[3726] (1487) Zainab said: "Then I entered upon Zainab bint Jahsh when her brother died. She called for some perfume and put on some of it, then she 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 woman 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

(1487) قَالَتْ زَيْنَبُ: ثُمَّ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ حِينَ تُوُفِّيَ أَخُوهَا، فَدَعَتْ بِطِيبٍ، فَمَسَّتْ مِنْهُ، 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»
