[Machine] That a woman's husband died and a man proposed to her until she married him. She stayed with him for four and a half months, then she gave birth. Her affair became known to Umar ibn al-Khattab. He sent for the woman and asked her, and she said, "By Allah, he is his son." Umar asked about the woman, and he was only informed good things about her. Then he sent for the women of the pre-Islamic era and gathered them. He asked them about her affair and her reputation. One of them said, "Does she have her menstruation?" She said, "Yes." She asked, "When was your last contact with your husband?" She said, "Before he died." She said, "I will inform you of news about this woman. She became pregnant from her husband and she used to miscarry on him. But when she got married, and her husband's semen reached her, she became well and active, and at that time the bleeding ceased from her. When she gave birth, she completed six months." The women said, "You spoke the truth about her." Umar then separated between them.
