Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Sayyidah Subai'ah bint Harith (may Allah be pleased with her) gave birth to a child fifteen days after the death of her husband. Abu Sanabil came to her and said: It seems that the thought of marriage is revolving in your heart; you will not be permitted to do so until you complete the longer of the two waiting periods. Hearing this, she went to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and informed him about what Abu Sanabil had said. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Abu Sanabil is wrong; your waiting period has been completed. When a suitable or desirable proposal comes to you, come to me and inform me about it. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed her that her waiting period had been completed.
