Abu Salamah says that once there was a difference of opinion between Abu Hurairah and Ibn Abbas regarding a woman whose husband passes away and she gives birth to a child. They sent a messenger to Umm Salamah, so she said that the husband of Sabi’ah bint Harith had passed away, and only fifteen days, that is, half a month after his death, she gave birth to a child. She came to the Prophet (peace be upon him), and the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "You have become lawful, so you may marry whomever you wish."
