Musnad Abi Ya'la 7156 — she went to the Mother of the Believers
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَنْصُورُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ الْخُزَاعِيُّ ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ نَافِعٍ ، عَنْ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ أَنَّهَا أَخْبَرَتْهُ ، قَالَتْ : دَخَلْتُ عَلَى زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ حِينَ تُوُفِّيَ أَخُوهَا ، فَدَعَتْ بِطِيبٍ فَمَسَّتْ مِنْهُ ، ثُمَّ قَالَتْ : وَاللهِ مَا لِي بِالطِّيبِ مِنْ حَاجَةٍ ، غَيْرَ أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَقُولُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ : لَا يَحِلُّ لِامْرَأَةٍ تُؤْمِنُ بِاللهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ تُحِدُّ عَلَى مَيِّتٍ فَوْقَ ثَلَاثِ لَيَالٍ إِلَّا عَلَى زَوْجٍ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرًا .
It is narrated from Sayyidah Zaynab bint Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she went to the Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Zaynab bint Jahsh (may Allah be pleased with her), when her brother had died. She called for perfume and applied some of it, then said: "By Allah! I had no need whatsoever to use perfume, except that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying on the pulpit: 'It is not permissible for any woman who believes in Allah Almighty and the Last Day to mourn for a deceased person for more than three nights, except for her husband, (for whose death mourning is required for) four months and ten days.'"
