English Translation
Abdullah ibn Utbah ibn Mas'ud reported that Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked about a man who married a woman and died before consummating and without specifying a dowry. They kept coming to him for a month or close to it. Then they said: You must give a ruling. He said: I rule that she receives the dowry of a woman of her status, no less and no more, she inherits, and she must observe the waiting period. If it is correct, it is from Allah; if wrong, it is from myself and Satan. A group from Ashja' including al-Jarrah and Abu Sinan stood up and said: We testify that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) ruled the same regarding a woman among us called Birwa' bint Washiq, whose husband was Hilal ibn Murrah al-Ashja'i. Ibn Mas'ud was greatly overjoyed when his ruling matched that of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him).
