Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 30995 — Book of the Judgments

Masruq says that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked about a man who married a woman and then died, without having consummated the marriage with her or having fixed her dower. What is to happen now? Sayyiduna Abdullah said: "She shall receive the dower of her peers and she shall also receive inheritance, and the waiting period ('iddah) is also obligatory upon her." At this Sayyiduna Ma'qil bin Sinan (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I was present with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave exactly this judgment concerning Sayyidah Birwa' bint Washiq (may Allah be pleased with her)."
