Bayhaqi 15578 — Establishing that the womb is free (istibra')

وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الْمِهْرَجَانِيُّ، أنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، نا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، نا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، نا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الْقَاسِمَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ يَقُولُ: " إِنَّ يَزِيدَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ فَرَّقَ بَيْنَ رِجَالٍ وَنِسَائِهِمْ كُنَّ أُمَّهَاتِ أَوْلَادِ رِجَالٍ هَلَكُوا فَتَزَوَّجُوهُنَّ بَعْدَ حَيْضَةٍ وَحَيْضَتَيْنِ فَفَرَّقَ بَيْنَهُمْ حَتَّى يَعْتَدِدْنَ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرًا "، قَالَ الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ: " سُبْحَانَ اللهِ يَقُولُ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى فِي كِتَابِهِ: {وَالَّذِينَ يُتَوَفَّوْنَ مِنْكُمْ وَيَذَرُونَ أَزْوَاجًا} [البقرة: ٢٣٤] مَا هُنَّ لَهُمْ بِأَزْوَاجٍ ".
It is narrated from Yahya bin Sa'id: I heard al-Qasim bin Muhammad (may Allah have mercy on him) say that Yazid bin Abd al-Malik separated some men from their wives. They had been the mothers of children (umm walads) of men who had died, and these men married them after one or two menstrual periods. He separated them until they had observed an 'iddah of four months and ten days.
Al-Qasim bin Muhammad (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Subhan Allah (Glory be to Allah, Allah is free of all imperfection)! Allah says in His Book: "And those of you who die and leave behind wives" [Surah al-Baqarah: 234]. They were not wives to them.
