951 صحيح حديث أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَتْ: كُنَّا نُنْهَى أَنْ نُحِدَّ عَلَى مَيِّتٍ فَوْقَ ثَلاَثٍ، إِلاَّ عَلَى زَوْجٍ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرًا، وَلاَ نَكْتَحِلَ وَلاَ نَتَطَيَّبَ، وَلاَ نَلْبَسَ ثَوْبًا مَصْبُوغًا إِلاَّ ثَوْبَ عَصْبٍ، وَقَدْ رُخِّصَ لَنَا عِنْدَ الطُّهْرِ، إِذَا اغْتَسَلَتْ إِحْدَانَا مِنْ مَحِيضِهَا فِي نُبْذَةٍ مِنْ كُسْتِ أَظْفَارٍ
Lady Umm 'Atiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) said that we were forbidden (by the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him) from mourning over any deceased person for more than three days, except in the case of a husband's death, for which the mourning period was four months and ten days. During these days, we would not apply kohl, nor use perfume, and we would not wear any colored garment except for 'Asb (a cloth made in Yemen which was also colored). And we were permitted (during the days of 'iddah) to use kust azfar after the ritual bath following menstruation.
