حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَی بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ حَدَّثَنَا شِبْلٌ عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ قَالَ قَالَ عَطَائٌ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ نَسَخَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ عِدَّتَهَا عِنْدَ أَهْلِهَا فَتَعْتَدُّ حَيْثُ شَائَتْ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ تَعَالَی غَيْرَ إِخْرَاجٍ قَالَ عَطَائٌ إِنْ شَائَتْ اعْتَدَّتْ عِنْدَ أَهْلِهِ وَسَکَنَتْ فِي وَصِيَّتِهَا وَإِنْ شَائَتْ خَرَجَتْ لِقَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَی فَإِنْ خَرَجْنَ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْکُمْ فِيمَا فَعَلْنَ قَالَ عَطَائٌ ثُمَّ جَائَ الْمِيرَاثُ فَنَسَخَ السُّکْنَی تَعْتَدُّ حَيْثُ شَائَتْ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2301
Ibn Abbas said “The following verse abrogated the rule of passing her waiting period with her people. A year’s maintenance and residence. She may pass her waiting period now anywhere she wishes. Ata said “If she wishes she can pass her waiting period with the people of her husband and live in the house left by her husband by will. Or she may shift if she wishes according to the pronouncement of Allah the Exalted. But if they leave (the residence) there is no blame on you for what they do. Ata’ said “Then the verses regarding inheritance were revealed. The commandment for living in a house (for one year) was repealed. She may pass her waiting period wherever she wishes.
