I dressed myself, and as it was evening I came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and asked him about it, and he gave me a religious verdict that I was allowed to marry when I had given birth to a child and asked me to marry if I so liked. Ibn Shihab said: I do not find any harm fur her in marrying when she has given birth to a child even when she is bleeding (after the birth of the child) except that her husband should not go near her until she is purified.

‘Ubaid Allah bin ‘Abd Allah bin ‘Utbah said that his father wrote (a letter) to ‘Abd Allaah bin Al Arqam Al Zuhri asking him to visit Subai’ah daughter of Al Harith Al Aslamiyyah and ask her about her story and what the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ said to her when she asked his opinion (about her). So, ‘Umar bin Abd allah wrote in reply to ‘Abd Allah bin ‘Utbah informing him what she told him. She told that she was under (i.e., the wife of) Sa’d bin Khawlah who belonged to Banu Amir bin Luwayy. He was one of those who participated in the battle of Badr. He died at the Farwell Pilgrimage while she was pregnant. Soon after his death she gave birth to a child. When she was purified from her bleeding after child birth she adorned herself for seekers in marriage. Then Abu Al Sanabil bin Ba’kah a man from Banu Abd Al Dar entered upon her and said to her “What is the matter seeing you adorned, perhaps you are seeking marriage? I swear by Allah you cannot marry until four months and ten days pass away. Saubai’ah said “When she said this to me, I gathered my clothes on me when the evening came and I came to the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ and asked him about that. He told me that I became lawful when I had delivered a child. He suggested me to marry if I wished. Ibn Shihab said “I do not see any harm if she marries when she gives birth to the child, even though she had the bleeding after the child birth, but her husband should not have sexual intercourse till she is purified.

[Machine] Marwan bin Abdullah ibn Uthbah sent a message to Su'aybah bint Al-Harith, asking her about the instruction given to her by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. She informed him that she was under the guardianship of Sa'd bin Khawlah, and he passed away during the Farewell Pilgrimage while she was pregnant. She gave birth to her child before four months and ten days had passed since his death. Then Abu As-Sinabil bin Ba'kkak met her when she had finished her childbirth period, and she had put on kohl. He said to her, "Perhaps you want to get married, as it has been four months and ten days since your husband's death." She said, "So I went to the Prophet ﷺ and mentioned to him what Abu As-Sinabil had said. The Prophet ﷺ replied, 'You are allowed to marry, as your 'iddah ended when you gave birth.'"

The Messenger of Allah said: 'It is permissible for you to marry when you gave birth.''" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3520)  

أَنِ ادْخُلْ عَلَى سُبَيْعَةَ بِنْتِ الْحَارِثِ الْأَسْلَمِيَّةِ فَسَلْهَا عَمَّا أَفْتَاهَا بِهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي حَمْلِهَا قَالَ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ فَسَأَلَهَا فَأَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ تَحْتَ سَعْدِ بْنِ خَوْلَةَ وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِمَّنْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا فَتُوُفِّيَ عَنْهَا فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ فَوَلَدَتْ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَمْضِيَ لَهَا أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرٌ مِنْ وَفَاةِ بَعْلِهَا فَلَمَّا تَعَلَّتْ مِنْ نِفَاسِهَا دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا أَبُو السَّنَابِلِ بْنُ بَعْكَكٍ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي عَبْدِ الدَّارِ فَرَآهَا مُتَجَمِّلَةً فَقَالَ لَعَلَّكِ تُرِيدِينَ النِّكَاحَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَمُرَّ عَلَيْكِ أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرٌ قَالَتْ فَلَمَّا سَمِعْتُ ذَلِكَ مِنْ أَبِي السَّنَابِلِ جِئْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَحَدَّثْتُهُ حَدِيثِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «قَدْ حَلَلْتِ حِينَ وَضَعْتِ حَمْلَكِ»  

"عن أبي سلمة بن عبد الرحمن قال: سئل ابن عباس وأبو هريرة عن رجل توفي عن امرأة فوضعت قبل أن يمضي لها أربعة أشهر، فقال ابن عباس تعتد آخر الأجلين، قال أبو سلمة فقلت: إذا وضعت حملها فقد حل أجلها، فقال أبو هريرة: أنا مع ابن أخي - يعني أبا سلمة- فأرسل ابن عباس وأبو هريرة إلى أم سلمة يسئلونها عن ذلك، فأخبرت أن سبيعة بنت الحارث توفي عنها زوجها فوضعت بعد وفاته بليال، فلقيها أبو السنابل بن بعكك حين بلغت من نفاسها، وقد اكتحلت ولبست، فقال لعلك ترين أن

قد حللت إنك لا تحلين حتى يمضي لك أربعة أشهر وعشر من وفاة زوجك، فلما أمست أتت النبي ﷺ فذكرت له شأنها، وما قال لها أبو السنابل، فقال لها النبي ﷺ إذا وضعت حملك، قالت: وحسبت أن النبي ﷺ قال لها: كذب أبو السنابل".  

" وَعَنْ عُبَيْد اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، قَالَ: أَرْسَلَ مَرَوَانُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عُتْبَةَ إِلَى سُبَيْعَةَ بِنْتِ الحَارِثِ يَسْأَلُهَا عَمَّا أَفْتَاهَا بِهِ رَسُول اللهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ تَحْتَ سَعْدِ بْنِ خَوْلَةَ فَتُوُفِّيَ عَنْهَا فِي حَجَّةِ الوَدَاعِ، وَكَانَ بَدْرِيّا فَوَضَعَتْ حَمْلَهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَمْضِيَ لَهَا أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرًا مِنْ وَفَاتِهِ، فَلَقِيهَا أَبُو السَّنَابِلِ بْنُ بَعْكٍ حِينَ تَعَلَّتْ مِنْ نِفَاسِهَا وَقَدِ اكْتَحلَتْ فَقَالَ: لَعَلَّكِ تُرِيدِينَ النِّكَاحَ؟ إِنَّهَا أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرًا مِنْ وَفَاةِ زَوْجِكِ، فَأَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرَتْ لَهُ مَا قَالَ أَبُو السَّنَابِلِ، فَقَالَ لَهَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ قَدْ حَلَلْتِ حِينَ وَضَعْتِ حَمْلَكِ".
