Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، فِي قَوْلِهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ‏‏{‏ وَالَّذِينَ يُتَوَفَّوْنَ مِنْكُمْ وَيَذَرُونَ أَزْوَاجًا وَصِيَّةً لأَزْوَاجِهِمْ مَتَاعًا إِلَى الْحَوْلِ غَيْرَ إِخْرَاجٍ ‏}‏ قَالَ نَسَخَتْهَا ‏‏{‏ وَالَّذِينَ يُتَوَفَّوْنَ مِنْكُمْ وَيَذَرُونَ أَزْوَاجًا يَتَرَبَّصْنَ بِأَنْفُسِهِنَّ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرًا ‏}‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Qutaibah narrated to us: Abu Al-Ahwas narrated to us, from Simak, from 'Ikrimah, regarding the saying of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime: 'Those of you who die and leave wives behind should bequeath for their wives provision for a year, without turning them out.' He said: 'This was abrogated by: Those of you who die and leave wives behind, their wives shall wait for four months and ten days.'
