Sahih al-Bukhari 5117 (Book 68, Hadith 76)
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.
