أَخْبَرَنِي
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا
يَزِيدُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ زُرَيْعٍ , قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا
حَجَّاجٌ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا
يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي
أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، قَالَ : قِيلَ لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فِي امْرَأَةٍ وَضَعَتْ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ زَوْجِهَا بِعِشْرِينَ لَيْلَةً : أَيَصْلُحُ لَهَا أَنْ تَزَوَّجَ ؟ قَالَ : لَا ، إِلَّا آخِرَ الْأَجَلَيْنِ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : قَالَ : اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى : وَأُولاتُ الأَحْمَالِ أَجَلُهُنَّ أَنْ يَضَعْنَ حَمْلَهُنَّ سورة الطلاق آية 4 ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّمَا ذَلِكَ فِي الطَّلَاقِ ، فَقَالَ : أَنَا مَعَ ابْنِ أَخِي يَعْنِي أَبَا سَلَمَةَ ، فَأَرْسَلَ غُلَامَهُ
كُرَيْبًا ، فَقَالَ : ائْتِ
أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ فَسَلْهَا : هَلْ كَانَ هَذَا سُنَّةٌ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ فَجَاءَ ، فَقَالَ : قَالَتْ : " نَعَمْ ، سُبَيْعَةُ الْأَسْلَمِيَّةُ وَضَعَتْ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ زَوْجِهَا بِعِشْرِينَ لَيْلَةً ، فَأَمَرَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَنْ تَزَوَّجَ ، فَكَانَ أَبُو السَّنَابِلِ فِيمَنْ يَخْطُبُهَا " .
´Abu Salamah bin 'Abdur-Rahman said:` "It was said to Ibn 'Abbas concerning a woman who gives birth one day after her husband died: 'Can she get married?' He said: 'No, not until the longer of the two periods has ended.' He said: 'Allah says: And for those who are pregnant (whether they are divorced or their husbands are dead), their 'Iddah (prescribed period) is until they lay down their burden.' He said: 'That only applies in the case of divorce.' Abu Hurairah said: 'I agree with my brother's son' --meaning, Abu Salamah. He sent his slave Kuraib and told him: 'Go to Umm Salamah and ask her: Was this the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah?' He came back and said: 'Yes, Subai'ah Al-Aslamiyyah gave birth twenty days after her husband died, and the Messenger of Allah told her to get married, and Abu As-Sanabil was one of those who proposed marriage to her.'"
