حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيد ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاق ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَتْنِي زَيْنَبُ بِنْتُ كَعْبٍ ، عَنْ فُرَيْعَةَ بِنْتِ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَتْ : خَرَجَ زَوْجِي فِي طَلَبِ أَعْلَاجٍ لَه ، فَأَدْرَكَهُمْ بِطَرَفِ الْقَدُومِ ، فَقَتَلُوهُ ، فَأَتَانِي نَعْيُهُ وَأَنَا فِي دَارٍ شَاسِعَةٍ مِنْ دُورِ أَهْلِي ، فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ ، فَقُلْتُ : إِنَّ نَعْيَ زَوْجِي أَتَانِي فِي دَارٍ شَاسِعَةٍ مِنْ دُورِ أَهْلِي ، وَلَمْ يَدَعْ لِي نَفَقَة ، وَلَا مَالًا لِوَرَثَتِه ، وَلَيْسَ الْمَسْكَنُ لَهُ ، فَلَوْ تَحَوَّلْتُ إِلَى أَهْلِي وَأَخْوَالِي ، لَكَانَ أَرْفَقَ بِي فِي بَعْضِ شَأْنِي ، قَالَ : " تَحَوَّلِي " ، فَلَمَّا خَرَجْتُ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ أَوْ إِلَى الْحُجْرَةِ , دَعَانِي أَوْ أَمَرَ بِي فَدُعِيتُ , فَقَالَ : " امْكُثِي فِي بَيْتِكِ الَّذِي أَتَاكِ فِيهِ نَعْيُ زَوْجِكِ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ الْكِتَابُ أَجَلَه " ، قَالَتْ : فَاعْتَدَدْتُ فِيهِ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرًا ، قَالَتْ : فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ عُثْمَان ، فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ ، فَأَخَذَ بِهِ .
It is narrated from Hazrat Fari’ah (may Allah be pleased with her) that once my husband set out in search of some of his non-Arab slaves. He found them at the bank of Qadoom, but all of them together killed him. When the news of my husband’s death reached me, I was living in a house far from my family. I presented myself before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and mentioned this incident, saying that I had received the news of my husband’s death and I was living in a house far from my family. My husband had left neither any provision nor any wealth for inheritance, nor did he have any house. If I go to my family and brothers, it would be easier for me in some matters. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Go.” But when I was about to leave the mosque or the chamber, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called me and said that you should observe your waiting period (‘iddah) in the same house where the news of your husband’s death reached you, until the ‘iddah is completed. So I spent four months and ten days there. Once, Hazrat Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) also asked me about this hadith, which I narrated to him, and he accepted it.
