What is this that I see you embellished; perhaps you are inclined to marry, By Allah, you cannot marry unless four months and ten days (of 'Idda are passed). When he said that. I dressed myself, and as it was evening I came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and asked him about it, and he gave me a religious verdict that I was allowed to marry when I had given birth to a child and asked me to marry if I so liked. Ibn Shihab said: I do not find any harm fur her in marrying when she has given birth to a child even when she is bleeding (after the birth of the child) except that her husband should not go near her until she is purified.

'Why do I see you adorned? Perhaps you want to get married, but by Allah you will not get married until four months and ten days have passed.' Subai'ah said: 'When he said that to me, I put on my clothes in the evening and went to the Messenger of Allah and asked him about that. He ruled that it had become permissible for me to marry when I gave birth, and he told me to get married if I wanted to.'"

‘Ubaid Allah bin ‘Abd Allah bin ‘Utbah said that his father wrote (a letter) to ‘Abd Allaah bin Al Arqam Al Zuhri asking him to visit Subai’ah daughter of Al Harith Al Aslamiyyah and ask her about her story and what the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ said to her when she asked his opinion (about her). So, ‘Umar bin Abd allah wrote in reply to ‘Abd Allah bin ‘Utbah informing him what she told him. She told that she was under (i.e., the wife of) Sa’d bin Khawlah who belonged to Banu Amir bin Luwayy. He was one of those who participated in the battle of Badr. He died at the Farwell Pilgrimage while she was pregnant. Soon after his death she gave birth to a child. When she was purified from her bleeding after child birth she adorned herself for seekers in marriage. Then Abu Al Sanabil bin Ba’kah a man from Banu Abd Al Dar entered upon her and said to her “What is the matter seeing you adorned, perhaps you are seeking marriage? I swear by Allah you cannot marry until four months and ten days pass away. Saubai’ah said “When she said this to me, I gathered my clothes on me when the evening came and I came to the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ and asked him about that. He told me that I became lawful when I had delivered a child. He suggested me to marry if I wished. Ibn Shihab said “I do not see any harm if she marries when she gives birth to the child, even though she had the bleeding after the child birth, but her husband should not have sexual intercourse till she is purified.

[Machine] Marwan bin Abdullah ibn Uthbah sent a message to Subay'ah bint Al-Harith, asking her about what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had given her. She informed him that she was under the guardianship of Saad ibn Khwala, but he passed away during the Farewell Hajj. She said that she had given birth to her child before four and ten months had passed since his death. Abu As-Sanabil, Ibn Ba'kkak, met her when she was experiencing postpartum bleeding and had applied kohl. He told her to wait for forty menstrual periods or their equivalent before considering marriage again. She then went to the Prophet ﷺ and informed him about what Abu As-Sanabil had said. The Prophet ﷺ told her that she was allowed to remarry as soon as she completed her postpartum bleeding.

[Machine] He informed him that he and Ibn Abbas met with Abu Hurairah and they mentioned a man whose wife dies and he remarries after a few nights. Ibn Abbas said that her waiting period is the end of the two terms (the waiting period for pregnancy and for being widowed). Abu Salama said that when she gives birth, her waiting period ends. They disagreed about it, so Abu Hurairah said, "I am with my nephew's son, meaning Abu Salama." So they sent Kureib, the slave of Ibn Abbas, to Umm Salamah and he asked her. Umm Salamah mentioned that Subay'ah bint al-Harith al-Aslamiyah died and her husband passed away and after him she got her period after a few nights, and a man from Bani Abd Ad-Dar proposed to her and informed her that she had her period. She wanted to marry someone else, so Abu As-Sanabil said to her, "Indeed, you have not completed your waiting period." Subay'ah mentioned this to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he ordered her to get married.  

