Musnad Abi Ya'la 6961 — from her mother Sayyidah Umm Salamah
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ نَافِعٍ ، عَنْ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ أُمِّهَا أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ ، وَأُمِّ حَبِيبَةَ ، زَوْجَتَيِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَتَا : جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَتْ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، إِنَّ ابْنَتِي تُوُفِّيَ زَوْجُهَا ، وَأَنَا أَتَخَوَّفُ عَلَى عَيْنِهَا أَفَأَكْحُلُهَا ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : قَدْ كَانَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ مِنْكُنَّ تَرْمِي بِالْبَعْرَةِ عَلَى رَأْسِ الْحَوْلِ ، وَإِنَّمَا هِيَ أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرٌ .
Sayyidah Zaynab bint Abi Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates from her mother Sayyidah Umm Salamah and from Sayyidah Umm Habibah (may Allah be pleased with them both), (the pure wives of the Prophet), that they both said: "A woman came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: 'O Messenger of Allah! My daughter's husband has died and I fear for her eyes; may I apply kohl to them?' The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: '(In the Days of Ignorance) a woman among you would throw a piece of dung at the end of a year (that is, she would observe the harshest mourning for a whole year), whereas (now in Islam) this period is only four months and ten days.'"
