Hadith of Umm Habibah bint Abi Sufyan, Mother of the Believers
Musnad Abi Ya'la 7123 — A woman came to the Prophet ﷺ and submitted: O
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ نَافِعٍ ، عَنْ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ أُمِّهَا أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ ، وَأَمِّ حَبِيبَةَ زَوْجَيِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَتَا : جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَتْ : يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ ، إِنَّ ابْنَتِي تُوُفِّيَ زَوْجُهَا ، وَإِنَّهَا تَعْتَدُّ ، وَإِنِّي أَخَافُ عَلَى عَيْنِهَا ، أَفَأَكْحُلُهَا ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : « قَدْ كَانَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ مِنْكُنَّ تَرْمِي بِالْبَعْرَةِ عَلَى رَأْسِ الْحَوْلِ ، وَإِنَّمَا هِيَ أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرٌ » .
It is narrated from Sayyidah Umm Salamah and Sayyidah Umm Habibah (may Allah be pleased with them both): "A woman came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and submitted: O Prophet of Allah! My daughter's husband has died and she is now in her waiting period ('iddah), and I fear for her eye (that it will be harmed). May I apply kohl to her? At that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: (In the Days of Ignorance) a woman among you would (spend a year in utter misery and) at the end of the year throw a piece of dung, whereas now (in Islam) this period is only four months and ten days."
