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 صلى الله عليه وسلم 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 صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنْ أَرْجِعَ إِلَى أَهْلِي فِي بَنِي خُدْرَةَ فَإِنَّ زَوْجِي لَمْ يَتْرُكْنِي فِي مَسْكَنٍ يَمْلِكُهُ وَلاَ نَفَقَةَ . قَالَتْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " نَعَمْ " . قَالَتْ فَانْصَرَفْتُ حَتَّى إِذَا كُنْتُ فِي الْحُجْرَةِ نَادَانِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم 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 ibnUjra from his paternal aunt, Zaynab bint Kab ibn Ujra that al-Furayabint Malik ibn Sinan, the sister of Abu Said al-Khudri, informed herthat she went to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and granthim peace, and asked to be able to return to her people among the BanuKhudra since her husband had gone out in search of some of his slaveswho had run away and he had caught up with them near al-Qudum, (whichis 6 miles from Madina), and they had killed him. She said,"I asked the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant himpeace, if I could return to my people in the Banu Khudra, as myhusband had not left me in a dwelling which belonged to him, and hadleft me no maintenance. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless himand grant him peace, said,'Yes.' So I left. When I was in thecourtyard, the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant himpeace, called me or summoned me, and I answered him. He said, 'Whatdid you say?' I repeated the story about my husband. He said, 'Stay inyour house until what is written reaches its term.' I did the idda inthe house for four months and ten days." She added, "WhenUthman ibn Affan sent for me, I told him that, and he followed it andmade decisions by it." Translation Not Available
