Volume 6, Book 60, Number 432:
Narrated Abu Salama:
A man came to Ibn 'Abbas while Abu Huraira was sitting with him and said, "Give me your verdict
regarding a lady who delivered a baby forty days after the death of her husband." Ibn 'Abbas said,
"This indicates the end of one of the two prescribed periods." I said "For those who are pregnant, their
prescribed period is until they deliver their burdens." Abu Huraira said, I agree with my cousin (Abu
Salama)." Then Ibn 'Abbas sent his slave, Kuraib to Um Salama to ask her (regarding this matter). She
replied. "The husband of Subai 'a al Aslamiya was killed while she was pregnant, and she delivered a
baby forty days after his death. Then her hand was asked in marriage and Allah's Apostle married
her (to somebody). Abu As-Sanabil was one of those who asked for her hand in marriage".
