حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى النَّيْسَابُورِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ النَّبِيلُ، عَنْ وَهْبٍ أَبِي خَالِدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَتْنِي أُمُّ حَبِيبَةَ بِنْتُ عِرْبَاضِ بْنِ سَارِيَةَ، أَنَّ أَبَاهَا، أَخْبَرَهَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم

نَهَى أَنْ تُوطَأَ السَّبَايَا حَتَّى يَضَعْنَ مَا فِي بُطُونِهِنَّ ‏.‏

Narrated Umm Habibah bint 'Irbad bin Sariyah:

From her father who told her that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prohibited intercourse with female prisoners, until they deliver what is in their wombs."

[Abu 'Eisa said:] There is something on this topic from Ruwaifi' bin Thabit, and the Hadith of 'Irbad is a Gharib Hadith. This is acted upon according to the people of knowledge.

Al-Awza'i said: "When a man purchases a slave girl from the captives and she is pregnant, then it has been related from 'Umar bin Al-Khattab that he said: 'Do not have intercourse with the pregnant women until she gives birth.'" Al-Awza'i said: "As for the free women, then the Sunnah about them has passed, in that the 'Iddah is observed." All of this was narrated to me by 'Ali bin Khushram who said: " 'Eisa bin Yunus narrated to us from Al-Awza'i."

قَوْلُهُ : ( حَدَّثَتْنِي أُمُّ حَبِيبَةَ بِنْتُ عِرْبَاضِ بْنِ سَارِيَةَ ) قَالَ فِي التَّقْرِيبِ مَقْبُولَةٌ مِنْ الثَّالِثَةِ ( نَهَى أَنْ تُوطَأَ السَّبَايَا حَتَّى يَضَعْنَ مَا فِي بُطُونِهِنَّ ) فِيهِ دَلِيلٌ عَلَى أَنَّهُ يَحْرُمُ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ أَنْ يَطَأَ الْأَمَةَ الْمَسْبِيَّةَ إِذَا كَانَتْ حَامِلًا حَتَّى تَضَعَ حَمْلَهَا : وَرَوَى أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَأَحْمَدُ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ فِي سَبْيِ أَوْطَاسٍ : لَا تُوطَأْ حَامِلٌ حَتَّى تَضَعَ وَلَا غَيْرُ حَامِلٍ حَتَّى تَحِيضَ حَيْضَةً , وَفِيهِ دَلِيلٌ عَلَى أَنَّهُ يَحْرُمُ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ أَنْ يَطَأَ الْأَمَةَ الْمَسْبِيَّةَ إِذَا كَانَتْ حَامِلًا حَتَّى تُسْتَبْرَأَ بِحَيْضَةٍ.…
