أَخْبَرَنَا
يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَخْبَرَنَا
يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، أَنَّ
سُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ يَسَارٍ أَخْبَرَهُ، أَنَّ
أَبَا سَلَمَةَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَخْبَرَهُ: أَنَّهُ اجْتَمَعَ هُوَ
وَابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ عِنْدَ
أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ فَذَكَرُوا الرَّجُلَ يُتَوَفَّى عَنِ الْمَرْأَةِ فَتَلِدُ بَعْدَهُ بِلَيَالٍ قَلَائِلَ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: حِلُّهَا آخِرُ الْأَجَلَيْنِ . وَقَالَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ: إِذَا وَضَعَتْ، فَقَدْ حَلَّتْ، فَتَرَاجَعَا فِي ذَلِكَ بَيْنَهُمَا، فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ: أَنَا مَعَ ابْنِ أَخِي يَعْنِي أَبَا سَلَمَةَ، فَبَعَثُوا
كُرَيْبًا مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ إِلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ فَسَأَلَهَا، فَذَكَرَتْ
أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ،"أَنَّ سُبَيْعَةَ بِنْتَ الْحَارِثِ الْأَسْلَمِيَّةَ مَاتَ عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا، فَنَفِسَتْ بَعْدَهُ بِلَيَالٍ وَأَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي عَبْدِ الدَّارِ يُكْنَى أَبَا السَّنَابِلِ خَطَبَهَا، وَأَخْبَرَهَا أَنَّهَا قَدْ حَلَّتْ فَأَرَادَتْ أَنْ تَتَزَوَّجَ غَيْرَهُ، فَقَالَ لَهَا أَبُو السَّنَابِلِ: فَإِنَّكِ لَمْ تَحِلِّينَ، فَذَكَرَتْ سُبَيْعَةُ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
فَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَتَزَوَّجَ".
Abu Salamah bin Abdur Rahman reported that he and Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) gathered with Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), and the discussion was about a (pregnant) woman whose husband had passed away and she gave birth after only a few days. Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: Her waiting period (‘iddah) will be whichever is longer, and Abu Salamah said: When she gives birth, she becomes lawful (i.e., her ‘iddah is over and she can marry). There was a dispute between them about this, so Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I am with my nephew Abu Salamah. Then he sent Kuraib, the freed slave of Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), to Umm al-Mu’minin Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) and asked her this question. Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) informed that Sayyidah Subai’ah bint al-Harith al-Aslamiyyah’s (may Allah be pleased with her) husband had passed away and after a few days she experienced postnatal bleeding (i.e., blood flowed after childbirth), and a man from Banu Abd al-Dar whose kunyah was Abu Sanabil proposed marriage to Sayyidah Subai’ah (may Allah be pleased with her) and informed her that (after childbirth) she had become lawful for marriage, and Sayyidah Subai’ah (may Allah be pleased with her) intended to marry another man instead of him. So Abu Sanabil said: You have not become lawful. Thus, she went to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and mentioned this incident, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded her: “She may marry.”
