English translation

3542. It was narrated from Sulaimân bin Yâsir that Abû Hurairah, Ibn 'Abbâs, and Abû Salamah bin 'Abdur-Rahmân were talking about the 'Iddah of a woman whose husband dies, and she gives birth after her husband dies. Ibn 'Abbâs said: "She should observe 'Iddah for the longer of the two periods." Abû Salamah said: "No, it becomes permissible for her to marry when she has given birth." Abû Hurairah said: "I agree with my brother's son." So they sent word to Umm Salamah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, and she said: "Subai'ah Al-Aslamiyyah gave birth shortly after her husband died; she consulted the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and he told her to get married." (Sahîh)

Arabic text

3512 - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ يَحْيَى، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ وَابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ وَأَبَا سَلَمَةَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ تَذَاكَرُوا عِدَّةَ الْمُتَوَفَّى عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا تَضَعُ عِنْدَ وَفَاةِ زَوْجِهَا، فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: تَعْتَدُّ آخِرَ الْأَجَلَيْنِ، وَقَالَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ: بَلْ تَحِلُّ حِينَ تَضَعُ، فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ: أَنَا مَعَ ابْنِ أَخِي، فَأَرْسَلُوا إِلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَتْ: وَضَعَتْ سُبَيْعَةُ الْأَسْلَمِيَّةُ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ زَوْجِهَا بِيَسِيرٍ، فَاسْتَفْتَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، «فَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَتَزَوَّجَ»
