Muwatta Malik #1270
Divorce
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi and Zayd ibn Aslam from
Sulayman ibn Yasar that al-Ahwas died in Syria when his wife had begun
her third menstrual period after he had divorced her. Muawiya ibn Abi
Sufyan wrote and asked Zayd ibn Thabit about that. Zayd wrote to him,
"When she began her third period, she was free from him and he was
free from her, and he does not inherit from her nor she from him."
