حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ الْأَحْمَرُ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ وَكَانَتْ تَحْتَ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ أَنَّ أُخْتَهُ الْفُرَيْعَةَ ابْنَةَ مَالِكٍ قَالَتْ:
خَرَجَ زَوْجِي فِي طَلَبِ أَعْلَاجٍ لَهُ فَأَدْرَكَهُمْ بِطَرَفِ الْقَدُومِ، فَقَتَلُوهُ، فَجَاءَ نَعْيُ زَوْجِي وَأَنَا فِي دَارٍ مِنْ دُورِ الْأَنْصَارِ شَاسِعَةٍ عَنْ دُورِ أَهْلِي، فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّهُ أَتَانِي نَعْيُ زَوْجِي وَأَنَا فِي دَارٍ شَاسِعَةٍ عَنْ دَارِ أَهْلِي وَدَارِ إِخْوَتِي، وَلَمْ يَدَعْ مَالًا يُنْفَقُ عَلَيَّ، وَلَا [مَالَ وَرِثْتُهُ وَلَا دَارَ] [١]يَمْلِكُهَا، فَإِنْ رَأَيْتَ أَنْ تَأْذَنَ فَأَلْحَقَ بِدَارِ [٢]أَهْلِي وَدَارِ [٣]إِخْوَتِي، فَإِنَّهُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ وَأَجْمَعُ لِي فِي بَعْضِ أَمْرِي، قَالَ: فَافْعَلِي إِنْ شِئْتِ، قَالَتْ: فَخَرَجْتُ قَرِيرَةً عَيْنِي لِمَا قَضَى اللهُ عَلَى لِسَانِ رَسُولِهِ ﷺ [٤]، حَتَّى إِذَا كُنْتُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ أَوْ فِي بَعْضِ الْحُجْرَةِ دَعَانِي فَقَالَ: كَيْفَ زَعَمْتِ ؟ قَالَتْ: فَقَصَصْتُ عَلَيْهِ الْقِصَّةَ، فَقَالَ: امْكُثِي فِي بَيْتِكِ الَّذِي كَانَ فِيهِ نَعْيُ زَوْجِكِ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ الْكِتَابُ أَجَلَهُ، قَالَتْ: فَاعْتَدَدْتُ فِيهِ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرًا

Machine translation, not reviewed
My husband went out in pursuit of some non-Arab slaves of his, and he caught up with them at the edge of al-Qadum, and they killed him. The news of my husband's death came while I was in a house of the Ansar far from my family's houses. So I came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: "O Messenger of Allah, the news of my husband's death came to me while I am in a house far from my family's house and my brothers' house, and he left no wealth to spend on me, and no wealth that I inherited, nor a house that he owns. So if you see fit to permit me, I will go to my family's house and my brothers' house, for it is more beloved to me and more comprehensive for me in some of my affairs." He said: "Do so if you wish." She said: "So I went out, my eye comforted by what Allah had decreed through the tongue of His Messenger ﷺ. Then, when I was in the mosque or in some of the chamber, he called me and said: 'How did you say?' So I related the story to him. He said: 'Remain in your house where the news of your husband's death reached you until the Decree reaches its term.' She said: 'So I observed the 'iddah there for four months and ten days.'"
