حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، وَحَجَّاجٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ نَافِعٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ زَيْنَبَ ابْنَةَ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ (٣) ، تُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أُمِّهَا، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً تُوُفِّيَ زَوْجُهَا، فَخَافُوا عَلَى عَيْنِهَا، فَأَتَوْا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَاسْتَأْذَنُوهُ، فِي الْكُحْلِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " قَدْ (٤) كَانَتْ إِحْدَاكُنَّ تَكُونُ فِي بَيْتِهَا فِي أَحْلَاسِهَا، أَوْ فِي شَرِّ أَحْلَاسِهَا فِي بَيْتِهَا، حَوْلًا، فَإِذَا مَرَّ كَلْبٌ رَمَتْ بِبَعْرَةٍ، فَخَرَجَتْ، فَلَا أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرًا " (٥)،
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 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?
