English translation

[3731] 60 - (1488) It was narrated that Ĥumaid bin Nāfi' said: “I heard Zainab, the daughter of Umm Salamah, narrating from her mother, that a woman’s husband died, and they were worried about her (diseased) eye. They came to the Prophet ﷺ and asked him for permission to use kohl, and the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'One of you used to stay in the worst part of her house, in her worst garments' - or 'in her worst garments in her house - for a year, then if a dog passed by she would throw a piece of dung and then come out. Isn't it only four months and ten days?'"

Arabic text

60 - (1488) وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ نَافِعٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتَ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، تُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أُمِّهَا، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً تُوُفِّيَ زَوْجُهَا، فَخَافُوا عَلَى عَيْنِهَا، فَأَتَوُا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَاسْتَأْذَنُوهُ فِي الْكُحْلِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «قَدْ كَانَتْ إِحْدَاكُنَّ تَكُونُ فِي شَرِّ بَيْتِهَا فِي أَحْلَاسِهَا - أَوْ فِي شَرِّ أَحْلَاسِهَا - فِي بَيْتِهَا حَوْلًا، فَإِذَا مَرَّ كَلْبٌ رَمَتْ بِبَعْرَةٍ، فَخَرَجَتْ، أَفَلَا أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرًا؟»،
