[Machine] However, his uncle did not say this. I met Malik ibn 'Amir al-Hamdani, so I asked him. He began mentioning the hadith of Subay'ah, so I said, "I am not asking you about this. Have you heard Ibn Mas'ud say anything about it?" He said, "Yes, they mentioned it to him and he said, 'What do you say if she gives birth before the completion of the four months and ten days?' We said, 'You wait until the four months and ten days are over.' He said, 'What do you say if the four months and ten days pass before she gives birth?' We said, 'Until she gives birth.' He said, 'You make it difficult for her and you do not give her permission.' Then Surah an-Nisa' as-Sughra or al-Qusra was revealed, 'And those who are pregnant.'"
