It is narrated from Abu Salamah bin Abd al-Rahman (may Allah have mercy on him) that he, Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) and Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) were holding a scholarly discussion, and the woman whose husband dies while she is pregnant was mentioned among them. Abu Salamah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "When she gives birth, she becomes lawful (for marriage)." At this Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "The term of her becoming lawful is the later (the longer) of the two periods." Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I am with my nephew, that is, with the position of Abu Salamah (may Allah have mercy on him)." So they sent Kurayb (may Allah have mercy on him), the freed slave of Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), to the Mother of the Believers Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) to ask her about this matter. Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "Sayyidah Subay'ah bint al-Harith al-Aslamiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) gave birth only a few nights after the death of her husband. Then a man from Banu Abd al-Dar, whose kunyah was Abu al-Sanabil, proposed marriage to her and told her that she had become lawful. But when she intended to marry someone else, Abu al-Sanabil said to her: 'You have not yet become lawful.' So Sayyidah Subay'ah (may Allah be pleased with her) came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and mentioned this situation to him (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered her to marry (whomever she wished)."
