﴿وَإِن امْرَأَة خَافت﴾ يَعْنِي: علمت ﴿من بَعْلهَا﴾ يَعْنِي: زَوجهَا ﴿نُشُوزًا﴾ يَعْنِي: بغضا ﴿أَوْ إِعْرَاضًا فَلا جنَاح﴾ لَا حرج. ﴿عَلَيْهِمَا أَن يصالحا بَينهمَا صلحا وَالصُّلْح خير﴾ الْآيَة، قَالَ بَعضهم: هِيَ الْمَرْأَة تكون عِنْد الرجل فتكبر فَلَا تَلد، فيريد أَن يتَزَوَّج عَلَيْهَا أشب مِنْهَا، ويؤثرها على الْكَبِيرَة، فَيَقُول لَهَا: إِن رضيت أَن أوثرها عَلَيْك وَإِلَّا طَلقتك، أَو يُعْطِيهَا من مَاله على أَن ترْضى أَن يُؤثر عَلَيْهَا الشَّابَّة.
وقولُه: ﴿وأحضرت الْأَنْفس الشُّح﴾ أَي: شحت بنصيبها من زَوجهَا لِلْأُخْرَى؛ فَلم ترض. ﴿وَإِنْ تُحْسِنُوا﴾ [الْفِعْل] ﴿وتتقوا﴾ الْميل والجور فِيهِنَّ ﴿فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرًا﴾.
