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.

Lady Fatimah bint Qais (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that Abu Amr bin Hafs divorced her with a final (irrevocable) divorce in his absence and sent some barley with his agent. She became upset upon seeing the small amount of barley. He said: By Allah! You have no right over us. She went to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and presented the whole matter before him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her: You have no maintenance from them. He ordered her to spend her waiting period in the house of Umm Sharik, then said: Umm Sharik is a woman whom my companions frequently visit, so spend your waiting period in the house of Ibn Umm Maktum, for he is a blind man. If you happen to remove your clothes (suddenly), there is no harm, and when your waiting period is complete, inform me. She narrates: When my waiting period was complete, I informed him that Muawiyah bin Abu Sufyan and Abu Jahm bin Hudhayfah had proposed marriage to me. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Abu Jahm is a man who beats women a lot, and Muawiyah is a poor man, he has no wealth, so marry Usamah bin Zaid. Fatimah said: I did not like him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) again said: Marry Usamah bin Zaid. So I married him, and Allah placed so much goodness and blessing in it that I began to envy him.

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.

Lady Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that a woman's husband passed away, and during her waiting period ('iddah), her eyes began to hurt.

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A woman (in the days of ignorance) used to stay in her house for a whole year in dirty clothes," or he said: "in dirty clothes and in a dirty house, and when a dog would pass by, she would throw dung (to mark the end of her waiting period), and now she cannot even complete four months and ten days."
Hadith 769
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، قَالَ : ثني أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، قَالَ : ثني عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ مَطَرٍ ، عَنْ رَجَاءِ بْنِ حَيْوَةَ ، عَنْ قَبِيصَةَ بْنِ ذُؤَيْبٍ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : لا تُلْبِسُوا عَلَيْنَا سُنَّةَ نَبِيِّنَا صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، " عِدَّةُ أُمِّ الْوَلَدِ عِدَّةُ الْمُتَوَفَّى عَنْهَا " .
Sayyiduna Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that do not make the Sunnah of our Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) doubtful for us. If an umm walad (a slave woman who has borne a child to her master) loses her husband, then her waiting period (‘iddah) is the same as that of a (free) woman whose husband has died.
