Bayhaqi 15538 — A woman in her waiting period who needs to use kohl

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، أنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ دَاسَةَ، نا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، نا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، نا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي مَخْرَمَةُ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الْمُغِيرَةَ بْنَ الضَّحَّاكِ يَقُولُ: أَخْبَرَتْنِي أُمُّ حَكِيمٍ بِنْتُ أَسِيدٍ، عَنْ أُمِّهَا أَنَّ زَوْجَهَا تُوُفِّيَ وَكَانَتْ تَشْتَكِي عَيْنَهَا فَتَكْتَحِلُ بِكُحْلِ الْجَلَاءِ قَالَ أَحْمَدُ: " الصَّوَابُ بِكُحْلِ الْجَلَاءِ " فَأَرْسَلَتْ مَوْلَاةً لَهَا إِلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ فَسَأَلَتْهَا عَنْ كُحْلِ الْجَلَاءِ فَقَالَتْ: " لَا تَكْتَحِلُ بِهِ إِلَّا مِنْ أَمْرٍ لَا بُدَّ مِنْهُ يَشْتَدُّ عَلَيْكِ فَتَكْتَحِلِينَ بِاللَّيْلِ وَتَمْسَحِينَهُ بِالنَّهَارِ "، ثُمَّ قَالَتْ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ ⦗٧٢٥⦘ تُوُفِّيَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ وَقَدْ جَعَلْتُ عَلَى عَيْنِي صَبْرًا فَقَالَ: " مَا هَذَا يَا أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ؟ " فَقُلْتُ: إِنَّمَا هُوَ الصَّبْرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَيْسَ فِيهِ طِيبٌ، قَالَ: " إِنَّهُ يَشُبُّ الْوَجْهَ فَلَا تَجْعَلِيهِ إِلَّا بِاللَّيْلِ وَتَنْزَعِينَهُ بِالنَّهَارِ وَلَا تَمْتَشِطِي بِالطِّيبِ وَلَا بِالْحِنَّاءِ فَإِنَّهُ خِضَابٌ " قَالَتْ: قُلْتُ: بِأِيِّ شَيْءٍ أَمْتَشِطُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ: " بِالسِّدْرِ تُغَلِّفِينَ بِهِ رَأْسَكِ ".
Al-Mughirah bin al-Dahhak (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Umm Hakim bint Asid informed me from her mother that her husband died and her eyes were ailing, so she applied kohl al-jala'. Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The correct form is kohl al-jala'. She sent a freed slave woman of hers to Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) and asked her about kohl al-jala'. She said: She should not apply it except in a matter of absolute necessity; then she may apply it at night and wipe it off during the day. Then she said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to me when Abu Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) died, and I had applied sabir (aloe) to my eyes. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Umm Salamah, what is this?" I said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), it is only sabir; there is no perfume in it. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It brightens the face, so apply it at night and remove it during the day, and do not comb your hair with perfume or with henna, for it is a dye." She said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), with what shall I comb my hair? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "With lote-tree leaves (sidr); cover your head with it."
