Hadith #2694
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها – {وَإِنِ امْرَأَةٌ خَافَتْ مِنْ بَعْلِهَا نُشُوزًا أَوْ إِعْرَاضًا} قَالَتْ هُوَ الرَّجُلُ يَرَى مِنِ امْرَأَتِهِ مَا لاَ يُعْجِبُهُ، كِبَرًا أَوْ غَيْرَهُ، فَيُرِيدُ فِرَاقَهَا فَتَقُولُ أَمْسِكْنِي، وَاقْسِمْ لِي مَا شِئْتَ. قَالَتْ فَلاَ بَأْسَ إِذَا تَرَاضَيَا.
The following Verse: If a woman fears cruelty or desertion on her husband's part (i.e. the husband
notices something unpleasant about his wife, such as old age or the like, and wants to divorce her, but
she asks him to keep her and provide for her as he wishes). (4.128) "There is no blame on them if
they reconcile on such basis."
