The count of days given in the narrative is  very close to this description. It is highly likely that the  information given in the hadith is based on divine guidance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Dr. Shehzad Saleem<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-01-09<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6079\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was reading your Q&#038;A about<a href=\"http:\/\/www.javedghamidi.net\/index.php\/questions\/view\/permissiblity-of-abortion\"> Abortion<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.al-mawrid.org\/pages\/questions_english_detail.php?qid=990&#038;cid=303&#038;search=abortion\"><\/a>  on your website.
