Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn 'Urwa from his
father that al-Miswar ibn Makhrama told him that Subaya al-Aslamiya
gave birth a few nights after the death of her husband. The Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said to her, "You
are free to marry, so marry whomever you wish."

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."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from Sulayman
ibn Yasar that Abdullah ibn Abbas and Abu Salama ibn Abd ar-Rahman ibn
Awf differed on the question of a wornan who gave birth a few nights
after the death of her husband. Abu Salama said, "When she gives birth
to the child she is carrying, she is free to marry." Ibn Abbas said,
"At the end of two periods." Abu Hurayra came and said, "I am with my
nephew", meaning Abu Salama. They sent Kurayb, a mawla of Abdullah ibn
Abbas to Umm Salama, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, to ask her about it. He came back and told them that
she had said that Subaya al-Aslamiya had given birth a few nights
after the death of her husband, and she had brought the matter to the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and he
had said, "You are free to marry, so marry whomever you wish."
