Narrated Ibn ‘Umar:
The Prophet said to those who were involved in a case of Lian, “Your accounts are with Allah. One
of you two is a liar. You (husband) have right on her (wife).” The husband said, “My money, O Allah’s
Apostle!” The Prophet said, “You are not entitled to take back any money. If you have told the truth,
the Mahr that you paid, was for having sexual relations with her lawfully; and if you are a liar, then
you are less entitled to get it back.”

Narrated Mujahid:
(regarding the Verse): ‘If any of you dies and leaves wives behind,’ That was the period of the ‘Id –
dah which the widow was obliged to spend in the house of the late husband. Then Allah revealed:
And those of you who die and leave wives should bequeath for their wives a year’s maintenance and
residence without turning them out, but if they leave, there is no blame on you for what they do of
themselves, provided it is honorable (i.e. lawful marriage) (2.240) Mujahid said: Allah has ordered
that a widow has the right to stay for seven months and twenty days with her husband’s relatives
through her husband’s will and testament so that she will complete the period of one year (of ‘Iddah).
But the widow has the right to stay that extra period or go out of her husband’s house as is indicated
by the statement of Allah: ‘But if they leave there is no blame on you,… ‘ (2.240) Ibn ‘Abbas said: The
above Verse has cancelled the order of spending the period of the ‘Iddah at her late husband’s house,
and so she could spend her period of the ‘Iddah wherever she likes. And Allah says: ‘Without turning
them out.’ ‘Ata said: If she would, she could spend her period of the ‘Iddah at her husband’s house,
and live there according to her (husband’s) will and testament, and if she would, she could go out (of
her husband’s house) as Allah says: ‘There is no blame on you for what they do of themselves.’
(2.240) ‘Ata added: Then the Verses of inheritance were revealed and the order of residence (for the
widow) was cancelled, and she could spend her period of the ‘Iddah wherever she would like, and
she was no longer entitled to be accommodated by her husband’s family.

ment).” (In Al-Qasim’s versions Marwan said, “Have you not heard of the case of Fatima bint Qais?”
