Hadith 762
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، قَالَ : ثنا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ ، قَالَ : أنا يَحْيَى يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَعِيدٍ ، أَنَّ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ يَسَارٍ ، أَخْبَرَهُ ، أَنَّ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ اجْتَمَعَ هُوَ وَابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ عِنْدَ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ ، " فَذَكَرُوا الرَّجُلَ يَتَوَفَّى عَنِ الْمَرْأَةِ فَتَلِدُ بَعْدَهُ بِلَيَالٍ قَلائِلَ ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا : حِلُّهَا آخِرُ الأَجَلَيْنِ ، وَقَالَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ : إِذَا وَضَعَتْ فَقَدْ حَلَّتْ ، فَتَرَاجَعَا فِي ذَلِكَ بَيْنَهُمَا ، فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ : أَنَا مَعُ ابْنِ أَخِي يَعْنِي أَبَا سَلَمَةَ ، فَبَعَثُوا كُرَيْبًا مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ إِلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا فَسَأَلَهَا ، فَذَكَرَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ أَنَّ سُبَيْعَةَ بِنْتَ الْحَارِثِ الأَسْلَمِيَّةَ مَاتَ عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا فَنَفِسَتْ بَعْدَهُ لِلَيَالٍ ، وَأَنَّ رَجُلا مِنْ بَنِي عَبْدِ الدَّارِ يُكَنَّى أَبَا السَّنَابِلِ بْنَ بَعْكَكَ خَطَبَهَا ، وَأَخْبَرَهَا أَنَّهَا قَدْ حَلَّتْ ، فَأَرَادَتْ أَنْ تَتَزَوَّجَ غَيْرَهُ ، فَقَالَ لَهَا أَبُو السَّنَابِلِ : فَإِنَّكِ لَمْ تَحِلِّي ، فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ سُبَيْعَةُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَتَزَوَّجَ " .
Sayyiduna Abu Salamah and Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) gathered together with Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) and began discussing the case of a man who dies and, after a few days, his wife gives birth (so which waiting period should the woman observe). Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: Her waiting period will be whichever of the two (delivery or four months and ten days) is completed later. Abu Salamah said: When the child is born, her waiting period will be completed. There was a dispute between the two on this issue, so Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I am with my nephew Abu Salamah. Then he sent Kuraib, the slave of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), to ask Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her), so Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) informed that the husband of Subai’ah bint al-Harith al-Aslamiyyah died and a few days later she gave birth to a child. Then a man from Banu Abd al-Dar, whose kunyah was Abu Sanabil bin Ba’kak, sent her a marriage proposal and informed her that she had become lawful (for marriage). Subai’ah wanted to marry someone else, so Abu Sanabil said: You have not become lawful. Subai’ah mentioned this to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), so he ordered her to marry.
