[Machine] Sabea bint Al-Harith gave birth fifteen days after the death of her husband. Abu As-Sanabil passed by her and said, "It seems like you want to marry?" She replied, "Yes," or as she said. He said, "Not until four months and ten days have passed." She came to the Prophet ﷺ and mentioned this to him. He said, "Abu As-Sanabil has lied. If someone comes to you who you are pleased with, then inform me. This is a trustworthy messenger with evidence, and we have narrated it from a group of companions and followers to clarify the condition of someone who is found with something that would warrant the rejection of their news. However, this is not the place for it, except that Ash-Shafi'i, may Allah have mercy on him, included this matter within the issue of witness testimony of people of desires. We have mentioned some of its evidence, and with Allah is the facilitation."  

أَنَّ سُبَيْعَةَ بِنْتَ الْحَارِثِ وَضَعَتْ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ زَوْجِهَا بِخَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ يَوْمًا فَمَرَّ بِهَا أَبُو السَّنَابِلِ فَقَالَ كَأَنَّكِ تُرِيدِينَ الزَّوْجَ؟ فَقَالَتْ نَعَمْ أَوْ كَمَا قَالَتْ قَالَ لَا حَتَّى تَمْضِي أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرًا فَأَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ كَذَبَ أَبُو السَّنَابِلِ إِذَا أَتَاكِ مَنْ تَرْضَيْنَ فَأَخْبِرِينِي هَذَا مُرْسَلٌ حَسَنٌ وَلَهُ شَوَاهِدُ وَقَدْ رُوِّينَا عَنْ جَمَاعَةٍ مِنَ الصَّحَابَةِ وَالتَّابِعِينَ تَبْيِينَ حَالِ مَنْ وُجِدَ مِنْهُ مَا يُوجِبُ رَدَّ خَبَرِهِ لَيْسَ هَهُنَا مَوْضِعُهُ إِلَّا أَنَّ الشَّافِعِيَّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ أَدْخَلَ هَذِهِ الْمَسْأَلَةَ خِلَالَ مَسْأَلَةِ شَهَادَةِ أَهْلِ الْأَهْوَاءِ فَأَشَرْنَا إِلَى بَعْضِ أَدِلَّتِهَا وَبِاللهِ التَّوْفِيقُ
