وَحَدَّثَنِي، عَنْ مَالِك، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دَخَلَ عَلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ وَهِيَ حَادٌّ عَلَى أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، وَقَدْ جَعَلَتْ عَلَى عَيْنَيْهَا صَبِرًا، فَقَالَ : " مَا هَذَا يَا أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ ؟ " فَقَالَتْ : إِنَّمَا هُوَ صَبِرٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، قَالَ : " اجْعَلِيهِ فِي اللَّيْلِ، وَامْسَحِيهِ بِالنَّهَارِ " .
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, went to Lady Umm Salamah, may Allah be pleased with her, and she was in mourning for her husband Abu Salamah. She had applied aloes to her eyes. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, asked: "O Umm Salamah! What is this you have applied?" She said: "O Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him! This is aloes." He, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Apply it at night and wipe it off during the day."
