أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ ابْنِ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ مَالِکٍ عَنْ يَحْيَی بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَبَّاسٍ وَأَبَا سَلَمَةَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ اخْتَلَفَا فِي الْمَرْأَةِ تُنْفَسُ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ زَوْجِهَا بِلَيَالٍ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ آخِرُ الْأَجَلَيْنِ وَقَالَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ إِذَا نُفِسَتْ فَقَدْ حَلَّتْ فَجَائَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ فَقَالَ أَنَا مَعَ ابْنِ أَخِي يَعْنِي أَبَا سَلَمَةَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ فَبَعَثُوا کُرَيْبًا مَوْلَی ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ إِلَی أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ يَسْأَلُهَا عَنْ ذَلِکَ فَجَائَهُمْ فَأَخْبَرَهُمْ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ وَلَدَتْ سُبَيْعَةُ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ زَوْجِهَا بِلَيَالٍ فَذَکَرَتْ ذَلِکَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ قَدْ حَلَلْتِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 3547
It was narrated from Sulaiman bin Yasir that Abu Hurairah, Ibn ‘Abbas, and Abu Salamah bin ‘Abdur Rahman were talking about the ‘iddah of a woman whose husband dies, and she gives birth after her husband dies. Ibn ‘Abbas said: “She should observe ‘Iddah for the longer of the two periods.” Abu Salamah said: “No, it becomes permissible for her to marry when she has given birth.” Abu Hurairah said: “I agree with my brother’s son.” So they sent word to Umm Salamah, the wife of the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم , and she said: “Subai’ah Al-Aslamiyyah gave birth shortly after her husband died; she consulted the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم ,and he told her to get married.” (Sahih)
