Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْبَكَّائِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَنْصُورٌ وَالْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ عَنْ أَبِي السَّنَابِلِ قَالَ وَلَدَتْ سُبَيْعَةُ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ زَوْجِهَا بِثَلَاثٍ وَعِشْرِينَ أَوْ خَمْسٍ وَعِشْرِينَ لَيْلَةً فَتَشَوَّفَتْ فَأُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأُخْبِرَ فَقَالَ إِنْ تَفْعَلْ فَقَدْ مَضَى أَجَلُهَا.
English Translation
Ziyad ibn 'Abdullah al-Bakka'i told us, he said: Mansur and al-A'mash told us, from Ibrahim, from al-Aswad, from Abu al-Sanabil, who said: Subay'ah gave birth twenty-three or twenty-five nights after the death of her husband, and she made herself presentable for remarriage. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, was approached and informed, and he said: If she does so, her waiting period has already passed.
