﴿ وَلَا تَنكِحُوا۟ مَا نَكَحَ ءَابَآؤُكُم مِّنَ ٱلنِّسَآءِ إِلَّا مَا قَدْ سَلَفَ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فَٰحِشَةًۭ وَمَقْتًۭا وَسَآءَ سَبِيلًا ﴾

“AND DO NOT marry women whom your fathers have previously married - although what is past is past: this, verily, is a shameful deed, and a hateful thing, and an evil way.”

(And marry not those women whom your fathers married�) [4:22]. This was revealed about Hisn ibn Abi al-Qays who married the wife of his father Kubayshah bint Ma�an, al-Aswad ibn Khalaf who married the wife of his father, Safwan ibn Umayyah who married his father�s wife Fakhitah bint al-Aswad ibn al-Muttalib and also about Manzur ibn Zabban who married the wife of his father Mulaykah bint Kharijah. Said Ash�at ibn Sawwar: �When Abu Qays who was one of the righteous people of Medina died, his son Qays proposed to the wife of his father. She said to him: �But I consider you like my son. I will consult the Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give him peace, to see what he commands�. When she went and informed him, Allah, exalted is He, revealed this verse�.
