Malik related to me from Yazid ibn Abdullah ibn al-Hadi fromMuhammad ibn Ibrahim ibn al-Harith at-Taymi from Sulayman ibn Yasarfrom Abdullah ibn Abi Umayya that a woman's husband died, and she didthe idda of four months and ten days. Then she married when she wasfree to marry. She stayed with her husband for four and a half months,then gave birth to a fully developed child. Her husband went to Umaribn al-Khattab and mentioned that to him, so Umar called some of theold women of the Jahiliyya and asked them about that. One of the womensaid, "I will tell you what happened with this woman. When her husbanddied, she was pregnant by him, but then the blood flowed from herbecause of his death and the child became dry in her womb. When hernew husband had intercourse with her and the water reached the child,the child moved in the womb and grew." Umar ibn al-Khattab believedher and separated them (until she had completed her idda). Umar said,"Only good has reached me about you two," and he connected the childto the first husband.
