سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ، وَأَبَا سَلَمَةَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ اخْتَلَفَا فِي الْمَرْأَةِ تُنْفَسُ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ زَوْجِهَا بِلَيَالٍ ، فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ : آخِرُ الْأَجَلَيْنِ ، وَقَالَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ : إِذَا نُفِسَتْ فَقَدْ حَلَّتْ ، فَجَاءَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ ، فَقَالَ : أَنَا مَعَ ابْنِ أَخِي يَعْنِي : أَبَا سَلَمَةَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، فَبَعَثُوا
كُرَيْبًا مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ إِلَى
أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ يَسْأَلُهَا عَنْ ذَلِكَ ، فَجَاءَهُمْ فَأَخْبَرَهُمْ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ : " وَلَدَتْ سُبَيْعَةُ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ زَوْجِهَا بِلَيَالٍ ، فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : قَدْ حَلَلْتِ " .
´It was narrated from Sulaiman bin Yasar that 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas and Abu Salamah bin 'Abdur-Rahman disagreed concerning a woman who gave birth one day after her husband died. 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas said:` "(She should wait) for the longer of the two periods." Abu Salamah said: "When she has given birth, it becomes permissible for her to remarry." Abu Hurairah came and said: "I agree with my brother's son" -meaning Abu Salamah bin 'Abdur-Rahman. They sent Kuraib, the freed slave of Ibn 'Abbas, to Umm Salamah to ask her about that. He came back to them and told them that she said: "Subai'ah gave birth one day after her husband died;" she mentioned that to the Messenger of Allah and he said: "It has become permissible for you to marry."

Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
One should not act with partiality in any fatwa or judgment on the basis of personal inclination. If there is a risk of bias, the judge (qadi) should not preside over the case; rather, another judge who can decide impartially should hear the case.

Urdu marginal note:
Ibn Abbas radi Allahu anhu was of the opinion that the waiting period (iddah) of mourning is obligatory in every case, as well as the completion of childbirth (for a pregnant widow). However, since the statement of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was different from this, Ibn Abbas radi Allahu anhu retracted his opinion. Radi Allahu anhu wa ardaahu.
