Hadith 615

أَخْبَرَنَا النَّضْرُ، نا صَالِحُ بْنُ أَبِي الْأَخْضَرِ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُتْبَةَ كَتَبَ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْأَرْقَمِ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ عَلَى سُبَيْعَةَ فَيَسْأَلَهَا عَنْ مَا أَفْتَاهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَزَعَمَتْ أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ عِنْدَ زَوْجِهَا سَعْدِ ابْنِ خَوْلَةَ، فَتُوُفِّيَ عَنْهَا عَامَ حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ وَهِيَ حُبْلَى، فَوَضَعَتْ حَمْلَهَا بَعْدَ لَيَالٍ، فَلَمَّا وَضَعَتْ تَجَمَّلَتْ، فَمَرَّ بِهَا أَبُو السَّنَابِلِ، فَقَالَ لَهَا: لَعَلَّكِ تَرْجِينَ النِّكَاحَ، لَا وَاللَّهِ حَتَّى يَمُرَّ بِكِ أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرٌ مِنْ وَفَاةِ زَوْجِكِ، فَأَتَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لَهُ، فَقَالَ لَهَا: ((قَدْ حَلَلْتِ)).
It is narrated from Ubaidullah bin Abdullah bin Utbah that Abdullah bin Utbah wrote a letter to Abdullah bin Arqam, asking him to go to Sabi’ah (may Allah be pleased with her) and inquire from her about the fatwa that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had given her. She had given birth to a child just a few days later. When she gave birth to the child, she adorned herself. Abu As-Sanabil (may Allah be pleased with him) passed by her and said to her: “Perhaps you wish to get married. By Allah! No, not until four months and ten days have passed since your husband’s death.” So she went to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and mentioned this to him, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her: “You have completed your waiting period (‘iddah).”
