حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ عَنْ أَبِي السَّنَابِلِ قَالَ
وَضَعَتْ سُبَيْعَةُ الأَسْلَمِيَّةُ بِنْتُ الْحَارِثِ حَمْلَهَا بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ زَوْجِهَا بِبِضْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ لَيْلَةً فَلَمَّا تَعَلَّتْ مِنْ نِفَاسِهَا تَشَوَّفَتْ فَعِيبَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهَا وَذُكِرَ أَمْرُهَا لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنْ تَفْعَلْ فَقَدْ مَضَى أَجَلُهَا

"Subai'ah Aslamiyyah bint Harith gave birth twenty-odd days after her husband died. When her postnatal bleeding ended, she adorned herself, and was criticized for doing that. Her case was mentioned to the Prophet ﷺ and he said: 'If she does that, then her waiting period is over."'

- Ibn Ḥajar al-ʿAsqalānī
وقد أخرج الترمذي والنسائي قصة سبيعة من رواية الأسود عند أبي السنابل بسند على شرط الشيخين إلى الأسود وهو من كبار التابعين من أصحاب ابن مسعود ولم يوصف بالتدليس فالحديث صحيح على شرط مسلم لكن البخاري على قاعدته في اشتراط ثبوت اللقاء ولو مرة فلهذا قال ما نقله الترمذي
