ahmad:27438Yaʿqūb from my father > Ibn Isḥāq > Muḥammad b. Ibrāhīm b. al-Ḥārith al-Taymī > Abū Salamah b. ʿAbd al-Raḥman

[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.'"  

أحمد:٢٧٤٣٨حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ التَّيْمِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ

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

[Machine] My husband, Sa'd bin Khawla, passed away with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during the Farewell Pilgrimage. I stayed for two months after his death, then I became pregnant. Abu As-Sanabil bin Ba'ka, the brother of Bani 'Abd ad-Dar, passed by and visited my in-laws, wanting me for himself. But I had prepared myself for marriage and had taken precautions. He asked me what was wrong, and I said that I intended to get married. He replied, "No, by Allah, it is only four months and ten days." So I put on my clothes and went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , who was in the house of Umm Salamah, and I asked him. He said, "You are permissible, so get married."

[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.'"
