English translation

[3725] 58 - (1486) It was narrated from Ĥumaid bin Nāfi', from Zainab bint Abī Salamah, that she told him these three Aḥādīth. He said: "Zainab said: 'I entered upon Umm Ḥabībah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, when her father Abū Sufyān died. Umm Ḥabībah called for some perfume that had a yellowish color, Khalūq or something else, and she put some of it on a girl, then she wiped her cheeks with it and said: "By Allāh, I have no need of perfume, but I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ saying on the Minbar: 'It is not permissible for a women who believes in Allāh and the Last Day to mourn for more than three days for anyone who dies, except for a husband; four months and ten days.'"

Arabic text

58 - (1486) وحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالَ: قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ 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 أَبُوهَا أَبُو سُفْيَانَ، فَدَعَتْ أُمُّ حَبِيبَةَ بِطِيبٍ فِيهِ صُفْرَةٌ خَلُوقٌ - أَوْ غَيْرُهُ - فَدَهَنَتْ مِنْهُ جَارِيَةً، ثُمَّ مَسَّتْ بِعَارِضَيْهَا، ثُمَّ قَالَتْ: وَاللهِ مَا لِي بِالطِّيبِ مِنْ حَاجَةٍ، غَيْرَ أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ: «لَا يَحِلُّ لِامْرَأَةٍ تُؤْمِنُ بِاللهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ تُحِدُّ عَلَى مَيِّتٍ فَوْقَ ثَلَاثٍ، إِلَّا عَلَى زَوْجٍ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرًا»
