leave other people because of the content and goodness Allah has
bestowed on them, and one of them is ‘Amr bin Taghlib.” ‘Amr bin Taghlib said, “The sentence which
Allah’s Apostle said in my favor is dearer to me than the possession of nice red camels.”
Volume 9, Book 88, Number 204:
Narrated Al-Hasan:
(Al-Ahnaf said:) I went out carrying my arms during the nights of the affliction (i.e. the war
between ‘Ali and ‘Aisha) and Abu Bakra met me and asked, “Where are you going?” I replied, “I in –
tend to help the cousin of Allah’s Apostle (i.e.,’Ali).” Abu Bakra said, “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘If two
Muslims take out their swords to fight each other, then both of them will be from amongst the
people of the Hell-Fire.’ It was said to the Prophet, ‘It is alright for the killer but what about the killed
one?’ He replied, ‘The killed one had the intention to kill his opponent.'” (See Hadith No. 30, Vol. 1)
Volume 7, Book 63, Number 247:
Narrated Al-Hasan:
Ma’qil gave his sister in marriage and later her husband divorced her once.
Volume 7, Book 63, Number 248:
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 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.
Volume 7, Book 62, Number 61:
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.
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 52:
Narrated Al-Hasan:
The sister of Ma’qal bin Yasar was divorced by her husband who left her till she had fulfilled her
term of ‘Iddat (i.e. the period which should elapse before she can Remarry) and then he wanted to
remarry her but Maqal refused, so this Verse was revealed:–
“Do not prevent them from marrying their (former) husbands.” (2.232)
