أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِکِ بْنُ شُعَيْبِ بْنِ اللَّيْثِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ جَدِّي قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي جَعْفَرُ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ هُرْمُزَ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَنَّ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتَ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ أَخْبَرَتْهُ عَنْ أُمِّهَا أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّ امْرَأَةً مِنْ أَسْلَمَ يُقَالُ لَهَا سُبَيْعَةُ کَانَتْ تَحْتَ زَوْجِهَا فَتُوُفِّيَ عَنْهَا وَهِيَ حُبْلَی فَخَطَبَهَا أَبُو السَّنَابِلِ بْنُ بَعْکَکٍ فَأَبَتْ أَنْ تَنْکِحَهُ فَقَالَ مَا يَصْلُحُ لَکِ أَنْ تَنْکِحِي حَتَّی تَعْتَدِّي آخِرَ الْأَجَلَيْنِ فَمَکَثَتْ قَرِيبًا مِنْ عِشْرِينَ لَيْلَةً ثُمَّ نُفِسَتْ فَجَائَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ انْکِحِي
سنن نسائی · Hadith 3549
;It was narrated from Sulaiman bin Yasar that ‘Abdullah bin ‘Abbas and Abu Salamah bin Abdur disagreed concerning a woman who gave birth one day after her husband died. ‘Abdullah bin ‘Abbas said:“(She should wait) for the longer of the two periods.” Abu Salamah said: “When she has given birth, it becomes permissible for her to remarry.” Abu Hurairah came and said: “I agree with my brother’s son” — meaning Abu Salamah bin ‘Abdur-Rahman. They sent Kuraib, the freed slave of Ibn ‘Abbas, to Umm Salamah to ask her about that. He came back to them and told them that she said: “Subai’ah gave birth one day after her husband died;” she mentioned that to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم and he said: “It has become permissible for you to marry.” (Sahih).
