This same narration is also transmitted with another chain; the narrator named Qabeesah did not hear hadith from Sayyiduna Amr ibn al-As (may Allah be pleased with him). The correct wording in it is: "Do not confuse the rulings of the religion before us." This narration is mawquf (stopped at the companion).

Sayyiduna Amr ibn al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Do not confuse the command of the Sunnah of our Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) before us; its waiting period is equal to the waiting period of a widow, that is, the waiting period of an umm walad (four months and ten days)."

This narration is also transmitted with another chain of transmission.

Sayyiduna Amr ibn al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "When the master of an umm walad passes away, her waiting period (‘iddah) will be four months and ten days, and when she is set free, her waiting period will be three menstrual cycles." This narration is mawquf and this is correct; this narration is also mursal because the narrator named Qabisah did not hear hadith from Sayyiduna Amr ibn al-As (may Allah be pleased with him).

Sayyiduna Amr ibn al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "We will not play with the rulings of our religion (i.e., we will not state incorrect rulings); a free woman is free and a slave woman is a slave." What is meant by this is: the waiting period (‘iddah) of an umm walad is the same as that of a free woman.

Sayyiduna Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) says: "The waiting period (‘iddah) of an umm walad is equal to the waiting period of a free woman." (The narrator named Abdullah bin Ahmad says) My father has stated this: This narration is munkar (denounced). Sayyiduna Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) says: "The waiting period (‘iddah) of an umm walad is equal to the waiting period of a free woman."

It is narrated from Qabeesah bin Dhuwaib that Sayyiduna Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "The waiting period (‘iddah) of an umm walad is equal to the waiting period of a free woman."

Abu Hasan narrates: I asked Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) about a slave whose wife is a slave woman, and then he gives her two divorces, then both of them are freed together. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "Now if the man wishes, he can send a marriage proposal to that woman; the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) gave this ruling."

Abu Hasan narrates: I asked Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) about a slave whose wife is a slave woman, and then he gives her two divorces and the woman becomes separated from him, then both of them are freed together, so can the man send a marriage proposal to that woman? Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) replied: "Yes, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave this ruling."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When a slave woman is the wife of a man and that man gives her two divorces, then he buys that slave woman, she will not be lawful for him until she marries another husband (and becomes a widow or is divorced by him)."
