١٦۔ كِتَابُ الطَّلَاقِ
[Machine] She came to the Messenger of Allah and asked about leaving her house. He commanded her to go to Ibn Umm Maktum, the blind man.
أَنَّهَا جَاءَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَاسْتَفْتَتْ فِي خُرُوجِهَا مِنْ بَيْتِهَا فَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَنْتَقِلَ إِلَى ابْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ الْأَعْمَى
ذِكْرُ الْعِلَّةَ الَّتِي مِنْ أَجْلِهَا أُمِرَتْ فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ قَيْسٍ بِالِانْتِقَالِ إِلَى بَيْتِ ابْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ
Abu Salamah bin ‘Abd Al Rahman reported on the authority of Fatimah daughter of Qais Abu ‘Amr bin Hafs divorced her (Fatimah daughter of Qais) absolutely when he was away from home and his agent sent her home barley. She was displeased with it. He said “I swear by Allah, you have no claim on us. She then came to Apostle of Allah ﷺ and mentioned that to him. He said to her “No maintenance is due to you from him. He ordered her to spend the waiting period in the house of Umm Sharik but he said afterwards “that is a woman whom my Companions visit. Spend the waiting period in the house of Ibn Umm Maktum for he is blind and you can undress. Then when you are in a position of being remarried, tell me.” She said “When I was in a position to remarry, I mentioned to him that Mu’awiyah bin Abi Sufyan and Abu Jahm had asked me in marriage. The Apostle of Allah ﷺsaid “As for Abu Jahm, he does not put down his stick from his shoulder, and as for Mu’awiyah he is a poor man who has no property; marry Usamah bin Zaid. I disliked him but he said “Marry Usamah bin Zaid. So, I married him. And Allah prospered him very much and I was envied.” (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2284)
وَاللَّهِ مَا لَكَ عَلَيْنَا مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَجَاءَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ لَهَا «لَيْسَ لَكِ عَلَيْهِ نَفَقَةٌ» وَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَعْتَدَّ فِي بَيْتِ أُمِّ شَرِيكٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ «تِلْكَ امْرَأَةٌ يَغْشَاهَا أَصْحَابِي فَاعْتَدِّي عِنْدَ ابْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ فَإِنَّهُ رَجُلٌ أَعْمَى تَضَعِينَ ثِيَابَكِ حَيْثُ شِئْتِ فَإِذَا حَلَلْتِ فَآذِنِينِي» قَالَتْ فَلَمَّا حَلَلْتُ ذَكَرْتُ لَهُ أَنَّ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنَ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ وَأَبَا جَهْمٍ خَطَبَانِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَمَّا أَبُو جَهْمٍ فَلَا يَضَعُ عَصَاهُ عَنْ عَاتِقِهِ وَأَمَّا مُعَاوِيَةُ فَصُعْلُوكٌ لَا مَالَ لَهُ انْكِحِي أُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ» قَالَتْ فَكَرِهْتُ ثُمَّ قَالَ «انْكِحِي أُسَامَةَ» فَنَكَحْتُهُ فَجَعَلَ اللَّهُ فِيهِ خَيْرًا وَاغْتَبَطْتُ بِهِ
ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ عَنْ نَفْيِ إِثْبَاتِ السَّكَنِ لِلْمَبْتُوتَةِ
"The thrice-divorced woman is not entitled to provision and shelter." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3404)
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «الْمُطَلَّقَةُ ثَلَاثًا لَيْسَ لَهَا سُكْنَى وَلَا نَفَقَةٌ»
ذِكْرُ وَصْفِ عِدَّةِ الْمُتَوَفَّى عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا
"Should I return to my people, for he did not leave any dwelling house of his own and maintenance for me? She said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied: Yes. She said: I came out, and when I was in the apartment or in the mosque, he called for me, or he commanded (someone to call me) and, therefore, I was called. He said: what did you say? So I repeated my story which I had already mentioned about my husband. Thereupon he said: Stay in your house till the term lapses. She said: So I passed my waiting period in it (her house) for four months and ten days. When Uthman ibn Affan became caliph, he sent for me and asked me about that; so I informed him, and he followed it and decided cases accordingly. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2300)
