أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ السَّرْحِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي مَخْرَمَةُ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ الْمُغِيرَةَ بْنَ الضَّحَّاكِ ، يَقُولُ : حَدَّثَتْنِي أُمُّ حَكِيمٍ بِنْتُ أَسِيدٍ ، عَنْ أُمِّهَا ، أَنَّ زَوْجَهَا تُوُفِّيَ وَكَانَتْ تَشْتَكِي عَيْنَهَا ، فَتَكْتَحِلُ الْجَلَاءَ ، فَأَرْسَلَتْ مَوْلَاةً لَهَا إِلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ فَسَأَلَتْهَا عَنْ كُحْلِ الْجَلَاءِ ، فَقَالَتْ : لَا تَكْتَحِلُ إِلَّا مِنْ أَمْرٍ لَا بُدَّ مِنْهُ ، دَخَلَ عَلَيّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ تُوُفِّيَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ ، وَقَدْ جَعَلْتُ عَلَى عَيْنِي صَبْرًا ، فَقَالَ : " مَا هَذَا يَا أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ ؟ " قُلْتُ : إِنَّمَا هُوَ صَبْرٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، لَيْسَ فِيهِ طِيبٌ ، قَالَ : " إِنَّهُ يَشُبُّ الْوَجْهَ ، فَلَا تَجْعَلِيهِ إِلَّا بِاللَّيْلِ ، وَلَا تَمْتَشِطِي بِالطِّيبِ وَلَا بِالْحِنَّاءِ ، فَإِنَّهُ خِضَابٌ " ، قُلْتُ : بِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ أَمْتَشِطُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ؟ قَالَ : " بِالسِّدْرِ تُغَلِّفِينَ بِهِ رَأْسَكِ " .
´Umm Hakim bint Asid narrated from her mother that her husband died and she had a problem in her eye, so she applied kohl to clear her eyes. She sent a freed slave woman of hers to Umm Salamah to ask her about using kohl to clear her eyes. She said:` "Do not use kohl unless it cannot be avoided. The Messenger of Allah entered upon me when Abu Salamah died and I had put some aloe juice on my eyes. He said: 'What is this, O Umm Salamah?' I said: 'It is aloe juice, O Messenger of Allah, there is no perfume in it.' He said: 'It makes the face look bright, so only use it at night, and do not comb your hair with perfume or henna, for it is a dye.' I said: 'With what can I comb it, O Messenger of Allah?' He said: 'With lote leaves -cover your head with them.'"

Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
This narration is weak in its chain of transmission; however, it is correct that anything which imparts color—such as kohl (surma) or henna (mehndi)—or anything that beautifies and enhances the radiance of the face—such as aloe—or anything that gives fragrance—such as scented soap, perfume, etc.—is prohibited for a woman during mourning. However, bathing (ghusl), simple combing, and the use of unscented soap are permissible. Lotus leaves (beri ke patte) neither impart color nor fragrance; therefore, they may be used.
