[Machine] The waiting period of a woman after the death of her husband is four months and ten days, and if she is divorced, her waiting period is three menstrual cycles. Abu Abdur-Rahman As-Sulami and Abu Bakr bin Al-Harith have informed us about this. They said: I am Ali bin Umar Al-Hafidh, narrated by Muhammad bin Al-Hasan bin Ali Al-Yaqtini, narrated by Al-Husain bin Abdullah bin Yazid Al-Qattan, narrated by Abbas bin Al-Walid Al-Khallal Ad-Dimashqi, narrated by Zaid bin Yahya bin Ubaid, narrated by Abu Ma'bad. He mentioned it and said: Ali is the one speaking and he is correct, and it is a Mursal (a narration in which the Companion is skipped) because Qabisa did not hear it from Amr.
