One morning, we saw the wives of the Prophet weeping, and each one of them had her family with her. I entered the Masjid and found it filled with people. Then 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, came, and went to the Prophet who was in his room. He greeted him with the Salam but no one answered. He greeted him again but no one answered. He greeted him (a third time) but no one answered. So he went back and called out: 'Bilal!' He came to the Prophet and said: 'Have you divorced your wives?' He said: 'No, but I have sworn an oath of abstention from them for a month.' So he stayed away from them for twenty-nine days, then he came and went into his wives.

:Telah mengabarkan kepada kami Abdul A'la bin Washil bin Abdul A'la berkata; telah menceritakan kepada kami Yahya bin Adam dari Sufyan dari Yahya bin Sa'id dari Sulaiman bin Yasar dari Kuraib dari Ummu Salamah dan Muhammad bin 'Amru dari Abu Salamah ia berkata Subai'ah melahirkan beberapa hari setelah suaminya meninggal kemudian Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam memerintahkannya agar menikah.

The Prophet swore an oath of abstention from his wives for a month and stayed in his room for twenty-nine days. It was said: 'O Messenger of Allah, did you not swear an oath of abstention for a month?' He said: 'This month is twenty-nine days.'

:Telah mengabarkan kepada kami Muhammad bin Salamah dari Ibnu Al Qasim dari Malik dari Yahya bin Sa'id dari Sulaiman bin Yasar bahwa Abdullah bin Abbas dan Abu Salamah bin Abdurrahman berselisih mengenai seorang wanita yang mengalami nifas beberapa malam setelah suaminya meninggal. Lalu Abdullah bin Abbas berpendapat Akhir dari dua masa 'iddah. Sedangkan Abu Salamah berpendapat Apabila ia telah mengalami nifas maka ia sudah halal. Kemudian Abu Hurairah datang dan berkata Aku bersama anak saudaraku Abu Salamah bin Abdurrahman kemudian mereka mengirim Kuraib mantan budak Ibnu Abbas kepada Ummu Salamah untuk menanyakan hal tersebut. Lalu Kuraib datang kepada mereka dan memberitahukan bahwa Ummu Salamah berkata 'Subai'ah melahirkan beberapa malam setelah suaminya meninggal.' Kemudian Ummu Salamah menceritakan hal tersebut kepada Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam beliau lalu bersabda: Engkau telah halal.
