حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَسْبَاطُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الشَّيْبَانِيُّ، سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ فَيْرُوزَ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ،. قَالَ الشَّيْبَانِيُّ وَحَدَّثَنِي عَطَاءٌ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ السُّوَائِيُّ،، وَلاَ أَظُنُّهُ إِلاَّ ذَكَرَهُ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ ‏{‏يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لاَ يَحِلُّ لَكُمْ أَنْ تَرِثُوا النِّسَاءَ كَرْهًا‏}‏ الآيَةَ قَالَ كَانُوا إِذَا مَاتَ الرَّجُلُ كَانَ أَوْلِيَاؤُهُ أَحَقَّ بِامْرَأَتِهِ، إِنْ شَاءَ بَعْضُهُمْ تَزَوَّجَهَا، وَإِنْ شَاءُوا زَوَّجَهَا، وَإِنْ شَاءُوا لَمْ يُزَوِّجْهَا، فَهُمْ أَحَقُّ بِهَا مِنْ أَهْلِهَا، فَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ فِي ذَلِكَ.

Narrator: Ibn `Abbas

English translation
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: Regarding the Qur'anic Verse: 'O you who believe! You are forbidden to inherit women against their will.' (4.19) The custom (in the Pre-Islamic Period) was that if a man died, his relatives used to have the right to inherit his wife, and if one of them wished, he could marry her, or they could marry her to somebody else, or prevent her from marrying if they wished, for they had more right to dispose of her than her own relatives. Therefore this Verse was revealed concerning this matter
বাংলা অনুবাদ
ইবনু ‘আব্বাস (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি এ আয়াতঃ ‘‘হে মু’মিনগণ! নারীদেরকে জোরপূর্বক তোমাদের উত্তরাধিকার মনে করা তোমাদের জন্য বৈধ নয়......’’- (সূরাহ আন্-নিসা ৪/১৯)। এর ব্যাখ্যায় বলেন, তাদের নিয়ম ছিল, যখন কোন লোক মারা যেত তখন তার অভিভাবকগণই তার স্ত্রীর ব্যাপারে অধিক হক্দার বলে মনে করত। ইচ্ছা করলে তাদের মধ্যে কেউ তাকে বিয়ে করত, ইচ্ছা করলে তাকে (অন্যত্র) বিয়ে দিত, আর ইচ্ছা করলে তাকে বিয়ে দিত না। স্ত্রীর অভিভাবকদের তুলনায় নিজেদেরকে অধিক হকদার তারাই মনে করত। এ সম্পর্কেই উক্ত আয়াত অবতীর্ণ হয়। [৪৫৭৯] (আধুনিক প্রকাশনী- ৬৪৬৬, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশন)
