English translation
2089. It was reported from Ibn 'Abbās, regarding the Verse: “It is not permitted for you to inherit women against their will. And do not prevent them from remarrying...” Ibn 'Abbās said: “If a person died, his guardians had more right to his wife than her own guardians. If one of them wished, he would marry her, and if they wished, they would not marry her. So this Verse was revealed in regard to this practice.” (Sahih)
