2116. (Another chain) from Qatādah, from Khilās, and Abū Ḥassān, from ‘Abdullāh bin ‘Utbah bin Mas’ūd, that ‘Abdullāh bin Mas’ūd was asked regarding this case (as mentioned in no. 2119), and they came to him for a month, or, many times. He then said: “I say regarding her: She will receive a dowry for an amount similar to (what) her women (normally get), neither more nor less. And she will inherit, and she must observe the waiting period. So if this (verdict) is correct, it is from Allāh, and if it is mistaken, it is from me and Shaitān, and Allāh and His Messenger are free of it.” At this, a group of people of the tribe of Ashja’ stood up, among them Al-Jarrāh and Abū Sinān; they said: “O Ibn Mas’ūd, we testify that this (verdict) was the verdict of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ for us, regarding Barwa' bint Wāshiq. For her husband, Hilāl bin Murrah Al-Ashja'i, was in the same situation as this." At this, 'Abdullāh bin Mas'ūd was very happy, since his verdict turned out to be the same as the verdict of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. (Ṣaḥīḥ)

2116 - حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ خِلَاسٍ، وَأَبِي حَسَّانَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ، أُتِيَ فِي رَجُلٍ بِهَذَا الْخَبَرِ، قَالَ: فَاخْتَلَفُوا إِلَيْهِ، شَهْرًا - أَوْ قَالَ: - مَرَّاتٍ، قَالَ: فَإِنِّي أَقُولُ فِيهَا إِنَّ لَهَا صَدَاقًا كَصَدَاقِ نِسَائِهَا، لَا وَكْسَ، وَلَا شَطَطَ، وَإِنَّ لَهَا الْمِيرَاثَ وَعَلَيْهَا الْعِدَّةُ، فَإِنْ يَكُ صَوَابًا، فَمِنَ اللَّهِ وَإِنْ يَكُنْ خَطَأً فَمِنِّي وَمِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ، وَاللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ بَرِيئَانِ، فَقَامَ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَشْجَعَ فِيهِمُ الْجَرَّاحُ، وَأَبُو سِنَانٍ ، فَقَالُوا: يَا ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ نَحْنُ نَشْهَدُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَضَاهَا فِينَا فِي بِرْوَعَ بِنْتِ وَاشِقٍ وَإِنَّ زَوْجَهَا هِلَالُ بْنُ مُرَّةَ الْأَشْجَعِيُّ كَمَا قَضَيْتَ قَالَ: فَفَرِحَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ فَرَحًا شَدِيدًا حِينَ وَافَقَ قَضَاؤُهُ قَضَاءَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ

Commentary

1. A marriage agreement without a specified Mahr is valid but it obligates the groom to pay a Mahr similar to that normally paid to other women of the bride's family, like her mother, sister, etc — in the event that the husband dies. 2. A woman whose husband died before the consummation of marriage shall complete her Iddah (the legally prescribed period of waiting during which a woman may not remarry after being widowed or divorced) prior to remarriage.
