The departure of her deceased husband from her.

ʿUbaydullāh b. ʿAbd al-Majīd > Mālik > Saʿd b. Isḥāq b. Kaʿb b. ʿUjrah > ʿAmmatih Zaynab b. Kaʿb b. ʿUjrah > al-Furayʿah b. Mālik

She asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for permission to return to her family. Her husband had gone out in search of a sustenance, so they decided to wait for him. They caught up with him when he was about to arrive and they killed him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to her, "Stay in your house until the time appointed in the Quran." I said, "He did not leave for me a house that I own nor any provision." He said, "Stay until the time appointed in the Quran." So she observed 'Iddah (waiting period) for four months and ten days. When 'Uthman sent for me, he asked about this. I informed him of the situation, so he followed the same ruling and decreed accordingly. – Sound Chain

أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَجِيدِ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ عَنْ عَمَّتِهِ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ أَنَّ الْفُرَيْعَةَ بِنْتَ مَالِكٍ أَخْبَرَتْهَا

أَنَّهَا سَأَلَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ يَأْذَنَ لَهَا أَنْ تَرْجِعَ إِلَى أَهْلِهَا؟ فَإِنَّ زَوْجَهَا قَدْ خَرَجَ فِي طَلَبِ أَعْبُدٍ لَهُ أَبَقُوا فَأَدْرَكَهُمْ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ بِطَرَفِ الْقَدُومِ قَتَلُوهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «امْكُثِي فِي بَيْتِكِ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ الْكِتَابُ أَجَلَهُ» فَقُلْتُ إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَدَعْنِي فِي بَيْتٍ أَمْلِكُهُ وَلَا نَفَقَةٍ فَقَالَ «امْكُثِي حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ الْكِتَابُ أَجَلَهُ» فَاعْتَدَّتْ فِيهِ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرًا قَالَتْ فَلَمَّا كَانَ عُثْمَانُ أَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ فَسَأَلَنِي عَنْ ذَلِكَ؟ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَاتَّبَعَ ذَلِكَ وَقَضَى بِهِ – إسناده صحيح
