The answer

A Muslim should seek the general reward that Allah has promised to all those who are patient. The narrations (hadiths) reported concerning the virtue of a widow who abstains from marrying for the sake of her children are weak and not authentically attributed to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. However, she may still hope for the reward mentioned in those hadiths. As for the divorced woman, no specific has been reported regarding her virtue.
