Hadith 3551

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ ، قَالَ : كُنْتُ جَالِسًا فِي نَاسٍ بِالْكُوفَةِ فِي مَجْلِسٍ لِلْأَنْصَارِ عَظِيمٍ ، فِيهِمْ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي لَيْلَى ، فَذَكَرُوا شَأْنَ سُبَيْعَة فَذَكَرْتُ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ، فِي مَعْنَى قَوْلِ ابْنِ عَوْنٍ : حَتَّى تَضَعَ ، قَالَ : ابْنُ أَبِي لَيْلَى : لَكِنَّ عَمَّهُ لَا يَقُولُ ذَلِكَ ، فَرَفَعْتُ صَوْتِي ، وَقُلْتُ : إِنِّي لَجَرِيءٌ أَنْ أَكْذِبَ عَلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ وَهُوَ فِي نَاحِيَةِ الْكُوفَةِ ، قَالَ : فَلَقِيتُ مَالِكًا ، قُلْتُ : كَيْفَ كَانَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ يَقُولُ فِي شَأْنِ سُبَيْعَةَ ؟ قَالَ : قَالَ : " أَتَجْعَلُونَ عَلَيْهَا التَّغْلِيظَ ، وَلَا تَجْعَلُونَ لَهَا الرُّخْصَةَ ؟ لَأُنْزِلَتْ : سُورَةُ النِّسَاءِ الْقُصْرَى بَعْدَ الطُّولَى " .
´It was narrated that Muhammad said:` "I was sitting with some people in Al-Kufah in a large gathering of the Ansar, among whom was 'Abdur-Rahman bin Abi Laila. They spoke about the story of Subai'ah and I mentioned what 'Abdullah bin 'Utbah bin Mas'ud had said in meaning." (One of the narrators) Ibn 'Awn's saying was: "when she gives birth." Ibn Abi Layla said: 'But his (paternal) uncle did not say that.' I raised my voice and said: 'Would I dare to tell lies about 'Abdullah bin 'Utbah when he is in the vicinity of Al-Kufah?'" He said: "Then I met Malik and said: 'What did Ibn Mas'ud say about the story of Subai'ah?' He said: 'He said: "Are you going to be too strict with her and not allow her the concession (with regard to the 'Iddah)? The shorter Surah about women (At-Talaq) was revealed after the longer one (Al-Baqarah)."'"
