وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، نا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ الطَّرَائِفِيُّ، نا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، نا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، نا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا فِي هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ قَالَ: " كَانَ الرَّجُلُ إِذَا مَاتَ وَتَرَكَ امْرَأَتَهُ اعْتَدَّتِ السَّنَةَ فِي بَيْتِهِ يُنْفِقُ عَلَيْهَا مِنْ مَالِهِ ثُمَّ أَنْزَلَ اللهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ {وَالَّذِينَ يُتَوَفَّوْنَ مِنْكُمْ وَيَذَرُونَ أَزْوَاجًا يَتَرَبَّصْنَ بِأَنْفُسِهِنَّ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرًا} [البقرة: ٢٣٤] فَهَذِهِ عِدَّةُ الْمُتَوَفَّى عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا إِلَّا أَنْ تَكُونَ حَامِلًا فَعِدَّتُهَا أَنْ تَضَعَ مَا فِي بَطْنِهَا، وَقَالَ فِي مِيرَاثِهَا {وَلَهُنَّ الرُّبُعُ مِمَّا تَرَكْتُمْ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَكُمْ وَلَدٌ فَإِنْ كَانَ لَكُمْ وَلَدٌ فَلَهُنَّ الثُّمُنُ} [النساء: ١٢] فَبَيَّنَ اللهُ مِيرَاثَ الْمَرْأَةِ وَتَرَكَ الْوَصِيَّةَ وَالنَّفَقَةَ ".
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said concerning this very verse: When a man died and left his wife, she would observe her waiting period for a year in his house, and they would spend on her from his wealth. Then Allah Almighty revealed this verse: 'And those of you who die and leave behind wives, they shall wait concerning themselves for four months and ten days.' [Surah al-Baqarah: 234]
This became the waiting period of the woman whose husband dies, except the pregnant woman, whose waiting period is until she gives birth to what is in her womb.
And concerning her inheritance He said: 'And for them is a quarter of what you leave if you have no child; but if you have a child, then for them is an eighth.' [Surah al-Nisa: 12] Allah Almighty made clear the inheritance of the woman and left out the bequest and the maintenance.
