وحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ، وَحَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، وَتَقَارَبَا فِي اللَّفْظِ، قَالَ حَرْمَلَةُ: حَدَّثَنَا، وقَالَ أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ: أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، حَدَّثَنِي يُونُسُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، أَنَّ أَبَاهُ كَتَبَ إِلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْأَرْقَمِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، يَأْمُرُهُ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ عَلَى سُبَيْعَةَ بِنْتِ الْحَارِثِ الْأَسْلَمِيَّةِ، فَيَسْأَلَهَا عَنْ حَدِيثِهَا، وَعَمَّا قَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ اسْتَفْتَتْهُ، فَكَتَبَ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ يُخْبِرُهُ، أَنَّ سُبَيْعَةَ أَخْبَرَتْهُ: أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ تَحْتَ سَعْدِ بْنِ خَوْلَةَ وَهُوَ فِي بَنِي عَامِرِ بْنِ لُؤَيٍّ، وَكَانَ مِمَّنْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا، فَتُوُفِّيَ عَنْهَا فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ وَهِيَ حَامِلٌ، فَلَمْ تَنْشَبْ أَنْ وَضَعَتْ حَمْلَهَا بَعْدَ وَفَاتِهِ، فَلَمَّا تَعَلَّتْ مِنْ نِفَاسِهَا، تَجَمَّلَتْ لِلْخُطَّابِ، فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا أَبُو السَّنَابِلِ بْنُ بَعْكَكٍ - رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي عَبْدِ الدَّارِ - فَقَالَ لَهَا: مَا لِي أَرَاكِ مُتَجَمِّلَةً؟ لَعَلَّكِ تَرْجِينَ النِّكَاحَ، إِنَّكِ، وَاللهِ، مَا أَنْتِ بِنَاكِحٍ حَتَّى تَمُرَّ عَلَيْكِ أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرٌ، قَالَتْ سُبَيْعَةُ: فَلَمَّا قَالَ لِي ذَلِكَ، جَمَعْتُ عَلَيَّ ثِيَابِي حِينَ أَمْسَيْتُ، فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ، «فَأَفْتَانِي بِأَنِّي قَدْ حَلَلْتُ حِينَ وَضَعْتُ حَمْلِي، وَأَمَرَنِي بِالتَّزَوُّجِ إِنْ بَدَا لِي»، قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ: «فَلَا أَرَى بَأْسًا أَنْ تَتَزَوَّجَ حِينَ وَضَعَتْ، وَإِنْ كَانَتْ فِي دَمِهَا، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ لَا يَقْرَبُهَا زَوْجُهَا حَتَّى تَطْهُرَ.

The 'Iddah of a woman whose husband had died, and the like, ends when she gives birth.
He would go to Subai'ah bint al-Hirith al-Aslamiyya ( رضی اللہ عنہا) and ask her about a verdict from him which Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) gave her when she had asked that from him (in regard to the termination of 'Idda at the birth of a child) 'Umar bin Abdullah wrote to 'Abdullah bin 'Utba informing him that Subai'ah رضی اللہ عنہا had told him that she had been married to Sa'd bin Khaula and he belonged to the tribe of Amir bin Lu'ayy, and was one of those who participated in the Battle of Badr, and he died in the Farewell Pilgrimage and she had been in the family way at that time. And much time had not elapsed that she gave birth to a child after his death and when she was free from the effects of childbirth she embellished herself for those who had to give proposals of marriage. Abdul-Sunabil bin Ba'kak (from Banu 'Abdul-Dar) came to her and said: 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 Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) 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.
