About 'Uqbah: one of the well-known companions of Ibn Mas'ud, and Ibn Mas'ud is well known (may Allah be pleased with him)

The Shaykh : About 'Uqbah: one of the well-known companions of Ibn Mas'ud, and Ibn Mas'ud is well known (may Allah be pleased with him), one of those who served the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and was the keeper of the pillow and the toothpick, and he would enter the house of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) until he was as if he were one of his family.
He was also one of the jurists and muftis of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with him).
He was asked about a man who married a woman, did not stipulate a bridal gift for her, and did not consummate the marriage until he died. Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: to the end. He was asked about a man: and the questioner, as we have said repeatedly, we do not need to identify him, because the objective is to know the issue and its ruling.
And his saying: means: he did not determine a bridal gift for her, because the stipulation means the determination, as Allah the Exalted said: meaning from the mahr, i.e., what you have determined, and he did not consummate the marriage until he died, but the marriage is valid.
So Ibn Mas'ud said: as a substitute for the non-specification of the mahr, because if the bridal gift had been named and stipulated, she would not have been entitled to more than what was stipulated for her, but since it was not stipulated, she is entitled to the mahr of her women.
And his saying: Who is meant by the women?
The women meant are those similar to her in age, beauty, religion, character, lineage, and wealth. How many are these? Six things. Let us repeat them, what are they?
The student: Age.

The Shaykh : And the second?
The student: And beauty.

The Shaykh : And religion, character, beauty, lineage, and wealth. These are necessary, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: .
So we say: This is the mahr of her women, meaning the women who are similar to her in these six matters.
: The reduction is the decrease and the excess is the increase. The meaning is that nothing is deducted from it and nothing is added to it.
The waiting period: The al- here is for the mental covenant, so the intended meaning is the waiting period of death, because the separation here is by what?
By death, i.e., she must observe the waiting period of death. What is it?
Four months and ten days in this issue, because the woman was not consummated and is not pregnant. However, if she were pregnant, her waiting period would be the delivery of the child, even if she gave birth before the washing of her husband was completed, her waiting period would end. But this issue we are discussing is not a pregnant woman.
: She is entitled to inheritance. By what did Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) argue, or by what did he derive this fiqh from the Book and the Sunnah?
We say: As for his saying: : He derived it from the saying of Allah the Exalted: : that you seek with your wealth. Here, the seeking with wealth is necessary. The wealth is not specified, so it reverts to the value of the equivalent. And the value of the equivalent for the woman is the mahr of her women.
And as for his saying: it is due to the generality of the saying of Allah the Exalted: .
And as for his saying: it is due to the generality of the saying of Allah the Exalted: and she is a wife, so she falls within this generality.
to the end:
Meaning, when he heard this statement, he stood up to support this opinion, supporting it with a Sunnah from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
And his saying: Bara' is the name of a woman, and for this reason it is not declined. What prevents it from being declined?
The proper noun status and the femininity. Is it conceptual or linguistic?
The student: Conceptual.

The Shaykh : Conceptual.
Good: : This is an explanatory apposition and not an attribute, because "woman" is indefinite, and an indefinite cannot be an attribute of a definite noun.
Yes, : And he said "a woman from among us" to clarify that he is emphasizing this issue, because if the woman was from among them, they would be the most knowledgeable people about her.
: Like what you ruled, i.e., like what you judged. So the ruling here means the judgment, and its counterpart is the saying of Allah the Exalted: i.e., He ruled with a legislative ruling that you do not worship except Him.
"Ibn Mas'ud was pleased with it": He was pleased with it because it testified to the truth of his statement and that it was in accordance with correctness.
"It was narrated by Ahmad and the four, and al-Tirmidhi graded it authentic, and a group of scholars graded it good": And the hadith was graded authentic by others besides al-Tirmidhi as well, because the principles of the Shari'ah, indeed the texts of the Shari'ah, testify to it.
