( أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدَانَ، أَنْبَأَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الصَّفَّارُ، ثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ النَّرْسِيُّ، ثَنَا أَبُو غَسَّانَ، ثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى، عَنْ أَبِي سَهْلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَصْرَةِ، عَنْ مُسَّةَ الْأَزْدِيَّةِ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ قَالَتْ:
كَانَتِ النُّفَسَاءُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ تَقْعُدُ بَعْدَ نِفَاسِهَا أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا أَوْ أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً، وَكُنَّا نَطْلِي وُجُوهَنَا بِالْوَرْسِ مِنَ الْكَلَفِ

In the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, a woman in postpartum bleeding would sit out for forty days or forty nights after her childbirth, and we used to paint our faces with wars (a yellow dye) because of the dark patches (kalaf).

علة هذا الخبر مسه المذكورة وهي تكنى أم بسة ولا يعرف حالها ولا عينها ولا تعرف في غير هذا الحديث قاله الترمذي في علله قال فخبرها هذا ضعيف الإسناد ومنكر المتن
machine translationThe defect (ʿillah) of this report is the aforementioned Mussah, who is called Umm Busah; her condition and identity are not known, and she is not known outside this ḥadīth. Al-Tirmidhī said this in his ʿIlal. He said: so her report is weak in its chain (isnād) and objectionable in its text (munkar al-matn).

أعله بكثير بن زياد وقال إنه يروي الأشياء المقلوبات فاستحق مجانبة ما انفرد به من الروايات
machine translationHe found it defective because of Kathīr b. Ziyād and said that he narrates inverted things (maqlūbāt), so he deserves to be avoided in what he alone narrates.
