tirmidhi:1194Qutaybah > al-Layth > Yaḥyá b. Saʿīd > Sulaymān b. Yasār > Abū Hurayrah And Ibn ʿAbbās And ʾAbā Salamah b. ʿAbd al-Raḥman Tadhākarūā al-Mutawaffá > Hā Zawjuhā al-Ḥāmil Taḍaʿ ʿInd Wafāh Zawjihā > Ibn ʿAbbās Taʿtad Ākhir al-Ajalayn > Abū Salamah Bal Taḥil Ḥīn Taḍaʿ > Abū Hurayrah > Maʿ

Abu Hurairah, Ibn Abbas and Abu Salamah bin Abdur-Rahman mentioned the pregnant women whose husband died and she gave birth after the death of her husband. So Ibn Abbas said: "She observes Iddah until the end of the two terms." Abu Salamah said: "Rather, she is allowed when she gives birth." Abu Hurairah said: "I am with my nephew," meaning Abu Salamah.So he sent a message to Umm Salamah the wife of the Prophet. She said: "Subai'ah Al-Aslamiyyah gave birth a short time after her husband died, so she sought the judgment of the Messenger of Allah and he ordered her to get married."  

Abū ʿĪsá said that this Ḥadīth is Ḥasan-Ṣaḥīḥ.

وَقَالَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بَلْ تَحِلُّ حِينَ تَضَعُ وَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَا مَعَ ابْنِ أَخِي يَعْنِي أَبَا سَلَمَةَ فَأَرْسَلُوا إِلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ قَدْ وَضَعَتْ سُبَيْعَةُ الأَسْلَمِيَّةُ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ زَوْجِهَا بِيَسِيرٍ فَاسْتَفْتَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَتَزَوَّجَ

Her 'Idda is that period which is longer of the two (between four months and ten days and the birth of the child, whichever is longer). AbuSalama, however said: Her period of 'Idda is over (with the birth of the child), and they were contending with each other over this issue, whereupon Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) said: I subscribe (to the view) held by my nephew (i. e. Abu Salama). They sent Kuraib (the freed slave of Ibn 'Abbas) to Umm Salama to ask her about it. He came (back) to them and informed them that Umm Salama (Allah be pleased with her) said that Subai'ah al-Aslamiyya gave birth to a child after the death of her husband when the few flights (had hardly) passed and she made mention of that to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he commanded her to marry.

"(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."

[Machine] Abu Hurayrah, Ibn 'Abbas, and Abu Salamah gathered together and discussed a matter that comes up after the death of a husband. Ibn 'Abbas said, "It is the last of the two options," and Abu Salamah said, "When she completes her 'iddah, she is free to marry." Abu Hurayrah said, "I am with the opinion of my nephew Ibn 'Abbas." So they sent Kuraib to Umm Salamah, and she mentioned the narration of Subay'ah that the Prophet ﷺ instructed her to get married.
