[Machine] It was narrated that Ibn Mas'ud said: A man had married a woman and he died before consummating the marriage. He did not give her any dowry, so they came to Ibn Mas'ud to settle the matter. They argued about it for a month or close to a month, then they said: "She must have some dowry." He (Ibn Mas'ud) said: "Her dowry is the same as that of any woman among her people, without exaggeration or negligence. She is entitled to inheritance and she must observe the waiting period (after her husband's death). If it is correct, then it is from Allah; if it is a mistake, then it is from me and from the Shaytan. Allah and His Messenger are innocent of this." Then a group of the most bold among them, including Al-Jarrah and Abu Sinan, stood up and said: "We bear witness that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ruled concerning a woman among us who was called Barwa' bint Washiq, and her husband was called Hilal bin Murrah Al-Ashja'i." Ibn Mas'ud was extremely happy when his ruling coincided with the ruling of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . This was narrated by Hammam bin Yahya from Qatadah from Abu Hassan, and it was narrated by Hisham Al-Dustuway from Qatadah from Khalas. The Shaykh said: The disagreement concerning the name of the one who narrated the story of Barwa' bint Washiq from the Prophet ﷺ does not undermine the hadith, because all of these narrations have authentic chains of transmission, and in some of them it is indicated that a group of Al-Ashja'a were witnesses to that. So it is as if the narration was named after one of them, and some of them named two, while others did not specify. This does not weaken the hadith. And if it were not for the trustworthiness of those who narrated it,
أَنَّ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ ؓ أُتِيَ فِي رَجُلٍ تَزَوَّجَ امْرَأَةً فَمَاتَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ بِهَا وَلَمْ يُسَمِّ لَهَا صَدَاقًا فَاخْتَلَفُوا إِلَيْهِ فِي ذَلِكَ شَهْرًا أَوْ قَرِيبًا مِنْ شَهْرٍ فَقَالُوا لَا بُدَّ أَنْ تَقُولَ فِيهَا قَالَ أَقْضِي أَنَّ لَهَا صَدَاقَ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْ نِسَائِهَا لَا وَكْسَ وَلَا شَطَطَ وَلَهَا الْمِيرَاثُ وَعَلَيْهَا الْعِدَّةُ فَإِنْ يَكُنْ صَوَابًا فَمِنَ اللهِ وَإِنْ يَكُنْ خَطَأً فَمِنْ نَفْسِي وَمِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ وَاللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ بَرِيئَانِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَامَ رَهْطٌ مِنْ أَشْجَعَ فِيهِمُ الْجَرَّاحُ وَأَبُو سِنَانٍ فَقَالُوا نَشْهَدُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَضَى فِي امْرَأَةٍ مِنَّا يُقَالُ لَهَا بِرْوَعُ بِنْتُ وَاشِقٍ وَكَانَ زَوْجُهَا يُقَالُ لَهُ هِلَالُ بْنُ مُرَّةَ الْأَشْجَعِيُّ فَفَرِحَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ ؓ فَرَحًا شَدِيدًا حِينَ وَافَقَ قَضَاؤُهُ قَضَاءَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ
