[Machine] Su'bah bint al-Harith gave birth after the death of her husband for fifteen nights. Abu al-Sanabil entered upon her and said, "It seems like you speak to yourself with sadness. What is bothering you until the longest of two terms expire?" She then went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and informed him of what Abu al-Sanabil had said. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Abu al-Sanabil has lied. If someone comes to you whom you are pleased with, bring him to me or inform me." He then informed her that her waiting period (iddah) had ended.  

أَنَّ سُبَيْعَةَ بِنْتَ الْحَارِثِ وَضَعَتْ حَمْلَهَا بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ زَوْجِهَا بِخَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ لَيْلَةً فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا أَبُو السَّنَابِلِ فَقَالَ كَأَنَّكِ تُحَدِّثِينَ نَفْسَكِ بِالْبَاءَةِ؟ مَا لَكِ ذَلِكَ حَتَّى يَنْقَضِيَ أَبْعَدُ الْأَجَلَيْنِ فَانْطَلَقَتْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَتْهُ بِمَا قَالَ أَبُو السَّنَابِلِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ كَذَبَ أَبُو السَّنَابِلِ إِذَا أَتَاكِ أَحَدٌ تَرْضَيْنَهُ فَائتِينِي بِهِ أَوْ قَالَ فَأَنْبِئِينِي فَأَخْبَرَهَا أَنَّ عِدَّتَهَا قَدِانْقَضَتْ
