The Sufficient (Vol 5) · Hadith 1621 (#Ḥadīth #5)

5- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ جَمِيعاً عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ الْمَرْأَةُ الْحُبْلَى يُتَوَفَّى عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا فَتَضَعُ وَتَزَوَّجُ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَعْتَدَّ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْراً فَقَالَ إِنْ كَانَ الَّذِي تَزَوَّجَهَا دَخَلَ بِهَا فُرِّقَ بَيْنَهُمَا وَلَمْ تَحِلَّ لَهُ أَبَداً وَاعْتَدَّتْ بِمَا بَقِيَ عَلَيْهَا مِنْ عِدَّةِ الأوَّلِ وَاسْتَقْبَلَتْ عِدَّةً أُخْرَى مِنَ الآخَرِ ثَلاثَةَ قُرُوءٍ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ دَخَلَ بِهَا فُرِّقَ بَيْنَهُمَا وَأَتَمَّتْ مَا بَقِيَ مِنْ عِدَّتِهَا وَهُوَ خَاطِبٌ مِنَ الْخُطَّابِ.

5. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad and Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad all from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn abu Nasr from ‘Abd al-Karim from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following: “I once asked abu Ja’far , about the case of a woman who was pregnant and her husband died. She gave birth and married before the passing of four months and ten days. He (the Imam) said, ‘If the one who has married has gone to bed with her, they must separate from each other and she is not lawful for him forever. She must complete the remaining of her first waiting period and complete another waiting period in future for three cycles of menses; but if he has not gone to bed with her, they must separate from each other and she must complete the remaining of her waiting period. He then is one of those who can propose to her for marriage.’”
