Hum se Habban bin Musa Marwazi ne byaan kiya , kaha hum se Abdullah bin Mubarak ne , kaha hum ko Abdullah bin Aun ne khabar di , un se Muhammad bin Sireen ne byaan kiya ke main Ansar ki ek majlis mein hazir hua . Bare bare Ansari wahan maujood thay aur Abdur Rahman bin Abi Layla bhi maujood thay . Main ne wahan Subay'ah bint Harith ke baab se mutalliq Abdullah bin Utbah ki hadees ka zikr kiya . Abdur Rahman ne kaha lekin Abdullah bin Utbah ke chacha (Abdullah bin Masood razi Allahu anhu) aisa nahi kehte thay . (Muhammad bin Sireen ne kaha) ke main ne kaha ke phir to main ne ek aise buzurg Abdullah bin Utbah ke mutalliq jhoot bolne mein daleri ki hai ke jo Kufa mein abhi zinda maujood hain . Meri aawaz buland ho gayi thi . Ibn Sireen ne kaha ke phir jab main bahar nikla to raste mein Malik bin Aamir ya Malik bin Auf se mulaqat ho gayi . (rawi ko shak hai ke yeh Ibn Masood razi Allahu anhu ke rafeeqon mein se thay) Main ne un se poocha ke jis aurat ke shohar ka intiqal ho jaye aur woh hamal se ho to Ibn Masood razi Allahu anhu is ki iddat ke mutalliq kya fatwa dete thay ? Unhon ne kaha ke Ibn Masood razi Allahu anhu kehte thay ke tum log is hamila par sakhti ke mutalliq kyun sochte ho is par aasani nahi karte (is ko lambi) iddat ka hukm dete ho . Surah Nisa chhoti (Surah at-Talaq) lambi Surah Nisa ke baad nazil hui hai aur Ayub Sakhtiyani ne byaan kiya , un se Muhammad bin Sireen ne ke main Abu Atiyyah Malik bin Aamir se mila .

Aur Sulayman bin Harb aur al-Nu'man ne byaan kiya, ke hum se Hammad bin Zayd ne byaan kiya, un se Ayub ne aur un se Muhammad bin Sireen ne byaan kiya ke main ek majlis mein jis mein Abdur Rahman bin Abi Layla bhi thay maujood tha. Un ke shagird un ki bahut izzat kiya karte thay. Main ne wahan Subay'ah bint al-Harith ka Abdullah bin Utbah bin Masood se byaan kiya ke is par un ke shagird ne zaban aur aankhon ke ishare se hont kaat kar mujhe tanbeeh ki. Muhammad bin Sireen ne byaan kiya ke main samajh gaya aur kaha ke Abdullah bin Utbah Kufa mein abhi zinda maujood hain. Agar main un ki taraf bhi jhoot nisbat karta hoon to bari jurat ki baat ho gi mujhe tanbeeh karne wale sahab is par sharminda ho gaye aur Abdur Rahman bin Abi Layla ne kaha lekin un ke chacha to yeh baat nahi karte thay. (Ibn Sireen ne byaan kiya ke) phir main Abu Atiyyah Malik bin Aamir se mila aur in se yeh masla poocha woh bhi Subay'ah wali hadees byaan karne lage lekin main ne un se kaha Aap ne Abdullah bin Masood razi Allahu anhu se bhi is silsile mein kuch suna hai? Unhon ne byaan kiya ke hum Abdullah bin Masood razi Allahu anhu ki khidmat mein hazir thay to unhon ne kaha kya tum is par (jis ke shohar ka intiqal ho gaya aur woh hamila ho. Iddat ki muddat ko ttool de kar) sakhti karna chahte ho aur rukhsat o sahoolat dene ke liye tayyar nahi, baat yeh hai ke chhoti Surah Nisa yani (Surah at-Talaq) bari Surah an-Nisa ke baad nazil hui hai aur kaha «wa ulaatul ahmaali ajalu-hunna an yada'na hamla-hunna» al-aayat aur hamal waliyon ki iddat un ke hamal ka paida ho jaana hai.
