"... And for those who are pregnant (whether they are divorced or their husbands are dead), their Idda (prescribed period) is until they lay down their burdens, and whoever keeps his duty to Allāh and fears Him, He will make his matter easy for him." (V.65:4)

4909. Narrated Abū Salama: A man came to Ibn 'Abbās while Abū Hurairah was sitting with him and said, "Give me your verdict regarding a lady who delivered a baby forty days after the death of her husband." Ibn 'Abbās said, "This indicates the end of one of the two prescribed periods." I said "For those who are pregnant, their prescribed period is until they deliver their burdens." Abū Hurairah said, "I agree with my cousin (Abū Salama)." Then Ibn 'Abbās sent his slave, Kuraib to Umm Salama to ask her (regarding this matter). She replied, "The husband of Subai'a Al-Aslamiyya was killed while she was pregnant, and she delivered a baby forty days after his death. Then her hand was asked in marriage and Allāh's Messenger ﷺ married her (to somebody). Abū As-Sanābil was one of those who asked for her hand in marriage."

4909 - حَدَّثَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ، عَنْ يَحْيَى، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ، قَالَ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَأَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ جَالِسٌ عِنْدَهُ، فَقَالَ: أَفْتِنِي فِي امْرَأَةٍ وَلَدَتْ بَعْدَ زَوْجِهَا بِأَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً؟ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: آخِرُ الأَجَلَيْنِ، قُلْتُ أَنَا: {وَأُولاَتُ الأَحْمَالِ أَجَلُهُنَّ أَنْ يَضَعْنَ حَمْلَهُنَّ} [الطلاق: 4]، قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ: أَنَا مَعَ ابْنِ أَخِي - يَعْنِي أَبَا سَلَمَةَ - فَأَرْسَلَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ غُلاَمَهُ كُرَيْبًا إِلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ يَسْأَلُهَا، فَقَالَتْ: «قُتِلَ زَوْجُ سُبَيْعَةَ الأَسْلَمِيَّةِ وَهِيَ حُبْلَى، فَوَضَعَتْ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهِ بِأَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً، فَخُطِبَتْ فَأَنْكَحَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَكَانَ أَبُو السَّنَابِلِ فِيمَنْ خَطَبَهَا»،
