2087. Ma'qal bin Yasār narrated: "I had a sister, and suitors would come to me proposing for her. A cousin of mine came (as a suitor), so I married her to him. He then divorced her with a revocable divorce, and left her until her waiting period finished. So when suitors came for her, he too came and proposed. I said: 'By Allāh! I will never marry her to you again.' So Allāh revealed, regarding me: And if you divorce women, and they have completed their appointed terms, do not prevent them from marrying their husbands...[1] So I expiated for my oath, and married her off to him."
