[Machine] When the verse of women in Surah Al-Baqarah was revealed, regarding divorce and the death of a husband, Ubayy ibn Ka'b said, “O Messenger of Allah, some people from the people of Madinah say that there are still women about whom nothing has been mentioned." The Prophet asked, "What are they?" Ubayy replied, "Those who are young and old, those who are pregnant." Then the verse was revealed, "{And those who no longer expect menstruation among your women - if you doubt, then their period is three months, and [also for] those who have not menstruated. And for those who are pregnant, their term is until they give birth.}" [Al-Talaq 4]  

لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ عِدَّةُ النِّسَاءِ فِي سُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ فِي الْمُطَلَّقَةِ وَالْمُتَوَفَّى عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا قَالَ قَالَ أُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ أُنَاسًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ يَقُولُونَ قَدْ بَقِيَ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ مَا لَمْ يُذْكَرْ فِيهِ شَيْءٌ قَالَ وَمَا هُوَ؟ قَالَ الصِّغَارُ وَالْكِبَارُ ذَوَاتُ الْحَمْلِ قَالَ فَنَزَلَتْ {وَاللَّائِي يَئِسْنَ مِنَ الْمَحِيضِ مِنْ نِسَائِكُمْ إِنِ ارْتَبْتُمْ فَعِدَّتُهُنَّ ثَلَاثَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَاللَّائِي لَمْ يَحِضْنَ وَأُولَاتُ الْأَحْمَالِ أَجَلُهُنَّ أَنْ يَضَعْنَ حَمْلَهُنَّ} [الطلاق 4]  

[Machine] When this verse was revealed in Surah Al-Baqarah, some people said, "The number of women mentioned in the verse is less than the actual number of women, as it does not include young or elderly women who no longer experience menstruation, or pregnant women." So Allah revealed the following verse in Surah At-Talaq: "And those who no longer expect menstruation among your women - if you doubt, then their period is three months, and [also for] those who have not menstruated. And for those who are pregnant, their term is until they give birth." Ash-Shafi'i, may Allah have mercy on him, said regarding the statement "if you doubt" in Surah At-Talaq, "You do not know what would be the limit for other than the mature [women]."  

لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ الَّتِي فِي سُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ فِي عَدَدٍ مِنْ عِدَدِ النِّسَاءِ قَالُوا قَدْ بَقِيَ عَدَدٌ مِنْ عِدَدِ النِّسَاءِ لَمْ يَذْكُرْنَ الصِّغَارَ وَالْكِبَارَ اللَّائِي انْقَطَعَ عَنْهُنَّ الْحَيْضُ وَذَوَاتُ الْأَحْمَالِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ الْآيَةَ الَّتِي فِي النِّسَاءِ {وَاللَّائِي يَئِسْنَ مِنَ الْمَحِيضِ مِنْ نِسَائِكُمْ إِنِ ارْتَبْتُمْ فَعِدَّتُهُنَّ ثَلَاثَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَاللَّائِي لَمْ يَحِضْنَ وَأُولَاتُ الْأَحْمَالِ أَجَلُهُنَّ أَنْ يَضَعْنَ حَمْلَهَنَّ} [الطلاق 4] قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ وَقَوْلُهُ {إِنِ ارْتَبْتُمْ} [الطلاق 4] فَلَمْ تَدْرُوا مَا تَعْتَدُّ غَيْرُ ذَوَاتِ الْأَقْرَاءِ  

" ... (*) إن ناسًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمدِيْنَةِ لَمَّا أُنْزِلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَة الَّتِى في الْبَقَرِةِ في عِدَّةِ النِّسَاءِ قَالُوا: لَقَدْ بَقِىَ مِنْ عِدَّةِ النِّسَاءِ عِدَدٌ لم تُذْكر في الْقُرْآنِ: الصِّغَارَ وَالكِبَارَ الَّلاتِى قَدْ انْقَطَعَ عَنْهُنَّ الْحَيْضُ، وَذَوَاتُ الْحَمْلِ فَأَنْزَلَ الله الَّتي في سُورَةِ النِّسَاءِ الْقُصْرَى، {وَاللَّائِي يَئِسْنَ مِنَ الْمَحِيضِ} الآيَة".
