Hadith 6932

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ قَالَ أُتِيَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فِي رَجُلٍ تَزَوَّجَ امْرَأَةً فَمَاتَ عَنْهَا وَلَمْ يُفْرِضْ لَهَا وَلَمْ يَدْخُلْ بِهَا فَسُئِلَ عَنْهَا شَهْرًا فَلَمْ يَقُلْ فِيهَا شَيْئًا ثُمَّ سَأَلُوهُ فَقَالَ أَقُولُ فِيهَا بِرَأْيِي فَإِنْ يَكُ خَطَأً فَمِنِّي وَمِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ وَإِنْ يَكُ صَوَابًا فَمِنَ اللَّهِ وَلَهَا صَدَاقُ إِحْدَى نِسَائِهَا وَلَهَا الْمِيرَاثُ وَعَلَيْهَا الْعِدَّةُ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَشْجَعَ فَقَالَ أَشْهَدُ لَقَضَيْتَ فِيهَا بِقَضَاءِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي بِرْوَعَ ابْنَةِ وَاشِقٍ قَالَ فَقَالَ هَلُمَّ شَاهِدَيْكَ فَشَهِدَ لَهُ الْجَرَّاحُ وَأَبُو سِنَانٍ رَجُلَانِ مِنْ أَشْجَعَ
Narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Utbah that a case was brought before Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) in which a man had married a woman and then died, without having fixed a dowry (mahr) or having consummated the marriage. For a month, this question was repeatedly asked of him, but he did not give any answer. Later, when he was asked again, Sayyiduna Ibn Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Now I will decide according to my own opinion; if it is wrong, then it is from myself and from Satan, and if it is correct, then it is from Allah Almighty. This woman should be given a dowry like that of other women, she will also inherit, and she must observe the waiting period (‘iddah). Upon hearing this decision, a man from the tribe of Banu Ashja’ stood up and said: O Abdullah! The decision you have given is exactly the same as the decision of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding Barwa’ bint Washiq. Abdullah said: Bring witnesses for this. Two men from the Ashja’ tribe, Jarrah and Abu Sinan, testified along with him.
