Abdullah bin Abu Malika reports: I asked Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zubair (may Allah be pleased with them both) about a man who gives his wife an irrevocable divorce, and then that man dies during the woman’s waiting period (‘iddah). So Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zubair (may Allah be pleased with them both) informed: Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf divorced his wife Tamadur bint Asbagh Kalbi, then during her waiting period Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) passed away, so Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) considered that woman to be an heir.
