[Machine] She asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for permission to return to her family. Her husband had gone out in search of a sustenance, so they decided to wait for him. They caught up with him when he was about to arrive and they killed him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to her, "Stay in your house until the time appointed in the Quran." I said, "He did not leave for me a house that I own nor any provision." He said, "Stay until the time appointed in the Quran." So she observed 'Iddah (waiting period) for four months and ten days. When 'Uthman sent for me, he asked about this. I informed him of the situation, so he followed the same ruling and decreed accordingly.  

أَنَّهَا سَأَلَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ يَأْذَنَ لَهَا أَنْ تَرْجِعَ إِلَى أَهْلِهَا؟ فَإِنَّ زَوْجَهَا قَدْ خَرَجَ فِي طَلَبِ أَعْبُدٍ لَهُ أَبَقُوا فَأَدْرَكَهُمْ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ بِطَرَفِ الْقَدُومِ قَتَلُوهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «امْكُثِي فِي بَيْتِكِ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ الْكِتَابُ أَجَلَهُ» فَقُلْتُ إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَدَعْنِي فِي بَيْتٍ أَمْلِكُهُ وَلَا نَفَقَةٍ فَقَالَ «امْكُثِي حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ الْكِتَابُ أَجَلَهُ» فَاعْتَدَّتْ فِيهِ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرًا قَالَتْ فَلَمَّا كَانَ عُثْمَانُ أَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ فَسَأَلَنِي عَنْ ذَلِكَ؟ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَاتَّبَعَ ذَلِكَ وَقَضَى بِهِ  

[Machine] "So I went to the Prophet ﷺ and mentioned that to him. He said, 'Go out and suck the milk from your date palm tree, perhaps you may give charity or do a good deed.'"  

فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ «اخْرُجِي فَجُدِّي نَخْلَكِ فَلَعَلَّكِ أَنْ تَصَدَّقِي أَوْ تَصْنَعِي مَعْرُوفًا»
