Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 7809

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Subay'ah al-Aslamiyyah bint al-Harith gave birth fifteen days after the death of her husband. A man called Abu al-Sanabil came to this woman and said: "Perhaps you are preparing to marry again. You have no right to that until the term that ends later is completed." The woman came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and told the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) what Abu al-Sanabil had said. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Abu al-Sanabil has spoken wrongly. When someone comes to you whose proposal you are pleased with, then come to me, or bring me word of him." (Here the narrator is unsure about one word.) The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) told the woman that her waiting period had ended.
Ahmad recorded it. Its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
