Sahih al-Bukhari 4529 (Book 65, Hadith 52) #4313
Remarriage of Divorced Women

SUMMARY: Allah has commanded us not to prevent divorced women from remarrying their former husbands.

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 (ie 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)
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ الْعَقَدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ رَاشِدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَعْقِلُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ، قَالَ كَانَتْ لِي أُخْتٌ تُخْطَبُ إِلَىَّ‏.‏ وَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، حَدَّثَنِي مَعْقِلُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ،‏.‏ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، أَنَّ أُخْتَ، مَعْقِلِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ طَلَّقَهَا زَوْجُهَا، فَتَرَكَهَا حَتَّى انْقَضَتْ عِدَّتُهَا، فَخَطَبَهَا فَأَبَى مَعْقِلٌ، فَنَزَلَتْ ‏{‏فَلاَ تَعْضُلُوهُنَّ أَنْ يَنْكِحْنَ أَزْوَاجَهُنَّ‏}‏‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the commandment of Allah regarding the remarriage of divorced women. It was narrated by Al-Hasan that a woman was divorced by her husband and he wanted to remarry her after she had fulfilled her term of Iddat (the period which should elapse before she can remarry). However, Ma'qal bin Yasar refused this. As a result, Allah revealed the verse “Do not prevent them from marrying their (former) husbands” (2:232). This verse teaches us that we should not stop a woman who has been previously married and then divorced from getting back together with her former husband if they both agree to it. We must respect their decision and allow them to make this choice for themselves without any interference or judgement from others.
