[Machine] There is a narration from Subayah the daughter of Harith, who waited for four months and ten days after the death of her husband. She informed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about this, and he said, "Abu As-Sanabil has lied, or he did not understand what Abu As-Sanabil said. You are now free to marry." This statement is mentioned in the narration of Ash-Shafi'i and the narration of Sa'dan, which is summarized. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered Subayah to marry. This narration is Mursal, and what precedes it is sufficient in terms of connected chains of narration.
