Alqamah narrates that a case was presented to Sayyiduna Abdullah in which a woman had married a man, and shortly after, he passed away. He had neither fixed her dowry nor had they been alone together. What is the ruling regarding this? Various companions presented different opinions. Sayyiduna Ibn Mas’ud said: My opinion is that this woman should receive a dowry similar to that of women like her, she will also receive a share in inheritance, and she will observe the waiting period (‘iddah). Upon hearing this decision, Sayyiduna Ma’qil bin Sinan testified that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had given exactly such a verdict regarding Barwa’ bint Washiq.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ma'qil bin Sinan that once, on the eighteenth night of Ramadan, he was having cupping done when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by him. Seeing him in this state, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The one who does cupping and the one who gets it done, both their fasts are broken.
