عَنْ فُرَيْعَةَ بِنْتِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ خَرَجَ زَوْجِي فِي طَلَبِ أَعْلَاجٍ لَهُ فَأَدْرَكَهُمْ بِطَرَفِ الْقَدُومِ فَقَتَلُوهُ فَأَتَانِي نَعْيُهُ وَأَنَا فِي دَارٍ شَاسِعَةٍ مِنْ دُورِ أَهْلِي فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ نَعْيَ زَوْجِي أَتَانِي فِي دَارٍ شَاسِعَةٍ مِنْ دُورِ أَهْلِي وَلَمْ يَدَعْ لِي نَفَقَةً وَلَا مَالًا لِوَرَثَتِهِ وَلَيْسَ الْمَسْكَنُ لَهُ فَلَوْ تَحَوَّلْتُ إِلَى أَهْلِي وَأَخْوَالِي لَكَانَ أَرْفَقَ بِي فِي بَعْضِ شَأْنِي قَالَ تَحَوَّلِي فَلَمَّا خَرَجْتُ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ أَوْ إِلَى الْحُجْرَةِ دَعَانِي أَوْ أَمَرَ بِي فَدُعِيتُ فَقَالَ امْكُثِي فِي بَيْتِكِ الَّذِي أَتَاكِ فِيهِ نَعْيُ زَوْجِكِ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ الْكِتَابُ أَجَلَهُ قَالَتْ فَاعْتَدَدْتُ فِيهِ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرًا قَالَتْ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ عُثْمَانُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَأَخَذَ بِهِ
It is narrated from Sayyida Fari’ah bint Malik (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: My husband went out in search of his strong-bodied slaves who had run away. He found those slaves at the place of Qudum, but what happened was that they all together killed my husband. I received the news of my husband’s death in the house of my family, which was far from the settlement, and my husband had not left any provision for me, nor any wealth for the heirs, nor did he have his own house. I presented myself before the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and explained all these matters, and I sought permission that if I moved to my maternal uncles’ house, it would be better for me. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: All right, move. When I left your presence and had only reached the mosque or the chamber, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called me back and said: Stay in that same house until your waiting period (iddah) is completed, in which you received the news of your husband’s death. So I spent my waiting period of four months and ten days in that same house. During his caliphate, Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) sent a message to me; I informed him of this matter, and then he acted accordingly.
