That a woman whose husband had died, a man made a marriage proposal to her by allusion, until she was alone with her husband's... She remained four months and half a month, then she gave birth. The man said: "What is this?" She said: "It is from you." He said: "No, by Allah, it is not from me." The matter of them both reached 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, so he sent to the woman and asked her. She said: "By Allah, it is his child." He asked about the woman and was told nothing but good about her. So 'Umar was perplexed. Then he sent to women from the women of the Jahiliyyah and gathered them, asked them about her matter, and informed them of her story. A woman among them said to her: "Were you menstruating?" She said: "Yes." She said: "I will inform you of the story of this woman. She became pregnant from her first husband, and she used to bleed on him, so her child was kept in place by the bleeding. When she married and the water from her husband reached her, it revived and moved, and the blood stopped. So this is why she gave birth after a full nine months." The women said: "She has spoken the truth, this is its condition." So 'Umar separated them and said: "I did not separate you two out of anger at you. I asked about you both and I received nothing but good. But I wanted the women to be cautious, so they do not hasten into marriage."
