[3722] 56 - (1484) 'Ubaidullâh bin 'Abdullâh bin 'Utbah bin Mas'ûd narrated that his father wrote to 'Umar bin 'Abdullâh bin Al-Arqam Az-Zuhrî, telling him to go to Subai'ah bint Al-Hârith Al-Aslamiyyah to ask her about
her Ḥadīth, and what the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said to her when she consulted him. ‘Umar bin ‘Abdullāh wrote back to ‘Abdullāh bin ‘Utbah telling him that Subai‘ah told him that she was married to Sa’d bin Khawlah, one of Banū ‘Amir bin Lu‘ayy, who was one of those who had been present at (the Battle of) Badr. He died during the Farewell Pilgrimage while she was pregnant, and she gave birth shortly after he died. When her Nifās ended, she adorned herself to receive offers of marriage. Abū As-Sanābil bin Ba’kak - a man from Banū ‘Abd Ad-Dār - entered upon her and said to her: “Why do I see you beautified? Perhaps you are hoping to get married? By Allāh, you will not get married until four months and ten days have passed!” Subai‘ah said: “When he said that to me, I got dressed that evening and went to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and asked him about that. He advised me that my Iddah had ended when I gave birth, and he told me to get married if I wanted to.”
Ibn Shihāb said: “I do not see anything wrong with (a woman) getting married after she has given birth, even if she is still bleeding, but her husband should not come close to her until she becomes pure.”
