Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdu Rabbih Ibn Said Ibn Qays that Abu Salama Ibn Abdulrahman said that Abdullah Ibn Abbas and Abu Huraira were asked when a pregnant woman whose husband had died could remarry. Ibn Abbas said; At the end of two periods. Abu Huraira said; When she gives birth; she is free to marry. Abu Salama Ibn Abdulrahman visited Umm Salamah; the wife of the Prophet; may Allah bless him and grant him peace; and asked her about it Umm Salamah said; Subaya AlAslamiya gave birth half a month after the death of her husband; and two men asked to marry her. One was young and the other was old. She preferred the young man and so the older man said; You are not free to marry yet. Her family were away and he hoped that when her family came; they would give her to him. She went to the Messenger of Allah; may Allah bless him and grant him peace; and he said; You are free to marry; so marry whomever you wish.
