It is narrated from Sayyiduna Rafi' bin Khadij (may Allah be pleased with him) that he had an elderly wife, and he married a young woman in addition to her and began to prefer the virgin over his first wife. His first wife refused to accept this, so he gave her one divorce, until, when her waiting period was close to ending, he said: "If you wish, I will take you back on the condition that you bear patiently with this preference (unequal treatment), and if you wish, I will leave you until your waiting period is complete." She said: "Rather, take me back and I will bear it patiently." So he took her back, but she could not again bear this preference patiently, so he gave her the second divorce and preferred the young wife. The narrator said: This is the settlement concerning which it reached us that Allah Almighty revealed this verse: "And if a woman fears ill-treatment or aversion from her husband, there is no sin upon them both if they make a settlement between themselves" [Surah an-Nisa: 128] . This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.

It is narrated from Yusay' al-Kindi that he said: I was with Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) when a man asked: "O Commander of the Believers! What is your view of this saying of Allah Almighty: 'So Allah will judge between you on the Day of Resurrection, and Allah will never give the disbelievers a way over the believers' [Surah an-Nisa: 141] , when (in this world) the disbelievers fight the believers, overcome them and even kill them?" Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Come close to me, come close." Then he said: "Allah will judge between you on the Day of Resurrection, and Allah will (on that day, that is, on the Day of Resurrection) never give the disbelievers a way (to victory) over the believers." This hadith has an authentic (sahih) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) concerning this saying of Allah Almighty: "And there is none of the People of the Book but will surely believe in him before his death" [Surah an-Nisa: 159] that he said: "This refers to the coming (in the last age) of Sayyiduna Isa bin Maryam (Allah's blessings be upon him)." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.
