3539. Abū Salamah said: "Abū Hurairah and Ibn 'Abbās differed concerning the widow who gives birth after her husband's death. Abū Hurairah said: 'She may be married.' Ibn 'Abbâs said: '(She has to wait) for the longer of the two periods.'[1] They sent word to Umm Salamah and she said: 'The husband of Subai'ah died and she gave birth fifteen days – half a month – after her husband died.' She said: 'Two men proposed marriage to her, and she was inclined toward one of them. When they feared that she was becoming single-minded (on this issue, and not consulting her family), they said: It is not permissible for you to marry. She went to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and he said: 'It is permissible for you to marry, so marry whomever you want.''" (Sahih)

3509 - أَخْبَرَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ رَبِّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ، يَقُولُ: اخْتَلَفَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ وَابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فِي الْمُتَوَفَّى عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا إِذَا وَضَعَتْ حَمْلَهَا، قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ: تُزَوَّجُ، وَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: أَبْعَدَ الْأَجَلَيْنِ؟ فَبَعَثُوا إِلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، فَقَالَتْ: تُوُفِّيَ زَوْجُ سُبَيْعَةَ فَوَلَدَتْ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ زَوْجِهَا بِخَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ نِصْفِ شَهْرٍ، قَالَتْ: فَخَطَبَهَا رَجُلَانِ فَحَطَّتْ بِنَفْسِهَا إِلَى أَحَدِهِمَا، فَلَمَّا خَشُوا أَنْ تَفْتَاتَ بِنَفْسِهَا، قَالُوا: إِنَّكِ لَا تَحِلِّينَ، قَالَتْ: فَانْطَلَقْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: «قَدْ حَلَلْتِ فَانْكِحِي مَنْ شِئْتِ»
