Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #27362

Al-Ansari told us, Maan told us, Malik told us, on the authority of Saad bin Ishaq bin Ka’b bin Ujrah, on the authority of his paternal aunt, Zainab bint Ka’b. Ibn Ujrah said that Al-Furai’ah bint Malik ibn Sinan, who is the sister of Abu Sa’id Al-Khudri, told her that she had come to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace.

They did not think that the woman observing the waiting period should move from her husband’s house until her waiting period is over. This is the saying of Sufyan al-Thawri, al-Shafi’i, Ahmad, and Ishaq. Some of the people of Knowledge from the Companions of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, and others.
