Musnad Abi Ya'la 7023 — In the blessed time of the Messenger of Allah
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُجَاعُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى ، عَنْ أَبِي سَهْلٍ ، عَنْ مُسَّةَ الْأَزْدِيَّةِ ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ قَالَتْ : كَانَتِ النُّفَسَاءُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - تَجْلِسُ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا ، وَكُنَّا نَطْلِي وُجُوهَنَا بِالْوَرْسِ مِنَ الْكَلَفِ .
It is narrated from Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her): "In the blessed time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), women in postnatal bleeding (nifas) used to wait forty days (to become pure), and we used to apply a paste of wars (a yellow plant) to our faces to treat the dark patches that appear on the face after childbirth."
