[Machine] Marwan bin Abdullah ibn Uthbah sent a message to Subay'ah bint Al-Harith, asking her about what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had given her. She informed him that she was under the guardianship of Saad ibn Khwala, but he passed away during the Farewell Hajj. She said that she had given birth to her child before four and ten months had passed since his death. Abu As-Sanabil, Ibn Ba'kkak, met her when she was experiencing postpartum bleeding and had applied kohl. He told her to wait for forty menstrual periods or their equivalent before considering marriage again. She then went to the Prophet ﷺ and informed him about what Abu As-Sanabil had said. The Prophet ﷺ told her that she was allowed to remarry as soon as she completed her postpartum bleeding.  

أَرْسَلَ مَرْوَانُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عُتْبَةَ إِلَى سُبَيْعَةَ بِنْتِ الْحَارِثِ يَسْأَلُهَا عَمَّا أَفْتَاهَا بِهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ تَحْتَ سَعْدِ ابْنِ خَوْلَةَ فَتُوُفِّيَ عَنْهَا فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ وَكَانَ بَدْرِيًّا فَوَضَعَتْ حَمْلَهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ تَنْقَضِيَ أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرٌ مِنْ وَفَاتِهِ فَلَقِيَهَا أَبُو السَّنَابِلِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ بَعْكَكٍ حِينَ تَعَلَّتْ مِنْ نِفَاسِهَا وَقَدْ اكْتَحَلَتْ فَقَالَ لَهَا ارْبَعِي عَلَى نَفْسِكِ أَوْ نَحْوَ هَذَا لَعَلَّكِ تُرِيدِينَ النِّكَاحَ إِنَّهَا أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرٌ مِنْ وَفَاةِ زَوْجِكِ قَالَتْ فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرْتُ لَهُ مَا قَالَ أَبُو السَّنَابِلِ بْنُ بَعْكَكٍ فَقَالَ لَهَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ قَدْ حَلَلْتِ حِينَ وَضَعْتِ حَمْلَكِ  

[Machine] Indeed, Abdullah bin Uthaba wrote to Abdullah bin al-Arqam, commanding him to enter upon Subay'ah bint al-Harith and ask her about what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had taught her. She claimed that she had been under the guardianship of Saad ibn Khawla, so he mentioned the matter.  

إِنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عُتْبَةَ كَتَبَ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْأَرْقَمِ يَأْمُرُهُ أَنْيَدْخُلَ عَلَى سُبَيْعَةَ بِنْتِ الْحَارِثِ يَسْأَلُهُمَا عَمَّا أَفْتَاهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَزَعَمَتْ أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ تَحْتَ سَعْدِ ابْنِ خَوْلَةَ فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَاهُ  

[Machine] He said about her, "So he entered upon her and mentioned the conversation."  

عَنْ شَأْنِهَا قَالَ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ  

[Machine] I entered upon Subay'ah bint Abi Barzah al-Aslamyyah and asked her about her situation. She said, "I was with Sa'd ibn Khawlah and he passed away, so I did not stay with him for more than two months until I gave birth." She said, "Abu Al-Sanabil Ibn Ba'akkak, the brother of Bani Abdul-Dar, proposed to me, and I prepared myself for marriage." She said, "My brother-in-law, Hamwi, entered upon me and I was menstruating and prepared, and he asked, 'What do you want, O Subay'ah?'" She said, "I said, 'I want to get married.'" He said, "By Allah, you cannot have a husband until you complete four months and ten days." She said, "So I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and mentioned that to him, and he said, 'You are permissible for marriage, so get married.'"  

دَخَلْتُ عَلَى سُبَيْعَةَ بِنْتِ أَبِي بَرْزَةَ الْأَسْلَمِيَّةِ فَسَأَلْتُهَا عَنْ أَمْرِهَا فَقَالَتْ كُنْتُ عِنْدَ سَعْدِ ابْنِ خَوْلَةَ فَتُوُفِّيَ عَنِّي فَلَمْ أَمْكُثْ إِلَّا شَهْرَيْنِ حَتَّى وَضَعْتُ قَالَتْ فَخَطَبَنِي أَبُو السَّنَابِلِ بْنُ بَعْكَكٍ أَخُو بَنِي عَبْدِ الدَّارِ فَتَهَيَّأْتُ لِلنِّكَاحِ قَالَتْ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيَّحَمْوِي وَقَدِ اخْتَضَبْتُ وَتَهَيَّأْتُ فَقَالَ مَاذَا تُرِيدِينَ يَا سُبَيْعَةُ قَالَتْ فَقُلْتُ أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَتَزَوَّجَ قَالَ وَاللهِ مَا لَكِ مِنْ زَوْجٍ حَتَّى تَعْتَدِّينَ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرًا قَالَتْ فَجِئْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ ﷺ لِي قَدْ حَلَلْتِ فَتَزَوَّجِي
