(26). 3040. Ibn 'Abbās said: "Sawdah feared that the Prophet ﷺ was going to divorce her, so she said: 'Do not divorce me, but keep me and give my day to 'Āishah.' So he (ﷺ) did so, and the following was revealed: Then there is no sin on them both if they make terms of peace between themselves, and making peace is better.[1] So whatever they agree to make peace in something then it is permissible." (Ṣaḥīḥ)
[It is as if it is a statement of Ibn 'Abbās].
Abū 'Eisā said: This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ Gharīb.

Commentary
Dowry and equal treatment is a right of every wife. But if a woman has fear regarding her husband that if she keeps him under the pressure of restrictions, he will perhaps leave her, or he will get fed up with her and will ignore her; in this case there is no harm in compromising with each other; a woman may give relief to her husband in matter of dowry, equal treatment and in living expenses in order to eliminate the risk of the relationship being severed.
