Hadith 3548
اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، أَنَّ عُبَيْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَهُ ، أَنَّ أَبَاهُ كَتَبَ إِلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ الزُّهْرِيِّ يَأْمُرُهُ : أَنْ يَدْخُلَ عَلَى سُبَيْعَةَ بِنْتِ الْحَارِثِ الْأَسْلَمِيَّةِ ، فَيَسْأَلَهَا حَدِيثَهَا ، وَعَمَّا قَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ اسْتَفْتَتْهُ ، فَكَتَبَ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ يُخْبِرُهُ , أَنَّ سُبَيْعَةَ أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ تَحْتَ سَعْدِ بْنِ خَوْلَةَ وَهُوَ مِنْ بَنِي عَامِرِ بْنِ لُؤَيٍّ ، وَكَانَ مِمَّنْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا ، فَتُوُفِّيَ عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ وَهِيَ حَامِلٌ ، فَلَمْ تَنْشَبْ أَنْ وَضَعَتْ حَمْلَهَا بَعْدَ وَفَاتِهِ ، فَلَمَّا تَعَلَّتْ مِنْ نِفَاسِهَا تَجَمَّلَتْ لِلْخُطَّابِ ، فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا أَبُو السَّنَابِلِ بْنُ بَعْكَكٍ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي عَبْدِ الدَّارِ ، فَقَالَ لَهَا : مَا لِي أَرَاكِ مُتَجَمِّلَةً لَعَلَّكِ تُرِيدِينَ النِّكَاحَ ، إِنَّكِ وَاللَّهِ مَا أَنْتِ بِنَاكِحٍ حَتَّى تَمُرَّ عَلَيْكِ أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرًا ، قَالَتْ سُبَيْعَةُ : فَلَمَّا قَالَ لِي ذَلِكَ : جَمَعْتُ عَلَيَّ ثِيَابِي حِينَ أَمْسَيْتُ ، فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ ، فَأَفْتَانِي : " بِأَنِّي قَدْ حَلَلْتُ حِينَ وَضَعْتُ حَمْلِي ، وَأَمَرَنِي بِالتَّزْوِيجِ إِنْ بَدَا لِي " .
´'Ubaidullah bin 'Abdullah narrated that his father wrote to 'Umar bin 'Abdullah bin Arqam Az-Zuhri, telling him to go to Subai'ah bint Al-Harith Al-Aslamiyyah and ask her about her Hadith and what the Messenger of Allah had said to her when she consulted him. 'Umar bin 'Abdullah wrote back to 'Abdullah bin 'Utbah telling him that Subai'ah told him, that she was married to Sahl bin Khawlah -who was from Banu 'Amir bin Lu-ayy and was one of those who had been present at Badr- and her husband died during the Farewell Pilgrimage while she was pregnant. She gave birth soon after he died, and when her Nifas ended she adorned herself to receive proposals of marriage. Abu As-Sanabil bin Ba'kak -a man from Banu 'Abd Ad-Dar- went to her and said to her:` 'Why do I see you adorned? Perhaps you want to get married, but by Allah you will not get married until four months and ten days have passed.' Subai'ah said: 'When he said that to me, I put on my clothes in the evening and went to the Messenger of Allah and asked him about that. He ruled that it had become permissible for me to marry when I gave birth, and he told me to get married if I wanted to.'"

Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
Urdu marginal note:
“When you have delivered the child,” meaning that the waiting period (iddah) is completed with childbirth (delivery of the child). However, since generally marriage is not contracted during the state of postnatal bleeding (nifas), therefore in some narrations it is stated, “when you become pure…etc.” Otherwise, nifas is not included in the waiting period (iddah).

Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
Hazrat Sa'd bin Khawlah was a Muhajir (emigrant), but during the Farewell Pilgrimage (Hajjat al-Wada'), he passed away in Makkah al-Mukarramah itself. The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) also expressed sorrow over this. Radi Allahu anhu wa ardaahu.

Benefits and Issues:
➊ The meaning of preparing for marriage is that she took off the plain clothing of the waiting period (‘iddah) and put on good clothing and adorned herself.
➋ The request for a supplication of forgiveness meant that she thought she had made a mistake by breaking the restrictions of the waiting period (‘iddah) before its due time. The meaning of the statement of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) is that the waiting period (‘iddah) has ended, therefore you have not made any mistake, so do not be distressed.
