أَخْبَرَنَا
أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ
ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ
أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ
جَابِرٍ، قَالَ: طُلِّقَتْ خَالَتِي فَأَرَادَتْ أَنْ تَجُدَّ نَخْلًا لَهَا، فَقَالَ لَهَا رَجُلٌ: لَيْسَ لَكِ أَنْ تَخْرُجِين، قَالَتْ: فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ، فَقَالَ:
"اخْرُجِي فَجُدِّي نَخْلَكِ، فَلَعَلَّكِ أَنْ تَصَدَّقِي أَوْ تَصْنَعِي مَعْرُوفًا".
Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: My maternal aunt was divorced, and she intended to pick fruit from her orchard. One of the companions said to her that she could not leave the house during her waiting period (‘iddah). She said: I went to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and mentioned this. He (peace be upon him) said: "Go and pick the dates from your orchard, for perhaps you may give them in charity or use them for a good purpose."
