was amongst them. I mentioned the narration of `Abdullah bin `Utba regarding the question of Subai’a
bint Al-Harith. `Abdur-Rahman said, “But `Abdullah’s uncle used not to say so.” I said, “I am too

the pregnant widow whose husband had died?” He replied, “Ibn Mas`ud said, ‘Why do you impose on
her the hard order and don’t let her make use of the leave? The shorter Sura of women (i.e. Surat-at-
Talaq) was revealed after the longer Sura (i.e. Surat-al-Baqara).” (i.e. Her ‘Idda is up till she delivers.)
Sahih al-Bukhari 4327 (Book 65, Hadith 55)
The above hadith is from the Sahih al-Buhari collection of hadiths. Within the Islamic scholarly tradition, few works hold as much weight as Sahih al-Bukhari. This vast compilation, assembled by the Persian scholar al-Bukhārī circa 847, is a cornerstone of Sunni faith and practice. It is one of the six canonical hadith collections known collectively as the Kutub al-Sittah. Imam al-Bukhārī’s work is particularly celebrated for its author’s stringent criteria in verifying the chain of narration (isnad), resulting in a trusted body of over 7,500 hadiths organized into 97 distinct chapters that cover every aspect of life.
