أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَبِيبِ بْنِ عَرَبِيٍّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ هُوَ ابْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ نَافِعٍ عَنْ زَيْنَبَ

أَنَّ امْرَأَةً سَأَلَتْ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ وَأَمَّ حَبِيبَةَ أَتَكْتَحِلُ فِي عِدَّتِهَا مِنْ وَفَاةِ زَوْجِهَا فَقَالَتْ أَتَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَى النَّبِي ﷺ فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ «قَدْ كَانَتْ إِحْدَاكُنَّ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ إِذَا تُوُفِّيَ عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا أَقَامَتْ سَنَةً ثُمَّ قَذَفَتْ وَرَاءَهَا بِبَعَرَةٍ ثُمَّ خَرَجَتْ وَإِنَّمَا هِيَ أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرٌ حَتَّى يَنْقَضِيَ الْأَجَلُ»

✧ A woman asked Umm Salamah and Umm Habibah whether she could apply kohl during her waiting period after her husband's death. Umm Salamah said: "A woman came to the Prophet ﷺ and asked him about that, and he said: 'In pre-Islamic times, when one of you lost her husband, she would stay for a year, then throw a piece of dung behind her and come out. But it is only four months and ten (days), until the term ends.'"
