Bayhaqi 15506 — Those who said: A widow has no right of residence

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ الثَّقَفِيُّ نا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُثَنَّى الْعَنْبَرِيُّ، نا مُوسَى بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، نا شِبْلُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ قَالَ: قَالَ عَطَاءٌ، قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا: " نَسَخَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ عِدَّتَهَا عِنْدَ أَهْلِهَا فَتَعْتَدُّ حَيْثُ شَاءَتْ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ اللهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى: {غَيْرَ إِخْرَاجٍ} [البقرة: ٢٤٠] " قَالَ عَطَاءٌ: إِنْ شَاءَتِ اعْتَدَّتْ عِنْدَ أَهْلِهَا أَوْ سَكَنَتْ فِي وَصِيَّتِهَا، وَإِنْ شَاءَتْ خَرَجَتْ لِقَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى: {فَإِنْ خَرَجْنَ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْكُمْ فِيمَا فَعَلْنَ فِي أَنْفُسِهِنَّ} قَالَ عَطَاءٌ: ثُمَّ جَاءَ الْمِيرَاثُ فَنُسِخَ مِنْهُ السُّكْنَى تَعْتَدُّ حَيْثُ شَاءَتْ.
It is narrated from Ibn Abi Najih that Ata' said that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: This verse abrogated her spending the 'iddah with his family. She may spend the 'iddah wherever she wishes, and that is the saying of Allah Almighty: 'without turning them out' [Surah al-Baqarah: 240]. Ata' said: If she wishes, she may spend the 'iddah with his family or in the place in which she was bequeathed residence, and if she wishes she may leave, on the basis of this saying of Allah Almighty: 'But if they leave, there is no blame upon you for what they do with themselves' [Surah al-Baqarah: 240]. Ata' said: Then (the verses of) inheritance came and abrogated the residence; she may spend the 'iddah wherever she wishes.
