Narrated Al-Hasan:

The sister of Ma'qal bin Yasar was divorced by her husband who left her till she had fulfilled her term 
of 'Iddat (i.e. the period which should elapse before she can Remarry) and then he wanted to remarry 
her but Maqal refused, so this Verse was revealed:-- 
"Do not prevent them from marrying their (former) husbands." (2.232)

"And when you have divorced women and they have fulfilled the term of their prescribed period, do not prevent them from marrying their (former) husbands..." (V.2:232)

Sahih al-Bukhari

وَحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ، أَنَّ مَعْقِلَ بْنَ يَسَارٍ، كَانَتْ أُخْتُهُ تَحْتَ رَجُلٍ فَطَلَّقَهَا، ثُمَّ خَلَّى عَنْهَا حَتَّى انْقَضَتْ عِدَّتُهَا، ثُمَّ خَطَبَهَا فَحَمِيَ مَعْقِلٌ مِنَ ذَلِكَ أَنَفًا فَقَالَ خَلَّى عَنْهَا وَهْوَ يَقْدِرُ عَلَيْهَا، ثُمَّ يَخْطُبُهَا فَحَالَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهَا، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ ‏[quran sura="2" aya_start="232" aya_end="232"]{‏وَإِذَا طَلَّقْتُمُ النِّسَاءَ فَبَلَغْنَ أَجَلَهُنَّ فَلاَ تَعْضُلُوهُنَّ‏}‏ إِلَى آخِرِ الآيَةِ، فَدَعَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَرَأَ عَلَيْهِ، فَتَرَكَ الْحَمِيَّةَ وَاسْتَقَادَ لأَمْرِ اللَّهِ‏.‏

بَابُ: {وَبُعُولَتُهُنَّ أَحَقُّ بِرَدِّهِنَّ}

Narrated Al-Hasan:

The sister of Ma'qil bin Yasar was married to a man and then that man divorced her and remained 
away from her till her period of the 'Iddah expired. Then he demanded for her hand in marriage, but 
Ma'qil got angry out of pride and haughtiness and said, "He kept away from her when he could still 
retain her, and now he demands her hand again?" So Ma'qil disagreed to remarry her to him. Then 
Allah revealed: 'When you have divorced women and they have fulfilled the term of their prescribed 
period, do not prevent them from marrying their (former) husbands.' (2.232) So the Prophet (ﷺ) sent for 
Ma'qil and recited to him (Allah's order) and consequently Ma'qil gave up his pride and haughtiness 
and yielded to Allah's order.
