٥٤۔ كِتَابُ التَّفْسِيرِ
[Machine] The prophet read, "O Prophet, when you divorce women, divorce them at their prescribed time."
قَرَأَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ إِذَا طَلَّقْتُمُ النِّسَاءَ فَطَلِّقُوهُنَّ فِي قُبُلِ عِدَّتِهِنَّ»
[Machine] "Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, says: 'O Prophet! When you divorce women, divorce them during their prescribed waiting period'" (Surah Al-Talaq, verse 1).
اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى {يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ إِذَا طَلَّقْتُمُ النِّسَاءَ فَطَلِّقُوهُنَّ} [الطلاق 1] فِي قُبُلِ عِدَّتِهِنَّ
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {وَمَنْ يَتَّقِ اللهَ يَجْعَلْ لَهُ مَخْرَجًا} [الطلاق: 2]
[Machine] The Prophet of Allah ﷺ recited this verse, "Whoever fears Allah, He will make for him a way out" [Surah At-Talaq 2], until the end of the verse, then he said, "O Abu Dhar, if all people were to hold onto this, it would be sufficient for them."
جَعَلَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ يَتْلُو هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {وَمَنْ يَتَّقِ اللهَ يَجْعَلْ لَهُ مَخْرَجًا} [الطلاق 2] حَتَّى خَتَمَ الْآيَةَ ثُمَّ قَالَ «يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ لَوْ أَنَّ النَّاسَ كُلَّهُمْ أَخَذُوا بِهَا لَكَفَتْهُمْ»

٥٤۔٦٥۔٢ قَوْلُهُ: {وَأُولَاتُ الْأَحْمَالِ أَجَلُهُنَّ أَنْ يَضَعْنَ حَمَلَهُنَّ} [الطلاق: 4]
It was narrated from 'Abdullah that the shorter Surah, that speaks of women (At-Talaq), was revealed after Al-Baqarah. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3523)
«أَنَّ سُورَةَ النِّسَاءِ الْقُصْرَى نَزَلَتْ بَعْدَ الْبَقَرَةِ»
أَنْ يَضَعْنَ حَمَلَهُنَّ} [الطلاق 4]
"It was said to Ibn 'Abbas concerning a woman who gives birth one day after her husband died: 'Can she get married?' He said: 'No, not until the longer of the two periods has ended.' He said: 'Allah says: And for those who are pregnant (whether they are divorced or their husbands are dead), their 'Iddah (prescribed period) is until they lay down their burden.' He said: 'That only applies in the case of divorce.' Abu Hurairah said: 'I agree with my brother's son' --meaning, Abu Salamah. He sent his slave Kuraib and told him: 'Go to Umm Salamah and ask her: Was this the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah?' He came back and said: 'Yes, Subai'ah Al-Aslamiyyah gave birth twenty days after her husband died, and the Messenger of Allah told her to get married, and Abu As-Sanabil was one of those who proposed marriage to her.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3511)
قِيلَ لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فِي امْرَأَةٍ وَضَعَتْ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ زَوْجِهَا بِعِشْرِينَ لَيْلَةً أَيَصْلُحُ لَهَا أَنْ تَتَزَوَّجَ؟ قَالَ لَا إِلَّا آخِرَ الْأَجَلَيْنِ قَالَ قُلْتُ قَالَ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى {وَأُولَاتُ الْأَحْمَالِ أَجَلُهُنَّ أَنْ يَضَعْنَ حَمَلَهُنَّ} [الطلاق 4] قَالَ إِنَّمَا ذَلِكَ فِي الطَّلَاقِ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَا مَعَ ابْنُ أَخِي يَعْنِي أَبَا سَلَمَةَ فَأَرْسَلَ غُلَامَهُ كُرَيْبًا فَقَالَ ائْتِ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ فَسَلْهَا هَلْ كَانَ هَذَا سُنَّةً مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ فَجَاءَهُ فَقَالَ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ سُبَيْعَةُ الْأَسْلَمِيَّةُ وَضَعَتْ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ زَوْجِهَا بِعِشْرِينَ لَيْلَةً فَأَمَرَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ تَزَوَّجَ وَكَانَ أَبُو السَّنَابِلِ فِيمَنْ خَطَبَهَا
