Ubaydullah bin Abdullah bin Utbah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from his father that Subay'ah bint al-Harith al-Aslamiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) gave birth a few nights after the death of her husband. Abu al-Sanabil bin Ba'kak (may Allah be pleased with him) passed by her and said: You have adorned yourself for those who would propose marriage; the waiting period is four months and ten days. Subay'ah (may Allah be pleased with her) mentioned this to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Abu al-Sanabil has spoken falsely," or he said: "It is not as Abu al-Sanabil says; you have become lawful, so you may marry." These are the words of the hadith of Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him).
The hadith of Sa'dan is abridged: Subay'ah bint al-Harith (may Allah be pleased with her) gave birth a month or less after the death of her husband, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered her: "Marry." [Sahih]
This narration is mursal, and the connected (mawsul) narrations before it suffice.
