[3723] 57 - (1485) Sulaimân bin Yasâr narrated that Abû Salamah bin 'Abdur-Raḥmân and Ibn 'Abbâs met in the house of Abû Hurairah, and they were talking about a woman who gives birth a few days after her husband has died. Ibn 'Abbâs said: "Her 'Iddah is the longer of the two periods." Abû Salamah said: "Her 'Iddah is over." They started to dispute about that. Then Abû Hurairah said: "I am with my nephew" - meaning Abû Salamah. So they sent Kuraib, the freed slave of Ibn 'Abbâs, to Umm Salamah to ask her about that. He came to them and told them that Umm Salamah said: "Subai'ah Al-Aslamiyyah gave birth a few days after her husband died, and she mentioned that to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, who told her to get married."

Arabic text

57 - (1485) حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى الْعَنَزِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ يَحْيَى بْنَ سَعِيدٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ، أَنَّ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، وَابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ، اجْتَمَعَا عِنْدَ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، وَهُمَا يَذْكُرَانِ الْمَرْأَةَ تُنْفَسُ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ زَوْجِهَا بِلَيَالٍ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: عِدَّتُهَا آخِرُ الْأَجَلَيْنِ، وَقَالَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ: قَدْ حَلَّتْ، فَجَعَلَا يَتَنَازَعَانِ ذَلِكَ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ: أَنَا مَعَ ابْنِ أَخِي - يَعْنِي أَبَا سَلَمَةَ - فَبَعَثُوا كُرَيْبًا مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، إِلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، يَسْأَلُهَا عَنْ ذَلِكَ، فَجَاءَهُمْ فَأَخْبَرَهُمْ، أَنَّ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ قَالَتْ: «إِنَّ سُبَيْعَةَ الْأَسْلَمِيَّةَ نُفِسَتْ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ زَوْجِهَا بِلَيَالٍ، وَإِنَّهَا ذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَتَزَوَّجَ»،
