Hadith 35039
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar
was asked about a woman whose husband died while she was pregnant, and
he said, "When she gives birth, she is free to marry." A man of the
Ansar who was with him told him that Umar ibn al-Khattab had said,
"Had she given birth while her husband was still on his bed, unburied,
she would be free to marry."
Muwatta Malik Book 29, Hadith 93

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdu Rabbih ibn Said ibn Qays
that Abu Salama ibn Abd ar-Rahman said that Abdullah ibn Abbas and Abu
Hurayra were asked when a pregnant woman whose husband had died could
remarry. Ibn Abbas said, "At the end of two periods." Abu Hurayra
said, "When she gives birth, she is free to marry." Abu Salama ibn Abd
ar-Rahman visited Umm Salama, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, and asked her about it Umm Salama said,
''Subaya al-Aslamiya gave birth half a month after the death of her
husband, and two men asked to marry her. One was young and the other
was old. She preferred the young man and so the older man said, 'You
are not free to marry yet.' Her family were away and he hoped that
when her family came, they would give her to him. She went to the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and he
said, 'You are free to marry, so marry whomever you wish.' " Muwatta Malik Book 29, Hadith 92