أَنَّهَا جَاءَتْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ تَسْأَلُهُ أَنْ تَرْجِعَ إِلَى أَهْلِهَا فِي بَنِي خُدْرَةَ فَإِنَّ زَوْجَهَا خَرَجَ فِي طَلَبِ أَعْبُدٍ لَهُ أَبَقُوا حَتَّى إِذَا كَانُوا بِطَرَفِ الْقَدُومِ لَحِقَهُمْ فَقَتَلُوهُ فَسَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ أَرْجِعَ إِلَى أَهْلِي فَإِنَّ زَوْجِي لَمْ يَتْرُكْنِي فِي مَنْزِلٍ يَمْلِكُهُ وَلَا نَفَقَةَ فَقَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «نَعَمْ» فَانْصَرَفْتُ حَتَّى إِذَا كُنْتُ فِي الْحُجْرَةِ أَوْ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ دَعَانِي أَوْ أَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَدُعِيتُ لَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «كَيْفَ قُلْتِ؟ » قَالَتْ فَرَدَدْتُ عَلَيْهِ الْقِصَّةَ الَّتِي ذَكَرْتُ مِنْ شَأْنِ زَوْجِي فَقَالَ «امْكُثِي فِي بَيْتِكِ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ الْكِتَابُ أَجَلَهُ» قَالَتْ فَاعْتَدَدْتُ فِيهِ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرًا قَالَتْ فَلَمَّا كَانَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ أَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ فَسَأَلَنِي عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَاتَّبَعَهُ وَقَضَى بِهِ
ذِكْرُ الْأَمْرِ بِالِاعْتِدَادِ لِلْمُتَوَفَّى عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا فِي الْبَيْتِ الَّذِي جَاءَ فِيهِ نَعْيُهُ
[Machine] Her husband was in a village from the cities of Medina, and that he was following a group (who practices sorcery) and they killed him. So she went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and mentioned her distress and informed him that she is staying in a house that does not belong to her. She sought permission from him to go to her brothers in Medina, and he granted her permission. Then he revoked his decision and said to her, "Stay in the house where the news of his death came until the appointed time for the punishment is due."
أَنَّ زَوْجَهَا كَانَ فِي قَرْيَةٍ مِنْ قُرَى الْمَدِينَةِ وَأَنَّهُ تَبَعَ أَعْلَاجًا فَقَتَلُوهُ فَأَتَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَتِ الْوَحْشَةِ وَذَكَرَتْ أَنَّهَا فِي مَنْزِلٍ لَيْسَ لَهَا وَأَنَّهَا اسْتَأْذَنْتُهُ أَنْ تَأْتِيَ إِخْوَتَهَا بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَأَذِنَ لَهَا ثُمَّ أَعَادَهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهَا «امْكُثِي فِي بَيْتِكِ الَّذِي جَاءَ فِيهِ نَعْيُهُ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ الْكِتَابُ أَجَلَهُ»
ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ بِأَنَّ انْقِضَاءَ عِدَّةِ الْحَامِلِ وَضْعُهَا حَمْلَهَا، وَإِنْ كَانَ ذَلِكَ فِي مُدَّةٍ يَسِيرَةٍ
"Go to Subai'ah bint Al-Harith Al-Aslamiyyah, and ask her about the ruling of the Messenger of Allah concerning her pregnancy." He said: "So 'Umar bin 'Abdullah went to her and asked her. She told him that she was married to Sa'd bin Khawlah, who was one of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah who had been present at Badr. He died during the Farewell Pilgrimage, and she gave birth before four months and ten days had passed since her husband's death. When her Nifas ended, Abu As-Sanabil -a man from Banu 'Abd Ad-Dar- went to her and saw that she had adorned herself. He said: 'Perhaps you want to get married before four months and ten days has passed?' She said: 'When I heard that from Abu As-Sanabil, I went to the Messenger of Allah and told him my story. The Messenger of Allah said: 'It is permissible for you to marry when you gave birth.''" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3520)
