سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الْأَمَةِ إِذَا طُلِّقَتْ مَا عِدَّتُهَا قَالَ حَيْضَتَانِ أَوْ شَهْرَانِ حَتَّى تَحِيضَ قُلْتُ فَإِنْ تُوُفِّيَ عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا فَقَالَ إِنَّ عَلِيّاً ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ فِي أُمَّهَاتِ الْأَوْلَادِ لَا يَتَزَوَّجْنَ حَتَّى يَعْتَدِدْنَ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَ عَشْراً وَ هُنَّ إِمَاءٌ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Noman, from Ibn Muskan, from Suleyman Bin Khalid who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about the slave girl when she is divorced, what is her waiting period?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Two menstruations, or two months, until she menstruates’. I said, ‘Supposing her husband dies from her?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Ali<sup>asws</sup> said regarding the mothers of the children: ‘They should not get married until they observe the waiting period of four months and ten (days), and they are slaves’.