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ اجْتَمَعَ هُوَ وَابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ عِنْدَ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ فَذَكَرُوا الرَّجُلَ يُتَوَفَّى عَنِ الْمَرْأَةِ فَتَلِدُ بَعْدَهُ بِلَيَالٍ قَلَائِلَ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ حِلُّهَا آخِرُ الْأَجَلَيْنِ وَقَالَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ إِذَا وَضَعَتْ فَقَدْ حَلَّتْ فَتَرَاجَعَا فِي ذَلِكَ بَيْنَهُمَا فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَا مَعَ ابْنِ أَخِي يَعْنِي أَبَا سَلَمَةَ فَبَعَثُوا كُرَيْبًا مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ إِلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ فَسَأَلَهَا فَذَكَرَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ أَنَّ سُبَيْعَةَ بِنْتَ الْحَارِثِ الْأَسْلَمِيَّةَ مَاتَ عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا فَنَفِسَتْ بَعْدَهُ بِلَيَالٍ وَأَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي عَبْدِ الدَّارِ يُكَنَّى أَبَا السَّنَابِلِ خَطَبَهَا وَأَخْبَرَهَا أَنَّهَا قَدْ حَلَّتْ فَأَرَادَتْ أَنْ تَتَزَوَّجَ غَيْرَهُ فَقَالَ لَهَا أَبُو السَّنَابِلِ فَإِنَّكِ لَمْ تَحِلِّينَ فَذَكَرَتْ سُبَيْعَةُ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ «فَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَتَزَوَّجَ»  

That she was married to Sad bin Khaula who was from the tribe of Bani 'Amr bin Luai, and was one of those who fought the Badr battle. He died while she wa pregnant during Hajjat-ul-Wada.' Soon after his death, she gave birth to a child. When she completed the term of deliver (i.e. became clean), she prepared herself for suitors. Abu As-Sanabil bin Bu'kak, a man from the tribe of Bani Abd-ud-Dal called on her and said to her, "What! I see you dressed up for the people to ask you in marriage. Do you want to marry By Allah, you are not allowed to marry unless four months and ten days have elapsed (after your husband's death)." Subai'a in her narration said, "When he (i.e. Abu As-Sanabil) said this to me. I put on my dress in the evening and went to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and asked him about this problem. He gave the verdict that I was free to marry as I had already given birth to my child and ordered me to marry if I wished." (Using translation from Bukhārī 3991)

[Machine] Marwan bin Abdullah ibn Uthbah sent a message to Su'aybah bint Al-Harith, asking her about the instruction given to her by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. She informed him that she was under the guardianship of Sa'd bin Khawlah, and he passed away during the Farewell Pilgrimage while she was pregnant. She gave birth to her child before four months and ten days had passed since his death. Then Abu As-Sinabil bin Ba'kkak met her when she had finished her childbirth period, and she had put on kohl. He said to her, "Perhaps you want to get married, as it has been four months and ten days since your husband's death." She said, "So I went to the Prophet ﷺ and mentioned to him what Abu As-Sinabil had said. The Prophet ﷺ replied, 'You are allowed to marry, as your 'iddah ended when you gave birth.'"  

أَرْسَلَ مَرْوَانُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عُتْبَةَ إِلَى سُبَيْعَةَ بِنْتِ الْحَارِثِ يَسْأَلُهَا عَمَّا أَفْتَاهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ تَحْتَ سَعْدِ بْنِ خَوْلَةَ فَتُوُفِّيَ عَنْهَا فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ وَكَانَ بَدْرِيًّا فَوَضَعَتْ حَمْلَهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَمْضِي لَهَا أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرًا مِنْ وَفَاتِهِ فَلَقِيَهَا أَبُو السَّنَابِلِ بْنُ بَعْكَكٍ حِينَ تَعَلَّتْ مِنْ نِفَاسِهَا وَقَدِ اكْتَحَلَتْ فَقَالَ لَعَلَّكِ تُرِيدِينَ النِّكَاحَ إِنَّهَا أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرٌ مِنْ وَفَاةِ زَوْجِكِ قَالَتْ فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرْتُ لَهُ مَا قَالَ أَبُو السَّنَابِلِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «قَدْ حَلَلْتِ حِينَ وَضَعْتِ حَمْلَكِ»  

[Machine] Ibn Abbas and Abu Huraira had a conversation about a man who dies and after his death his wife remarries after a short period. I said, "If she remarries, then she has become halal (permissible)." Ibn Abbas said, "Her waiting period is the end of the two waiting periods." So they both reconsidered their opinions. Abu Huraira said, "I am with the opinion of my nephew, Abu Salama." They sent Kuraib, the servant of Ibn Abbas, to Umm Salama, and she said, "Indeed, Subay'a remarried after the death of her husband after forty nights, and a man from the Banu Abd ad-Dar clan proposed to her and informed us that she has become halal. She wanted to marry someone else, so Abu as-Sanabil said to her, 'Indeed, you are not halal.' So Subay'a mentioned this to the Messenger of Allah, and he ordered her to get married."
