سنن نسائی · Hadith 3552
Abu Salamah bin ‘Abdur Rahman said: “While Abu Hurairah and I were with Ibn ‘Abbas, a woman came and said that her husband had died while she was pregnant, then she had given birth less than four months after the day he died. Ibn ‘Abbas said: ‘(You have to wait) for the longer of the two periods.” Abu Salamah said: “A man from among the Companions of the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم told me that Subai’ah Al-Aslamiyyah came to the esseger of Allah and said that her husband died while she was pregnant and she gave birth less than four months after he died. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم told her to get married. Abu Hurairah said: ‘And I bear witness to that.” (Sahih)
