"A man among us married a woman, but he did not name a dowry for her, and he did not have intercourse with her before he died." 'Abdullah said: 'Since I left the Messenger of Allah I have never been asked a more difficult question than this. Go to someone else.' They kept coming to him for a month, then at the end of that they said: 'Who shall we ask if we do not ask you? You are one of the most prominent Companions of Muhammad in this land and we cannot find anyone else.' He said: 'I will say what I think, and if it is correct then it is from Allah alone, with no partner, and if it is wrong then it is from me and from the Shaitan, and Allah and His Messenger have nothing to do with it. I think she should be given a dowry like that of her peers and no less, with no injustice, and she may inherit from him, and she has to observe the 'Iddah, four months and ten days.'" He said: "And that was heard by some people from Ashja', who stood up and said: 'We bear witness that you have passed the same judgment as the Messenger of Allah did concerning a woman from among us who was called Birwa' bint Washiq.'" He said: "Abdullah was never seen looking so happy as he did on that day, except with having accepted Islam."

[Machine] It was narrated that Ibn Mas'ud said: A man had married a woman and he died before consummating the marriage. He did not give her any dowry, so they came to Ibn Mas'ud to settle the matter. They argued about it for a month or close to a month, then they said: "She must have some dowry." He (Ibn Mas'ud) said: "Her dowry is the same as that of any woman among her people, without exaggeration or negligence. She is entitled to inheritance and she must observe the waiting period (after her husband's death). If it is correct, then it is from Allah; if it is a mistake, then it is from me and from the Shaytan. Allah and His Messenger are innocent of this." Then a group of the most bold among them, including Al-Jarrah and Abu Sinan, stood up and said: "We bear witness that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ruled concerning a woman among us who was called Barwa' bint Washiq, and her husband was called Hilal bin Murrah Al-Ashja'i." Ibn Mas'ud was extremely happy when his ruling coincided with the ruling of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . This was narrated by Hammam bin Yahya from Qatadah from Abu Hassan, and it was narrated by Hisham Al-Dustuway from Qatadah from Khalas. The Shaykh said: The disagreement concerning the name of the one who narrated the story of Barwa' bint Washiq from the Prophet ﷺ does not undermine the hadith, because all of these narrations have authentic chains of transmission, and in some of them it is indicated that a group of Al-Ashja'a were witnesses to that. So it is as if the narration was named after one of them, and some of them named two, while others did not specify. This does not weaken the hadith. And if it were not for the trustworthiness of those who narrated it,
