Sunan an-Nasa’i: Book 27, Hadith 140

It was narrated from Al-Fari’ah bint Malik that her husband went out to pursue some slaves and they killed him. Shu’bah and Ibn Juraij said: “She was in a remote house. She came with her brothers to the Messenger of Allah and told him (about the situation) and he granted her a concession. When she was leaving he called her back and said: ‘Stay in your house until the term prescribed is fulfilled.'”

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، وَابْنِ، جُرَيْجٍ وَيَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ وَمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ كَعْبٍ، عَنِ الْفَارِعَةِ بِنْتِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ زَوْجَهَا، خَرَجَ فِي طَلَبِ أَعْلاَجٍ فَقَتَلُوهُ – قَالَ شُعْبَةُ وَابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ وَكَانَتْ فِي دَارٍ قَاصِيَةٍ فَجَاءَتْ وَمَعَهَا أَخُوهَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَذَكَرُوا لَهُ فَرَخَّصَ لَهَا حَتَّى إِذَا رَجَعَتْ دَعَاهَا فَقَالَ ‏
“‏ اجْلِسِي فِي بَيْتِكِ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ الْكِتَابُ أَجَلَهُ ‏”‏ ‏.‏

Sunan an-Nasa’i: Book 27, Hadith 140

 
The above hadith is from the Sunan an-Nasa’i collection of hadiths. Sunan an-Nasa’i stands as one of the six canonical collections of hadith, known as the Kutub al-Sittah, which are foundational to Sunni Islamic jurisprudence and theology. This significant work was compiled by the esteemed 9th-century scholar Ahmad ibn Shu’ayb al-Nasa’i. The collection is distinguished by its author’s meticulous and rigorous methodology, which involved a stringent process for verifying the authenticity of each narration. By deliberately excluding traditions he deemed weak or fabricated, al-Nasa’i created a compilation of over 5,700 hadiths that is highly respected for its reliability and its focused emphasis on the authentic sayings, actions, and approvals of the Prophet Muhammad.
