Hadith 952
وعن فريعة بنت مالك أن زوجها خرج في طلب أعبد له فقتلوه . قالت : فسألت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم أن أرجع إلى أهلي فإن زوجي لم يترك لي مسكنا يملكه ولا نفقة فقال : « نعم » فلما كنت في الحجرة ناداني فقال : « امكثي في بيتك حتى يبلغ الكتاب أجله » قالت : فاعتددت فيه أربعة أشهر وعشرا قالت : فقضى به بعد ذلك عثمان . أخرجه أحمد والأربعة وصححه الترمذي والذهلي وابن حبان والحاكم وغيرهم.
Narrated Furai'ah, daughter of Malik: Her husband had gone out in search of some slaves of his and they killed him. She said, "I asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) to be allowed to return to my family, for my husband had not left for me a house which belonged to him, nor had he left me maintenance." He then said, "Yes, (I agree)," but when I was in the courtyard, he called me and said, "Stay in your house till the prescribed period expires." She said, "I observed the period in it for four months and ten days." She said, "Afterwards 'Uthman gave judgements in accordance with that." [Ahmad an al-Arba'a reported it. at-Tirmidhi, adh-Dhuhli, Ibn Hibban, al-Hakim and others graded it Sahih (authentic)].