أَنِ ادْخُلْ عَلَى سُبَيْعَةَ بِنْتِ الْحَارِثِ الْأَسْلَمِيَّةِ فَاسْأَلْهَا عَمَّا أَفْتَاهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي حَمْلِهَا قَالَ فَدَخَلَ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ فَسَأَلَهَا فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ تَحْتَ سَعْدِ بْنِ خَوْلَةَ وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِمَّنْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا فَتُوُفِّيَ عَنْهَا فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ فَوَلَدَتْ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَمْضِيَ لَهَا أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرٍ مِنْ وَفَاةِ بَعْلِهَا فَلَمَّا تَعَلَّتْ مِنْ نِفَاسِهَا دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا أَبُو السَّنَابِلِ بْنُ بَعْكَكٍ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي عَبْدِ الدَّارِ فَرَآهَا مُتَجَمِّلَةً فَقَالَ لَهَا لَعَلَّكِ تُرِيدِينَ النِّكَاحَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَمُرَّ عَلَيْكِ أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرٍ قَالَتْ فَلَمَّا سَمِعْتُ ذَلِكَ مِنْ أَبِي السَّنَابِلِ جِئْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَحَدَّثْتُهُ وَاسْتَفْتَيْتُهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «قَدْ حَلَلْتِ حِينَ وَضَعْتِ حَمْلَكِ»
ذِكْرُ وَصْفِ الْعِدَّةِ لِلْحَامِلِ الْمُتَوَفَّى عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا
[Machine] About a woman who gave birth forty nights after the death of her husband, Ibn Abbas said, "It is the last of the two terms." Abu Salama said, "Did not Allah say, 'And the mothers may give suckling to their children for two whole years?'". Abu Hurayrah said, "I am with the son of my brother," meaning Abu Salama. So Ibn Abbas sent Kurayb to the wives of the Prophet ﷺ to ask them, "Have you heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ regarding this as a Sunnah?" So they sent to him that Suhayla bint Aslamia gave birth forty nights after the death of her husband, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ married her.
عَنِ امْرَأَةٍ وَضَعَتْ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ زَوْجِهَا بِأَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ «آخِرَ الْأَجَلَيْنِ» قَالَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ فَقُلْتُ أَمَا قَالَ اللَّهُ {وَأُولَاتُ الْأَحْمَالِ أَجَلُهُنَّ أَنْ يَضَعْنَ حَمْلَهُنَّ} قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ «أَنَا مَعَ ابْنِ أَخِي» يَعْنِي أَبَا سَلَمَةَ فَأَرْسَلَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ كُرَيْبًا إِلَى أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَسْأَلَهُنَّ هَلْ سَمِعْتُنَّ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي ذَلِكَ سُنَّةً؟ فَأَرْسَلْنَ إِلَيْهِ «أَنَّ سُبَيْعَةَ الْأَسْلَمِيَّةَ وَضَعَتْ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ زَوْجِهَا بِأَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً فَزَوَّجَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ»
ذِكْرُ وَصْفِ عِدَّةِ الْمُتَوَفَّى عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا وَهِيَ حَامِلٌ
"(She should wait) for the longer of the two periods." Abu Salamah said: "When she has given birth, it becomes permissible for her to remarry." Abu Hurairah came and said: "I agree with my brother's son" -meaning Abu Salamah bin 'Abdur-Rahman. They sent Kuraib, the freed slave of Ibn 'Abbas, to Umm Salamah to ask her about that. He came back to them and told them that she said: "Subai'ah gave birth one day after her husband died;" she mentioned that to the Messenger of Allah and he said: "It has become permissible for you to marry." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3514)
وَقَالَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ إِذَا نُفِسَتْ فَقَدْ حَلَّتْ قَالَ فَجَاءَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ فَقَالَ أَنَا مَعَ ابْنِ أَخِي يَعْنِي أَبَا سَلَمَةَ فَبَعَثُوا كُرَيْبًا مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ إِلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَسَأَلَهَا عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَجَاءَهُمْ فَأَخْبَرَهُمْ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ وَلَدَتْ سُبَيْعَةُ الْأَسْلَمِيَّةُ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ زَوْجِهَا بِلَيَالٍ فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهَا «قَدْ حَلَلْتِ فَانْكِحِي»
