أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَعِيلَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا وَرْقَائُ عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ قَالَ عَطَائٌ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ نَسَخَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ عِدَّتَهَا فِي أَهْلِهَا فَتَعْتَدُّ حَيْثُ شَائَتْ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ غَيْرَ إِخْرَاجٍ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 3564
It was narrated from Al Furai’ah bint Malik that her husband hired some slaves to work for him and they killed him. She mentioned that to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم and said: “I am not living in a house that belongs to him, and I do not receive maintenance from him; should I move to my family with my two and stay with them?” He said: “Do that.” Then he said: did you say?” So she told him again and he said: “Observe your ‘Iddah where the news came to you.” (Sahih)
