Abu Salama bin 'Abdul Rahman and Ibn 'Abbas (RA) got together in the house of Abu Hurairah (RA) and began to discuss about the woman who gave birth to a child a few nights after the death of her husband. Ibn 'Abbas (RA) said: Her 'Idda is that period which is longer of the two (between four months and ten days and the birth of the child, whichever is longer). AbuSalama, however said: Her period of 'Idda is over (with the birth of the child), and they were contending with each other over this issue, whereupon Abu Hurairah (RA) said: I subscribe (to the view) held by my nephew (i. e. Abu Salama). They sent Kuraib (the freed slave of Ibn 'Abbas) to Umm Salamah to ask her about it. He came (back) to them and informed them that Umm Salamah (Allah be pleased with her) said that Subai'ah al-Aslamiyya gave birth to a child after the death of her husband when the few flights (had hardly) passed and she made mention of that to Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and he commanded her to marry.
