His sister was married to a man who divorced her, then left her alone until her waiting period ended. Afterwards, he proposed to her again. Maqil was filled with indignation at this and said, "He left her when he had the power to keep her, and now he proposes to her?" So he prevented him from marrying her.Then Allah revealed, "And when you divorce women and they have fulfilled their term, do not prevent them..." [Baqarah 2:232], to the end of the verse.The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called him and recited the verse to him, so he abandoned his indignation and submitted to the command of Allah.

كانت أخته تحت رجل فطلقها ثم خلى عنها حتى انقضت عدتها ثم خطبها فحمي معقل من ذلك أنفا فقال خلى عنها وهو يقدر عليها ثم يخطبها فحال بينه وبينها فأنزل الله {وإذا طلقتم النساء فبلغن أجلهن فلا تعضلوهن} إلى آخر الآية فدعاه رسول الله ﷺ فقرأ عليه فترك الحمية واستقاد لأمر الله
