5206. Narrated ‘Āishah رضي الله عنها (regarding the Verse) – “If a woman fears cruelty or desertion on her husband’s part...” (V.4:128): It concerns the woman whose husband does not want to keep her with him any longer, but wants to divorce her and marry some other lady, so she says to him: “Keep me and do not divorce me, and then marry another woman, and you may neither spend on me, nor sleep with me.” This is indicated by the Statement of Allāh تعالى: “There is no sin on them both if they make terms of peace between themselves and making peace is better.” (V.4:128)
