قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: قَالَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: {وَالَّذِينَ يُتَوَفَّوْنَ مِنْكُمْ وَيَذَرُونَ أَزْوَاجًا وَصِيَّةً لِأَزْوَاجِهِمْ مَتَاعًا إِلَى الْحَوْلِ غَيْرَ إِخْرَاجٍ فَإِنْ خَرَجْنَ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْكُمْ فِيمَا فَعَلْنَ فِي أَنْفُسِهِنَّ} قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ: حَفِظْتُ عَنْ غَيْرِ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ بِالْقُرْآنِ أَنَّ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ نَزَلَتْ قَبْلَ نُزُولِ آيِ الْمَوَارِيثِ وَأَنَّهَا مَنْسُوخَةٌ وَأَنَّ اللهَ أَثْبَتَ عَلَيْهَا عِدَّةَ أَرْبَعَةِ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرًا لَيْسَ لَهَا الْخِيَارُ فِي الْخُرُوجِ مِنْهَا وَلَا النِّكَاحُ قَبْلَهَا.
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, says: 'And those of you who die and leave behind wives should make a bequest for their wives: provision for a year without turning them out (of the home); but if they leave (of their own accord), there is no sin upon you for what they do with themselves (in a recognized manner).' [Surah al-Baqarah: 240]"
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "I have preserved from more than one of the people of knowledge of the Qur'an that this verse was revealed before the revelation of the verses of inheritance and that it is abrogated, and that Allah Almighty made binding upon her (the widow) a waiting period of four months and ten days; she has no choice to leave it, nor to marry before it (ends)."