ذِكْرُ الْقَدْرِ الَّذِي وَضَعَتْ فِيهِ سُبَيْعَةُ حَمْلَهَا بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ زَوْجِهَا
"Ibn 'Abbas and Abu Hurairah were asked about the woman whose husband dies when she is pregnant. Ibn 'Abbas said: '(She should wait) for the longer of the two periods.' Abu Hurairah said: 'When she gives birth it becomes permissible for her to marry.' Abu Salamah went to Umm Salamah and asked her about that, and she said: 'Subai'ah Al-Aslamiyyah gave birth half a month after her husband died, and two men proposed to her. One was young and one was old, and she was inclined toward the young one. So the old one said: It is not permissible for you to marry. Her family was not there, and he hoped that if he went to her family they would marry her to him. She went to the Messenger of Allah and he said: It is permissible for you to marry, so marry whomever you want.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3510)
وَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ «إِذَا وَلَدَتْ فَقَدْ حَلَّتْ» فَدَخَلَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ عَلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ فَسَأَلَهَا عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَتْ وَلَدَتْ سُبَيْعَةُ الْأَسْلَمِيَّةُ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ زَوْجِهَا بِنِصْفِ شَهْرٍ فَخَطَبَهَا رَجُلَانِ أَحَدُهُمَا شَابٌّ وَالْآخَرُ كَهْلٌ فَحَطَّتْ إِلَى الشَّابِّ فَقَالَ الْكَهْلُ لَمْ تَحْلُلْ وَكَانَ أَهْلُهَا غَيْبًا وَرَجَا إِذَا جَاءَ أَهْلُهَا أَنْ يُؤْثِرُوهُ بِهَا فَجَاءَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «قَدْ حَلَلْتِ فَانْكِحِي مَنْ شِئْتِ»
ذِكْرُ الْإِبَاحَةِ لِلْمَرْأَةِ الْحَامِلِ إِذَا مَاتَ عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا أَنْ تَتَزَوَّجَ بَعْدَ وَضْعِهَا حَمْلَهَا، وَإِنْ كَانَ ذَلِكَ فِي مُدَّةٍ يَسِيرَةٍ
[Machine] The translation of the provided text is as follows: "A few days after the death of her husband, Subay'ah approached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and sought permission from him for marriage, and he granted her permission."
وَضَعَتْ سُبَيْعَةُ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ زَوْجِهَا بِأَيَّامٍ قَلَائِلَ فَأَتَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَاسْتَأْذَنَتْهُ فِي النِّكَاحِ «فَأَذِنَ لَهَا»
ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ بِأَنَّ الْمُتَوَفَّى عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا لَهَا أَنْ تَتَزَوَّجَ بَعْدَ وَضْعِهَا الْحَمْلَ، وَإِنْ كَانَ ذَلِكَ فِي مُدَّةٍ يَسِيرَةٍ
"Subai'ah gave birth twenty-three or twenty-five days after her husband died, and when her Nifas ended she expressed her wish to remarry and was criticized for that. Mention of that was made to the Messenger of Allah and he said: 'There is nothing to stop her; her term has ended.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3508)
وَضَعَتْ سُبَيْعَةُ حَمْلَهَا بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ زَوْجِهَا بِثَلَاثَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ أَوْ خَمْسَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ لَيْلَةً فَلَمَّا وَضَعَتْ تَشَوَّفَتِ الْأَزْوَاجَ فَعِيبَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهَا فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «وَمَا يَمْنَعُهَا وَقَدِ انْقَضَى أَجَلُهَا»
ذِكْرُ وَصْفِ عِدَّةِ أُمِّ الْوَلَدِ إِذَا تُوُفِّيَ عَنْهَا سَيِّدُهَا
[Machine] "Do not impose upon us the practice of our Prophet's Sunnah, 'iddah for the mother of the child, the 'iddah of the deceased from her husband."
لَا تُلْبِسُوا عَلَيْنَا سُنَّةَ نَبِيِّنَا ﷺ «عِدَّةُ أُمِّ الْوَلَدِ عِدَّةُ الْمُتَوَفَّى عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا»
