Sunan an-Nasai 3512 (Book 27, Hadith 124) #18124
'Iddah for Widows Who Give Birth After Husband's Death

SUMMARY: The hadith discusses the 'Iddah of a woman whose husband dies and she gives birth after her husband's death. Umm Salamah, the wife of the Prophet, consulted him and he told her to get married.

It was narrated from Sulaiman bin Yasir that Abu Hurairah, Ibn 'Abbas, and Abu Salamah bin 'Abdur-Rahman were talking about the 'Iddah of a woman whose husband dies, and she gives birth after her husband dies. Ibn 'Abbas said: "She should observe 'Iddah for the longer of the two periods". Abu Salamah said: "No, it becomes permissible for her to marry when she has given birth". Abu Hurairah said: "I agree with my brother's son". So they sent word to Umm Salamah, the wife of the Prophet, and she said: "Subai'ah Al-Aslamiyyah gave birth shortly after her husband died; she consulted the Messenger of Allah and he told her to get married".
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ يَحْيَى، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، وَابْنَ، عَبَّاسٍ وَأَبَا سَلَمَةَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ تَذَاكَرُوا عِدَّةَ الْمُتَوَفَّى عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا تَضَعُ عِنْدَ وَفَاةِ زَوْجِهَا فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ تَعْتَدُّ آخِرَ الأَجَلَيْنِ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بَلْ تَحِلُّ حِينَ تَضَعُ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَا مَعَ ابْنِ أَخِي ‏.‏ فَأَرْسَلُوا إِلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ فَقَالَتْ وَضَعَتْ سُبَيْعَةُ الأَسْلَمِيَّةُ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ زَوْجِهَا بِيَسِيرٍ فَاسْتَفْتَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَتَزَوَّجَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith discusses the Islamic ruling on a widow who gives birth after her husband has passed away. According to Ibn Abbas, she should observe an ‘idda period for the longer of two periods. Abu Salamah disagreed with this opinion and said that it would be permissible for her to marry once she has given birth. Abu Huraira agreed with his brother’s son’s opinion and they sent word to Umm Salamah, wife of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ who confirmed that Subai'a Al Aslamiyyah gave birth shortly after her husband died but was allowed by Prophet Muhammad ﷺ to get married again. This hadith teaches us that even in difficult situations such as widowhood, we should consult those around us who are knowledgeable in Islamic law before making any decisions or taking any actions so that we can make sure our actions are in accordance with Islamic teachings.
