3564. It was narrated that Umm 'Aṭīyah said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'No woman should mourn for anyone who dies for more than three days, except for a husband, for whom she should mourn for four months and ten days. She should not wear garments that are dyed or patterned, or put on kohl or comb her hair, and she should not put on any perfume except when purifying herself after her period, when she may use a little of Qust or Azfar.[1] (Sahih)
3534 - أَخْبَرَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ حَفْصَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ، قَالَتْ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا تَحِدُّ امْرَأَةٌ عَلَى مَيِّتٍ فَوْقَ ثَلَاثٍ إِلَّا عَلَى زَوْجٍ، فَإِنَّهَا تَحِدُّ عَلَيْهِ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرًا وَلَا تَلْبَسُ ثَوْبًا مَصْبُوغًا، وَلَا ثَوْبَ عَصْبٍ، وَلَا تَكْتَحِلُ، وَلَا تَمْتَشِطُ، وَلَا تَمَسُّ طِيبًا إِلَّا عِنْدَ طُهْرِهَا، حِينَ تَطْهُرُ نُبَذًا مِنْ قُسْطٍ وَأَظْفَارٍ»

1. 'A dyed garment' means the garment which has been dyed after it has been woven. Generally, such color happens to be bright. 2. 'Patterned': The original Arabic term used is Thaub asab, which means the garment which has been dyed before it has been woven. 3. 'Can use a little perfume': Such a perfume is not meant for adornment; it is meant for hiding or preventing the unpleasant smell of menses. Moreover, such a perfume would be applied under the belly after menstruation, and not on the rest of the body.
