It is narrated from Aswad that Sayyida Sabi’ah (may Allah be pleased with her) gave birth (to a child) a few days after her husband's death and she adorned herself. Abu al-Sanabil reproached her for this, and she mentioned it to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), so he instructed her to marry. (That is, he confirmed that her waiting period had ended and permitted her to adorn herself and marry.)
