في المتوفى عنها من قال: تعتد في بيتهاThose Scholars Who Hold That a Widow Should Observe Her Waiting Period in Her Husband's House
Hadith 19949
١٩٩٤٩ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: نا ابن علية عن أيوب عن يوسف بن ماهك عن أمه (مسيكة) (١) أن امرأة زارت أهلها، وهي في عدة (فتمخضت) (٢) (عندهن) (٣)، (فبعثوني) (٤) إلى عثمان بعد (ما) (٥) صلى العشاء وأخذ مضجعه فقلت: إن فلانة زارت أهلها، وهي في عدتها، وهي (تمخض) (٦) فما تأمرني؟ (قال) (٧): (فآمر ⦗٣٨٤⦘ بها) (٨) أن تحمل إلى (بيتها) (٩) في تلك الحال (١٠).
Hazrat Maseekah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that a woman, during her waiting period (‘iddah), went to visit her family. There, the time for her child’s birth drew near. The people there sent me to Hazrat Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) so that I could ask him about this matter. At that time, he had performed the ‘Isha prayer and had gone to his bed. I said to him that such-and-such woman, during her ‘iddah, had gone to visit her family and there she began to experience labor pains. What ruling do you give regarding her? He replied that she should be taken to her home in that very condition.
