English translation

2302. Umm 'Atiyyah narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "A woman should not mourn for anyone for more than three (days), except for her husband. For him, she must mourn four months and ten days. And she should not wear dyed cloth except for 'Asb cloth.[1] And she should not apply kohl, nor any perfume except when she is about to become pure from her menses, (for she may use) a small amount of Qust or Azfār."[2] — Instead of 'Asb, Ya'qūb (one of the narrators) said: "washed" and Ya'qūb added: "and she should not use dye." (Sahih)

2302 - حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدَّوْرَقِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ طَهْمَانَ، حَدَّثَنِي هِشَامُ بْنُ حَسَّانَ، ح وحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ الْقُهِسْتَانِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ بَكْرٍ السَّهْمِيَّ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ - وَهَذَا لَفْظُ ابْنِ الْجَرَّاحِ - عَنْ حَفْصَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَا تُحِدُّ الْمَرْأَةُ فَوْقَ ثَلَاثٍ إِلَّا عَلَى زَوْجٍ، فَإِنَّهَا تُحِدُّ عَلَيْهِ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرًا، وَلَا تَلْبَسُ ثَوْبًا مَصْبُوغًا، إِلَّا ثَوْبَ عَصْبٍ، وَلَا تَكْتَحِلُ، وَلَا تَمَسُّ طِيبًا إِلَّا أَدْنَى طُهْرَتِهَا إِذَا طَهُرَتْ مِنْ مَحِيضِهَا بِنُبْذَةٍ مِنْ قُسْطٍ، أَوْ أَظْفَارٍ» - قَالَ يَعْقُوبُ: - «مَكَانَ عَصْبٍ إِلَّا مَغْسُولًا» - وَزَادَ يَعْقُوبُ: - «وَلَا تَخْتَضِبُ»،
