Abdullah bin Utba wrote to Umar bin Abdullah bin Arqam Zuhri telling him to visit Subayah bint Harith Aslamiyya and ask her about the ruling the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had given her regarding her pregnancy.Umar bin Abdullah went in to see her and questioned her, and she told him that she had been married to Saad bin Khawla, who was among the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who fought at Badr. He died during the Farewell Pilgrimage, and she gave birth before four months and ten days had passed since her husband's death.When she had recovered from her postnatal bleeding, Abu Sanabil, a man from the tribe of Banu Abd al-Dar, came in to see her and noticed that she had adorned herself. He said, "Perhaps you are hoping to remarry before four months and ten days have passed?"She said, "When I heard that from Abu Sanabil, I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and told him what had happened."The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "You became permitted to marry the moment you delivered your child."
أخبرنا كثير بن عبيد قال حدثنا محمد بن حرب عن الزبيدي عن الزهري
أن عبد الله بن عتبة كتب إلى عمر بن عبد الله بن الأرقم الزهري أن ادخل على سبيعة بنت الحارث الأسلمية فاسألها عما أفتاها به رسول الله ﷺ في حملها قال فدخل عليها عمر بن عبد الله فسألها فأخبرته أنها كانت تحت سعد بن خولة وكان من أصحاب رسول الله ﷺ ممن شهد بدرا فتوفي عنها في حجة الوداع فولدت قبل أن تمضي لها أربعة أشهر وعشرا من وفاة زوجها فلما تعلت من نفاسها دخل عليها أبو السنابل رجل من بني عبد الدار فرآها متجملة فقال لعلك تريدين النكاح قبل أن تمر عليك أربعة أشهر وعشرا قالت فلما سمعت ذلك من أبي السنابل جئت رسول الله ﷺ فحدثته حديثي فقال رسول الله ﷺ قد حللت حين وضعت حملك
