311. It was reported from Mussah, from Umm Salamah, that she said: “Women who were in their post-partum bleeding, during the time of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, would wait after the (beginning) of their bleeding for forty days, or forty nights. And we would use Wars[2] to anoint our faces — meaning for freckles.” (Hasan)
311 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، أَخْبَرَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى، عَنْ أَبِي سَهْلٍ، عَنْ مُسَّةَ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ قَالَتْ: «كَانَتِ النُّفَسَاءُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَقْعُدُ بَعْدَ نِفَاسِهَا أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا - أَوْ أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً - وَكُنَّا نَطْلِي عَلَى وُجُوهِنَا الْوَرْسَ - تَعْنِي - مِنَ الكَلَفِ»
