It was narrated that Masruq and 'Amr bin 'Utbah wrote to Subai' ah bint Harith, asking about her case. She wrote to them saying that she gave birth twenty-five days after her husband died. Then she prepared herself, seeking to remarry. Abu Sanabil bin Ba'kak passed by her and said: "You are in a hurry; observe waiting period for the longer period, four months and ten days." "S0 I went to the Prophet P.B.U.H and said: '0 Messenger of Allah, pray for forgiveness for me,' He said: 'Why is that?' I told him (what had happened). He said: 'If you find a righteous husband then marry him.''' (Sahih)
