حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي حُمَيْدُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّهَا، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً تُوُفِّيَ زَوْجُهَا فَاشْتَكَتْ عَيْنَهَا فَذَكَرُوهَا لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَذَكَرُوا الْكُحْلَ، قَالُوا: نَخَافُ (٢) عَلَى عَيْنِهَا؟ قَالَ: " قَدْ كَانَتْ إِحْدَاكُنَّ تَمْكُثُ فِي بَيْتِهَا فِي شَرِّ أَحْلَاسِهَا، أَوْ فِي أَحْلَاسِهَا فِي شَرِّ (٣) بَيْتِهَا حَوْلًا، فَإِذَا مَرَّ بِهَا كَلْبٌ رَمَتْ بِبَعْرَةٍ.، ، أَفَلَا أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرًا؟ " (١)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) that a woman whose husband had passed away developed a complaint in her eyes. She mentioned this to the Prophet (ﷺ) and sought permission to apply kohl to her eyes, saying, "We fear for her eyes." The Prophet (ﷺ) said: (In the time of ignorance) one of you women would stay in her house for a whole year wearing the worst of clothes, then a dog would pass by her, and she would throw dung and come out. So can she not now spend four months and ten days?
