حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ عَنْ عَمَّتِهِ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ أَنَّ الْفُرَيْعَةَ بِنْتَ مَالِكِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ وَهِيَ أُخْتُ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ أَخْبَرَتْهَا
أَنَّهَا جَاءَتْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ تَسْأَلُهُ أَنْ تَرْجِعَ إِلَى أَهْلِهَا فِي بَنِي خُدْرَةَ فَإِنَّ زَوْجَهَا خَرَجَ فِي طَلَبِ أَعْبُدٍ لَهُ أَبَقُوا حَتَّى إِذَا كَانُوا بِطَرَفِ الْقَدُومِ لَحِقَهُمْ فَقَتَلُوهُ قَالَتْ فَسَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ أَرْجِعَ إِلَى أَهْلِي فِي بَنِي خُدْرَةَ فَإِنَّ زَوْجِي لَمْ يَتْرُكْنِي فِي مَسْكَنٍ يَمْلِكُهُ وَلاَ نَفَقَةَ قَالَتْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَعَمْ قَالَتْ فَانْصَرَفْتُ حَتَّى إِذَا كُنْتُ فِي الْحُجْرَةِ نَادَانِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَوْ أَمَرَ بِي فَنُودِيتُ لَهُ فَقَالَ كَيْفَ قُلْتِ فَرَدَّدْتُ عَلَيْهِ الْقِصَّةَ الَّتِي ذَكَرْتُ لَهُ مِنْ شَأْنِ زَوْجِي فَقَالَ امْكُثِي فِي بَيْتِكِ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ الْكِتَابُ أَجَلَهُ قَالَتْ فَاعْتَدَدْتُ فِيهِ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرًا قَالَتْ فَلَمَّا كَانَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ أَرْسَلَ إِلَىَّ فَسَأَلَنِي عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَاتَّبَعَهُ وَقَضَى بِهِ

Yahya related to me from Malik from Said ibn Ishaq ibn Kab ibn Ujra from his paternal aunt, Zaynab bint Kab ibn Ujra that al-Furaya bint Malik ibn Sinan, the sister of Abu Said al-Khudri, informed her that she went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and asked to be able to return to her people among the Banu Khudra since her husband had gone out in search of some of his slaves who had run away and he had caught up with them near al-Qudum, (which is 6 miles from Madina), and they had killed him. She said, "I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ if I could return to my people in the Banu Khudra, as my husband had not left me in a dwelling which belonged to him, and had left me no maintenance. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said,'Yes.' So I left. When I was in the courtyard, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called me or summoned me, and I answered him. He said, 'What did you say?' I repeated the story about my husband. He said, 'Stay in your house until what is written reaches its term.' I did the idda in the house for four months and ten days." She added, "When Uthman ibn Affan sent for me, I told him that, and he followed it and made decisions by it."

machine translationSaʿd b. Isḥāq b. Kaʿb b. ʿUjrah narrates it, and there is disagreement about him. Mālik b. Anas, Ḥammād b. Zayd, Shuʿbah, Yaḥyā b. Saʿīd al-Qaṭṭān, al-Darāwardī, ʿAbdullāh b. Abī Bakr and ʿUbaydullāh b. ʿUmar narrated it from Saʿd b. Isḥāq, from his paternal aunt Zaynab bt. Kaʿb b. ʿUjrah, who was the wife of Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī, from Furayʿah. Yaḥyā b. Saʿīd al-Anṣārī also narrated it, and there is disagreement about him. Ibn Idrīs narrated it from Yaḥyā, from Saʿd, from his aunt Zaynab, as a mursal report. Jarīr said, from Yaḥyā b. Saʿīd, from Saʿd, from his aunt Zaynab, also as a mursal report. Suwayd b. ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz said, from Yaḥyā, from Saʿd, from Furayʿah, and did not mention Zaynab. Yazīd b. Hārūn said, from Yaḥyā, from Isḥāq b. Saʿd, but he only meant Saʿd b. Isḥāq. Al-Zuhrī also narrated this ḥadīth, and there is disagreement about him. Al-Jarrāḥ b. al-Minhāl narrated it from al-Zuhrī that Saʿd b. Isḥāq informed him, from Zaynab, from Furayʿah, but al-Zuhrī did not hear from Saʿd. Yūnus narrated it from al-Zuhrī, who said: Mālik b. Anas narrated to me. Ibn Wahb contradicted him and narrated it from Yūnus, from al-Zuhrī, who said: someone who heard Saʿd b. Isḥāq narrated to me, without naming him. Maʿmar said, from al-Zuhrī: it reached me from Saʿd b. Isḥāq. The correct version is the saying of those who said: from Saʿd b. Isḥāq, from his aunt Zaynab, from al-Furayʿah, from the Prophet ﷺ.
