Narrator:Ibn ‘Abbās

أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا وَرْقَاءُ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ، قَالَ عَطَاءٌ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ،

نَسَخَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ عِدَّتَهَا فِي أَهْلِهَا فَتَعْتَدُّ حَيْثُ شَاءَتْ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ‏‏{‏ غَيْرَ إِخْرَاجٍ ‏}‏ ‏.‏

It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas that this Verse abrogated the woman's 'Iddah among her family, and she may observe her 'Iddah wherever she wants. That is the saying of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime:

without turning them out.

Reported by An-Nasa’i (No. 3531) and Abu Dawud (No. 2301).
