Abdullah said:“The dowry is hers, and the inheritance is hers and she has to observe the waiting period.”Ma'qil bin Sinan Al-Ashja'i said:“I saw the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) pass a similar ruling concerning Birwa' bint Washiq.”(Sahih) Another chain from 'Alqamah, from Abdullah, with similar wording.
