أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، وَأَبُو زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالُوا: ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، أنبأ الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، أنبأ الشَّافِعِيُّ، أنا مَالِكٌ، ح وَأنبأ أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الْمِهْرَجَانِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْمُزَكِّي، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ثنا ابْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، ثنا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَزْمٍ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ بْنِ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ أَنَّهَا أَخْبَرَتْهُ هَذِهِ الْأَحَادِيثَ الثَّلَاثَةَ قَالَ: قَالَتْ زَيْنَبُ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أُمِّ حَبِيبَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ تُوُفِّيَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ فَدَعَتْ أُمُّ حَبِيبَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا بِطِيبٍ فِيهِ صُفْرَةُ خَلُوقٍ أَوْ غَيْرُهُ فَدَهَنَتْ مِنْهُ جَارِيَةً ثُمَّ مَسَّتْ بِعَارِضَيْهَا ثُمَّ قَالَتْ: وَاللهِ مَالِي بِالطِّيبِ مِنْ حَاجَةٍ غَيْرَ أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ قَالَ ابْنُ بُكَيْرٍ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ ثُمَّ اتَّفَقَا: " لَا يَحِلُّ لِامْرَأَةٍ تُؤْمِنُ بِاللهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ أَنْ تُحِدَّ عَلَى مَيِّتٍ فَوْقَ ثَلَاثِ لَيَالٍ إِلَّا عَلَى زَوْجٍ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرًا ".
It is narrated from Zaynab bint Abi Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she related these three hadiths. Zaynab (may Allah be pleased with her) said: I went to Umm Habibah (may Allah be pleased with her), the wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when (her father) Abu Sufyan (may Allah be pleased with him) died. Umm Habibah (may Allah be pleased with her) called for some perfume containing yellow colouring (khaluq) or something else, and she applied some of it to a slave girl, then rubbed it on her own cheeks. Then she said: By Allah, I have no need of perfume, except that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying on the pulpit: "It is not lawful for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to mourn for a deceased person for more than three days, except for her husband; for her husband she mourns four months and ten days."
Zaynab (may Allah be pleased with her) said: I went to Zaynab bint Jahsh (may Allah be pleased with her) when her brother Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) died. She called for perfume and applied some of it, then she said: I have no need of perfume, except that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying on the pulpit: "It is not permissible for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to mourn for a deceased person for more than three nights, except for her husband; she mourns for him four months and ten days."
Zaynab (may Allah be pleased with her) said: And I heard my mother Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) say that a woman came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: My daughter's husband has died and her eyes are ailing; may she apply kohl? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No (she may not)." He said it two or three times; each time she asked, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No (she may not)." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is only four months and ten days, whereas in the time of Ignorance one of you would throw a piece of dung at the end of a year."
Humayd (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I said to Zaynab (may Allah be pleased with her): What was this (throwing of) dung at the end of the year? Zaynab (may Allah be pleased with her) said: When a woman's husband died, she would enter a small tent and wear her worst clothes, and she would not apply perfume until a year had passed over her. Then a donkey, a goat or a bird would be brought to her.
