بَابُ عِدَّةِ الْمُتَوَفَّى عَنْهَا إِذَا كَانَتْ غَيْرُ حَامِل أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرًا لِقَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: «وَالَّذِينَ يُتَوَفَّوْنَ مِنْكُمْ وَيَذَرُونَ أَزْوَاجًا يَتَرَبَّصْنَ بِأَنْفُسِهِنَّ رْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرًا»
Chapter: The Waiting Period for a Widow Who Is Not Pregnant Is Four Months and Ten Days, According to Allah's Saying: "And those of you who die and leave wives behind, they shall wait by themselves for four months and ten days"
Hadith 7237
عَنْ قَبِیصَةَ بْنِ ذُؤَيْبٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ قَالَ: لَا تَلْبَسُوا عَلَيْنَا سُنَّةَ نَبِيِّنَا صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم عِدَّةُ أُمِّ الْوَلَدِ إِذَا تُوُفِّيَ عَنْهَا سَيِّدُهَا أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرٌ۔
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Amr bin Al-Aas (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: Do not confuse the Sunnah of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for us; when the husband of an umm walad passes away, her waiting period (‘iddah) will be four months and ten days.
