Hadith 3991
وَقَالَ اللَّيْثُ : حَدَّثَنِي يُونُسُ ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، قَالَ :حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ ، أَنَّ أَبَاهُ كَتَبَ إِلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْأَرْقَمِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، يَأْمُرُهُ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ عَلَى سُبَيْعَةَ بِنْتِ الْحَارِثِ الْأَسْلَمِيَّةِ فَيَسْأَلَهَا عَنْ حَدِيثِهَا وَعَنْ مَا قَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ اسْتَفْتَتْهُ , فَكَتَبَ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْأَرْقَمِ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ يُخْبِرُهُ أَنَّ سُبَيْعَةَ بِنْتَ الْحَارِثِ أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ تَحْتَ سَعْدِ بْنِ خَوْلَةَ وَهُوَ مِنْ بَنِي عَامِرِ بْنِ لُؤَيٍّ وَكَانَ مِمَّنْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا , فَتُوُفِّيَ عَنْهَا 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 تَجَمَّلْتِ لِلْخُطَّابِ تُرَجِّينَ النِّكَاحَ , فَإِنَّكِ وَاللَّهِ مَا أَنْتِ بِنَاكِحٍ حَتَّى تَمُرَّ عَلَيْكِ أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرٌ ، قَالَتْ سُبَيْعَةُ : فَلَمَّا ، قَالَ لِي : ذَلِكَ جَمَعْتُ عَلَيَّ ثِيَابِي حِينَ أَمْسَيْتُ , وَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ " فَأَفْتَانِي بِأَنِّي قَدْ حَلَلْتُ حِينَ وَضَعْتُ حَمْلِي وَأَمَرَنِي بِالتَّزَوُّجِ إِنْ بَدَا لِي " . تَابَعَهُ أَصْبَغُ ، عَنْ ابْنِ وَهْبٍ ، عَنْ يُونُسَ ، وَقَالَ اللَّيْثُ : حَدَّثَنِي يُونُسُ ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ وَسَأَلْنَاهُ ، فَقَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ ثَوْبَانَ مَوْلَى بَنِي عَامِرِ بْنِ لُؤَيٍّ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ إِيَاسِ بْنِ الْبُكَيْرِ ، وَكَانَ أَبُوهُ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا أَخْبَرَهُ " .
Narrated Subaia bint Al-Harith: That she was married to Sad bin Khaula who was from the tribe of Bani 'Amr bin Luai, and was one of those who fought the Badr battle. He died while she wa pregnant during Hajjat-ul-Wada.' Soon after his death, she gave birth to a child. When she completed the term of deliver (i.e. became clean), she prepared herself for suitors. Abu As-Sanabil bin Bu'kak, a man from the tribe of Bani Abd-ud-Dal called on her and said to her, "What! I see you dressed up for the people to ask you in marriage. Do you want to marry By Allah, you are not allowed to marry unless four months and ten days have elapsed (after your husband's death)." Subai'a in her narration said, "When he (i.e. Abu As-Sanabil) said this to me. I put on my dress in the evening and went to Allah's Apostle and asked him about this problem. He gave the verdict that I was free to marry as I had already given birth to my child and ordered me to marry if I wished."
Hadith 4910
وَقَالَ :سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، وَأَبُو النُّعْمَانِ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ ، قَالَ : كُنْتُ فِي حَلْقَةٍ فِيهَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي لَيْلَى ، وَكَانَ أَصْحَابُهُ يُعَظِّمُونَهُ ، فَذَكَرُوا لَهُ ، فَذَكَرَ آخِرَ الْأَجَلَيْنِ ، فَحَدَّثْتُ بِحَدِيثِ سُبَيْعَةَ بِنْتِ الْحَارِثِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ ، قَالَ : فَضَمَّزَ لِي بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِهِ ، قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ : فَفَطِنْتُ لَهُ ، فَقُلْتُ : إِنِّي إِذًا لَجَرِيءٌ إِنْ كَذَبْتُ عَلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ وَهُوَ فِي نَاحِيَةِ الْكُوفَةِ فَاسْتَحْيَا ، وَقَالَ : لَكِنْ عَمُّهُ لَمْ يَقُلْ ذَاكَ ، فَلَقِيتُ أَبَا عَطِيَّةَ مَالِكَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ ، فَسَأَلْتُهُ ، فَذَهَبَ يُحَدِّثُنِي حَدِيثَ سُبَيْعَةَ ، فَقُلْتُ : هَلْ سَمِعْتَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ فِيهَا شَيْئًا ؟ فَقَالَ : كُنَّا عِنْدَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، فَقَالَ : أَتَجْعَلُونَ عَلَيْهَا التَّغْلِيظَ وَلَا تَجْعَلُونَ عَلَيْهَا الرُّخْصَةَ لَنَزَلَتْ سُورَةُ النِّسَاءِ الْقُصْرَى بَعْدَ الطُّولَى وَأُولاتُ الأَحْمَالِ أَجَلُهُنَّ أَنْ يَضَعْنَ حَمْلَهُنَّ سورة الطلاق آية 4 .
And Sulaiman bin Harb and Al-Nu’man narrated that Hammad bin Zaid narrated to us, from Ayyub, and from him Muhammad bin Sirin narrated that:
I was present in a gathering in which Abdur Rahman bin Abi Laila was also present. His students used to respect him greatly. There, I narrated the statement of Sabi’ah bint Al-Harith from Abdullah bin Utbah bin Mas’ud, upon which one of his students warned me by biting his lip and making gestures with his tongue and eyes. Muhammad bin Sirin narrated that I understood and said that Abdullah bin Utbah is still alive in Kufa. If I attribute a lie to him, it would be a great boldness. The person who warned me became embarrassed at this, and Abdur Rahman bin Abi Laila said, “But his uncle did not say this.” (Ibn Sirin narrated that) Then I met Abu Atiyyah Malik bin Amir and asked him about this issue. He also began to narrate the hadith of Sabi’ah, but I asked him, “Have you also heard anything about this from Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him)?” He narrated that we were present in the service of Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him), so he said, “Do you want to be harsh on her (whose husband has died and she is pregnant, by prolonging the period of waiting) and are not ready to grant ease and concession? The fact is that the small Surah An-Nisa (i.e., Surah At-Talaq) was revealed after the big Surah An-Nisa, and he said «وأولات الأحمال أجلهن أن يضعن حملهن» the verse, and the waiting period for pregnant women is until they deliver their pregnancy.”

Hadith 5319
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ ، عَنْ اللَّيْثِ ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ ، أَنَّ ابْنَ شِهَابٍ كَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ ، أَنَّ عُبَيْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَخْبَرَهُ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، أَنَّهُ كَتَبَ إِلَى ابْنِ الْأَرْقَمِ أَنْ يَسْأَلَ سُبَيْعَةَ الْأَسْلَمِيَّةَ ، " كَيْفَ أَفْتَاهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ فَقَالَتْ : أَفْتَانِي إِذَا وَضَعْتُ أَنْ أَنْكِحَ " .
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Abdullah: that his father had written to Ibn Al-Arqam a letter asking him to ask Subai'a Al-Aslamiya how the Prophet had given her the verdict. She said, "The Prophet, gave me his verdict that after I gave birth, I could marry."
