Hadith 4532

حَدَّثَنَا حِبَّانُ , حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ , أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَوْنٍ , عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ , قَالَ : جَلَسْتُ إِلَى مَجْلِسٍ فِيهِ عُظْمٌ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ , وَفِيهِمْ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي لَيْلَى , فَذَكَرْتُ حَدِيثَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ , فِي شَأْنِ سُبَيْعَةَ بِنْتِ الْحَارِثِ , فَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ : وَلَكِنَّ عَمَّهُ كَانَ لَا يَقُولُ ذَلِكَ ، فَقُلْتُ : " إِنِّي لَجَرِيءٌ إِنْ كَذَبْتُ عَلَى رَجُلٍ فِي جَانِبِ الْكُوفَةِ وَرَفَعَ صَوْتَهُ ، قَالَ : ثُمَّ خَرَجْتُ ، فَلَقِيتُ مَالِكَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ أَوْ مَالِكَ بْنَ عَوْفٍ , قُلْتُ : كَيْفَ كَانَ قَوْلُ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ , فِي الْمُتَوَفَّى عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا وَهْيَ حَامِلٌ ؟ " فَقَالَ : قَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ : " أَتَجْعَلُونَ عَلَيْهَا التَّغْلِيظَ وَلَا تَجْعَلُونَ لَهَا الرُّخْصَةَ لَنَزَلَتْ سُورَةُ النِّسَاءِ الْقُصْرَى بَعْدَ الطُّولَى " ، وَقَالَ أَيُّوبُ : عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ , لَقِيتُ أَبَا عَطِيَّةَ مَالِكَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ .
Narrated Muhammad bin Seereen: I sat in a gathering in which the chiefs of the Ansar were present, and `Abdur-Rahman bin Abu Laila was amongst them. I mentioned the narration of `Abdullah bin `Utba regarding the question of Subai'a bint Al-Harith. `Abdur-Rahman said, "But `Abdullah's uncle used not to say so." I said, "I am too brave if I tell a lie concerning a person who is now in Al-Kufa," and I raised my voice. Then I went out and met Malik bin 'Amir or Malik bin `Auf, and said, "What was the verdict of Ibn Mas`ud about the pregnant widow whose husband had died?" He replied, "Ibn Mas`ud said, 'Why do you impose on her the hard order and don't let her make use of the leave? The shorter Sura of women (i.e. Surat-at- Talaq) was revealed after the longer Sura (i.e. Surat-al-Baqara)." (i.e. Her 'Idda is up till she delivers.)
