English translation

[3740] 66 - (938 [sic]) It was narrated from Umm 'Aṭīyah that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "No woman should mourn for more than three days for anyone who dies, except for her husband; four months and ten days, when she should not wear any dyed clothes except a garment made of ʿAṣb,[1] and she should not put on kohl or perfume except in the case of purifying herself after menses, when she may use a little Qust or Azfār."[2]

Arabic text

66 - (938) وحَدَّثَنَا حَسَنُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ حَفْصَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَا تُحِدُّ امْرَأَةٌ عَلَى مَيِّتٍ فَوْقَ ثَلَاثٍ، إِلَّا عَلَى زَوْجٍ، أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرًا، وَلَا تَلْبَسُ ثَوْبًا مَصْبُوغًا، إِلَّا ثَوْبَ عَصْبٍ، وَلَا تَكْتَحِلُ، وَلَا تَمَسُّ طِيبًا، إِلَّا إِذَا طَهُرَتْ، نُبْذَةً مِنْ قُسْطٍ أَوْ أَظْفَارٍ»،
