I was a man who was more given than others to sexual intercourse with women. When the month of Ramadan came, I feared lest I should have intercourse with my wife, and this evil should remain with me till the morning. So I made my wife like my mother's back to me till the end of Ramadan. But one night when she was waiting upon me, something of her was revealed. Suddenly I jumped upon her. When the morning came I went to my people and informed them about this matter. I said: Go along with me to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. They said: No, by Allah. So I went to the Prophet (peace be upon him and informed him of the matter. He said: Have you really committed it, Salamah? I said: I committed it twice, Messenger of Allah. I am content with the Commandment of Allah, the Exalted; so take a decision about me according to what Allah has shown you. He said: Free a slave. I said: By Him Who sent you with truth, I do not possess a neck other than this: and I struck the surface of my neck. He said: Then fast two consecutive months. I said: Whatever I suffered is due to fasting. He said: Feed sixty poor people with a wasq of dates. I said: By Him Who sent you with truth, we passed the night hungry; there was no food in our house. He said: Then go to the collector of sadaqah of Banu Zurayq; he must give it to you. Then feed sixty poor people with a wasq of dates; and you and your family eat the remaining dates. Then I came back to my people, and said (to them): I found with you poverty and bad opinion; and I found with the Prophet ﷺ prosperity and good opinion. He has commanded me to give alms to you. Ibn al-Ala' added: Ibn Idris said: Bayadah is a sub-clan of Banu Zurayq.

He informed him that he and Ibn Abbas met with Abu Hurairah and they mentioned a man whose wife dies and he remarries after a few nights. Ibn Abbas said that her waiting period is the end of the two terms (the waiting period for pregnancy and for being widowed). Abu Salama said that when she gives birth, her waiting period ends. They disagreed about it, so Abu Hurairah said, "I am with my nephew's son, meaning Abu Salama." So they sent Kureib, the slave of Ibn Abbas, to Umm Salamah and he asked her. Umm Salamah mentioned that Subay'ah bint al-Harith al-Aslamiyah died and her husband passed away and after him she got her period after a few nights, and a man from Bani Abd Ad-Dar proposed to her and informed her that she had her period. She wanted to marry someone else, so Abu As-Sanabil said to her, "Indeed, you have not completed your waiting period." Subay'ah mentioned this to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he ordered her to get married. – Sound Chain
