It is narrated from Abu Salamah bin Abdur Rahman, he says: I went to Sayyidah Subai’ah bint Abi Barzah Aslamiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) and asked her about her matter. She said: I was married to Sa’d bin Khawlah, he passed away, and only two months after his death I gave birth to a child. Meanwhile, Abu Sanabil bin Ba’kkak from Banu Abdud-Dar sent me a marriage proposal. I was ready to marry, when my brother-in-law came to me. I had applied henna and was fully prepared. He said: O Subai’ah, what do you intend to do? I said: I want to get married. He said: By Allah! You cannot marry yet, until you have completed the waiting period of four months and ten days. Subai’ah (may Allah be pleased with her) says: I went to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and mentioned this to him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You have become lawful (halal), and you may marry.
