Sahih Muslim Hadith 3723 – The ‘Iddah Of A

English

[3723] 57 – (1485) Sulaimân bin t. (UAo)—OV [y] Yasâr narrated that Abü Salamah bin 'Abdur-Rahmân and Ibn 'Abbâs met in the house of Abü Hurairah, and they were talking about a woman who gives birth a few days after her husband has died. Ibn 'Abbâs said: "Her 'Iddah is the longer of the two periods." Abü Salamah said: "Her 'Iddah is over." They started to dispute about that. Then Abü Hurairah said: "I am with my nephew" – meaning Abü Salamah. So they sent Kuraib, the freed slave of Ibn 'Abbâs, to Umm Salamah to ask her about that. He came to them and told them that Umm Salamah said: "Subai'ih Al-Aslamiyyah gave birth a few days after her husband died, and she mentioned that to the Messenger of Allah , who told her to get married."
