Hadith 759
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ ، قَالَ : ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ عَمَّتِهِ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ كَعْبٍ ، عَنِ الْفُرَيْعَةِ بِنْتِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا ، أَنَّ زَوْجَهَا خَرَجَ فِي طَلَبِ أَعْلاجٍ لَهُ فَأَدْرَكَهُمْ بِالْقَدُومِ ، فَوَثَبُوا عَلَيْهِ فَقَتَلُوهُ ، وَأَنَّهَا جَاءَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَذَكَرَتْ لَهُ أَنَّهَا فِي مَنْزِلٍ شَاسِعٍ عَنْ أَهْلِهَا وَأَنَّهَا تُرِيدُ التَّحَوُّلَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَأَذِنَ لَهَا ، قَالَتْ : فَخَرَجْتُ حَتَّى إِذَا كُنْتُ فِي الْحُجُرَاتِ ، أَوْ قَالَتْ : جَاوَزْتُ الْحُجُرَاتِ دَعَانِي ، أَوْ قَالَتْ : أَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ فَدَعَانِي ، فَقَالَ لِي : " اعْتَدِّي فِي بَيْتِ زَوْجِكِ الَّذِي جَاءَكَ فِيهِ نَعْيُهُ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ الْكِتَابُ أَجَلَهُ " ، قَالَتْ : فَلَمَّا كَانَ زَمَنُ عُثْمَانَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ بَعَثَ إِلَيَّ فَسَأَلَنِي ، فَحَدَّثْتُهُ .
Fari’ah bint Malik (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that her husband went out in search of his (Abyssinian) slaves and found them at a place called Qudum. They attacked and killed him. She came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and related her story, also mentioning that she lived in a house far from her family, so she wished to return to her parental home. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) granted her permission. Fari’ah says: When I reached near the chambers or had gone beyond them, he called me back or sent for me and said: Complete your waiting period (‘iddah) in your husband’s house, where you received the news of his death. Fari’ah says: During the caliphate of Sayyiduna ‘Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), he sent for me to ask about this matter, and I informed him.
