[Machine] Narrated by Abdullah, a man married a woman but died before consummating the marriage or establishing the dowry for her. The narrator says that the full dowry must be given to the woman, she must observe the waiting period (iddah), and she is entitled to her inheritance. Maqil ibn Sinan stood up and said, "I bear witness that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ruled in a similar case involving Burwa bint Washiq." This hadith is considered authentic and includes the mention of Maqil ibn Sinan as a famous companion. It was narrated by Yazid ibn Harun, who was one of the reliable hadith narrators, alongside Abdur Rahman ibn Mahdi and others with a different authentic chain of narration. Similarly, (the ruling applies to this case).
