Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #27352

Qutaibah narrated to us, Al-Layth narrated to us, on the authority of Yahya bin Saeed, on the authority of Suleiman bin Yasar, that Abu Hurairah, Ibn Abbas, and Abu Salamah bin Abd al-Rahman, remember that a pregnant woman whose husband has died should give birth when her husband dies, and Ibn Abbas said that she should observe the waiting period for the last two terms. Abu Salamah said, “Rather, she is permissible when she gives birth.” Abu Hurairah said, “I am with my nephew,” meaning Abu Salamah. So they sent for Umm Salamah, the wife of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace. She said: Subayah al-Aslamiya gave birth shortly after the death of her husband, so she consulted the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace. So he ordered her to get married. Abu Issa said: This is a good and authentic hadith.
