3991. Narrated Suba'i'a bint Al-Ĥārith that she was married to Sa'd bin Khaula who was from the tribe of Banī 'Amr bin Lu'āi and was one of those who fought in the battle of Badr. He died while she was pregnant during Hajjat-ul-Wadā'. Soon after his death, she gave birth to a child. When she completed the term of delivery (i.e., became clean), she prepared herself for suitors. Abū As-Sanābil bin Ba'kak, a man from the tribe of Banī 'Abd Ad-Dār, called on her and said to her, "What! I see you dressed up for the people to ask you in marriage. Do you want to marry? By Allāh, you are not allowed to marry unless four months and ten days have elapsed (after your husband's death)." Subā'ā in her narration said, "When he (i.e., Abū As-Sanābil) said this to me, I put on my dress in the evening and went to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and asked him about this problem. He gave the verdict that I was free to marry as I had already given birth to my child and ordered me to marry if I wished."

3991 - وَقَالَ اللَّيْثُ: حَدَّثَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ، أَنَّ أَبَاهُ كَتَبَ إِلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الأَرْقَمِ الزُّهْرِيِّ: يَأْمُرُهُ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ عَلَى سُبَيْعَةَ بِنْتِ الحَارِثِ الأَسْلَمِيَّةِ، فَيَسْأَلَهَا عَنْ حَدِيثِهَا، وَعَنْ مَا قَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ اسْتَفْتَتْهُ. فَكَتَبَ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الأَرْقَمِ، إِلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ، يُخْبِرُهُ أَنَّ سُبَيْعَةَ بِنْتَ الحَارِثِ أَخْبَرَتْهُ: أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ تَحْتَ سَعْدِ ابْنِ خَوْلَةَ، وَهُوَ مِنْ بَنِي عَامِرِ بْنِ لُؤَيٍّ، وَكَانَ مِمَّنْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا، فَتُوُفِّيَ عَنْهَا فِي حَجَّةِ الوَدَاعِ وَهِيَ حَامِلٌ، فَلَمْ تَنْشَبْ أَنْ وَضَعَتْ حَمْلَهَا بَعْدَ وَفَاتِهِ، فَلَمَّا تَعَلَّتْ مِنْ نِفَاسِهَا، تَجَمَّلَتْ لِلْخُطَّابِ، فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا أَبُو السَّنَابِلِ بْنُ بَعْكَكٍ، رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي عَبْدِ الدَّارِ، فَقَالَ لَهَا: مَا لِي أَرَاكِ تَجَمَّلْتِ لِلْخُطَّابِ، تُرَجِّينَ النِّكَاحَ؟ فَإِنَّكِ وَاللَّهِ مَا أَنْتِ بِنَاكِحٍ حَتَّى تَمُرَّ عَلَيْكِ أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرٌ، قَالَتْ سُبَيْعَةُ: فَلَمَّا قَالَ لِي ذَلِكَ جَمَعْتُ عَلَيَّ ثِيَابِي حِينَ أَمْسَيْتُ، وَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ «فَأَفْتَانِي بِأَنِّي قَدْ حَلَلْتُ حِينَ وَضَعْتُ حَمْلِي، وَأَمَرَنِي بِالتَّزَوُّجِ إِنْ بَدَا لِي» تَابَعَهُ أَصْبَغُ، عَنْ ابْنِ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، وَقَالَ اللَّيْثُ: حَدَّثَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ وَسَأَلْنَاهُ فَقَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ ثَوْبَانَ، مَوْلَى بَنِي عَامِرِ بْنِ لُؤَيٍّ، أَنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ إِيَاسِ بْنِ البُكَيْرِ وَكَانَ أَبُوهُ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا، أَخْبَرَهُ
