English

[3722] 56 – (1484) 'Ubaidullâh – ii;-j (UAt)-O [v] bin 'Abdullâh bin 'Utbah bin 0 5 Mas'üd narrated that his father wrote to 'Umar bin 'Abdullâh bin Al-Arqam Az-ZuhrI, telling him to go to Subai'ah hint A1-UâriTh : -U A1-Aslamiyyah to ask her about her HadIth, and what the Messenger of Allah said to her when she consulted him. 'Umar bin 'Abdullâh wrote back to 'Abdullâh bin 'Utbah telling him that Subai'ah told him that she was married to Sa'd bin Ihaw1ah, one of Banü 'Amir bin Lu'ayy, who was one of those who had been present at (the Battle of) Badr. He died during the Farewell Pilgrimage while she was pregnant, and she gave birth shortly after he died. When her Nifâs ended, she adorned herself to receive offers of marriage. Abü As-Sanâbil bin Ba'kak – a man from Ban) 'Abd Ad-Dâr – entered upon her and said to her: "Why do I see you beautified? Perhaps you are hoping to get married? By Allah, you will not get married until four months and ten days have passed!" Subai'ah said: "When he said that to me, I got dressed that evening and went to the Messenger of Allah and asked him about that. He advised me that my 'Iddah had ended when I gave birth, and he told me to get married if I wanted to." Ibn Shihâb said: "I do not see anything wrong with (a woman) getting married after she has given birth, even if she is still bleeding, but her husband should not come close to her until she 'c L becomes pure." 4 L
