Humaid ibn Nafi reported the following three traditions on the authority of Zaynab, daughter of Abu Salamah: Zainab said: I visited Umm Habibah when her father Abu Sufyan, died. She asked for some yellow perfume containing saffron (khaluq) or something else. Then she applied it to a girl and touched her cheeks. She said: I have no need of perfume, but I heard the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم say: It is not lawful for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to observe mourning for one who has died, more than three nights, except for four months and ten days in the case of a husband. Zaynab said: I also visited Zaynab, daughter of Jahsh, when her brother died. She asked for some perfume and used it upon herself. She then said: I have no need of perfume, but I heard the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم say when he was on the pulpit: It is not lawful for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to observe mourning for one who has died, more than three nights, except for four months and ten days in the case of a husband. Zaynab said: I heard my mother, Umm Salamah, say: A woman came to the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم and said: Messenger of Allah, the husband of my daughter has died, and she is suffering from sore eyes; may we put antimony in her eyes? The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: No. He said this twice or thrice. Each time he said: No. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: The waiting period is now four months and ten days. In pre-Islamic days one of you used to throw away a piece of dung at the end of a year. Humayd said: I asked Zaynab: What do you mean by throwing away a piece of dung at the end of a year. Zaynab replied: When the husband of a woman died, she entered a small cell and put on shabby clothes, not touching perfume or any other thing until a year passed. Then an animal such as donkey or sheep or bird was provided for her. She rubbed herself with it. The animal with which she rubbed herself rarely survived. She then came out and was given a piece of dung which she threw away. She then used perfume or something else which she desired. Abu Dawud said: The Arabic word hafsh means a small cell.

حمید بن نافع کہتے ہیں کہ   زینب بنت ابی سلمہ رضی اللہ عنہما نے انہیں ان تینوں حدیثوں کی خبر دی کہ جب ام المؤمنین ام حبیبہ رضی اللہ عنہا کے والد ابوسفیان رضی اللہ عنہ کا انتقال ہوا تو میں ان کے پاس گئی، انہوں نے زرد رنگ کی خوشبو منگا کر ایک لڑکی کو لگائی پھر اپنے دونوں رخساروں پر بھی مل لی اس کے بعد کہنے لگیں: اللہ کی قسم! مجھے خوشبو لگانے کی قطعاً حاجت نہ تھی، میں نے تو ایسا صرف اس بنا پر کیا کہ میں نے رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کو فرماتے ہوئے سنا تھا: کسی عورت کے لیے جو اللہ تعالیٰ اور آخرت کے دن پر ایمان رکھتی ہو یہ حلال نہیں کہ وہ کسی میت پر تین دن سے زیادہ سوگ منائے، ہاں خاوند پر چار مہینے دس دن تک سوگ منانا ہے ۔ زینب رضی اللہ عنہا کہتی ہیں: میں ام المؤمنین زینب بنت جحش رضی اللہ عنہا کے پاس گئی جس وقت کہ ان کے بھائی کا انتقال ہو گیا تھا، انہوں نے ( بھی ) خوشبو منگا کر لگائی اس کے بعد کہنے لگیں: اللہ کی قسم! مجھے خوشبو لگانے کی کوئی ضرورت نہیں تھی، میں نے ایسا صرف اس بنا پر کیا ہے کہ میں نے رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کو منبر پر فرماتے سنا: کسی بھی عورت کے لیے جو اللہ اور آخرت کے دن پر ایمان رکھتی ہو یہ حلال نہیں کہ وہ کسی میت پر تین دن سے زیادہ سوگ منائے ہاں شوہر کی وفات پر سوگ چار مہینے دس دن ہے ۔ زینب رضی اللہ عنہا کہتی ہیں: میں نے اپنی والدہ ام سلمہ رضی اللہ عنہا کو کہتے ہوئے سنا: ایک عورت نے رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی خدمت میں حاضر ہو کر عرض کیا: اللہ کے رسول! میری بیٹی کے شوہر کی وفات ہو گئی ہے اور اس کی آنکھیں دکھ رہی ہیں، کیا ہم اسے سرمہ لگا دیں؟ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: نہیں ، اس نے دو بار یا تین بار پوچھا، آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے ہر بار فرمایا: نہیں ، پھر فرمایا: تم چار مہینے دس دن صبر نہیں کر سکتی، حالانکہ زمانہ جاہلیت میں جب تم میں سے کسی عورت کا شوہر مر جاتا تھا تو ایک سال پورے ہونے پر اسے مینگنی پھینکنی پڑتی تھی ۔ حمید راوی کہتے ہیں میں نے زینب رضی اللہ عنہا سے پوچھا: مینگنی پھینکنے سے کیا مراد ہے؟ تو انہوں نے بتایا کہ جاہلیت کے زمانہ میں جب کسی عورت کا شوہر مر جاتا تو وہ ایک معمولی سی جھونپڑی میں رہائش اختیار کرتی، پھٹے پرانے اور میلے کچیلے کپڑے پہنتی، نہ خوشبو استعمال کر سکتی اور نہ ہی کوئی زینت و آرائش کر سکتی تھی، جب سال پورا ہو جاتا تو اسے گدھا یا کوئی پرندہ یا بکری دی جاتی جسے وہ اپنے بدن سے رگڑتی، وہ جانور کم ہی زندہ رہ پاتا، پھر اس کو مینگنی دی جاتی جسے وہ سر پر گھما کر اپنے پیچھے پھینک دیتی، اس کے بعد وہ عدت سے باہر آتی اور زیب و زینت کرتی اور خوشبو استعمال کرتی۔ ابوداؤد کہتے ہیں:«حفش» چھوٹے گھر ( تنگ کوٹھری ) کو کہتے ہیں۔

Ibn Abbas said “The following verse abrogated the rule of passing her waiting period with her people. A year’s maintenance and residence. She may pass her waiting period now anywhere she wishes. Ata said “If she wishes she can pass her waiting period with the people of her husband and live in the house left by her husband by will. Or she may shift if she wishes according to the pronouncement of Allah the Exalted. But if they leave (the residence) there is no blame on you for what they do. Ata’ said “Then the verses regarding inheritance were revealed. The commandment for living in a house (for one year) was repealed. She may pass her waiting period wherever she wishes.

The tradition mentioned above has also been narrated by Al‘Umm Athiyah from the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم through a different chain of narrators. The tradition narrated by Yazid bin Harun from Hisham does perfectly correspond to the tradition transmitted by Ibrahim bin Tahman and Abdullah Al Shami from Hisham. The narrator Al Misma’I reported Yazid as saying “I do not know but that he said “she should not dye herself. ” To this the narrator Harun added “She should not wear colored clothes except one of the types made of dyed yarn. ”

Umm Hakim, daughter of Usayd, reported on the authority of her mother that her husband died and she was suffering from sore eyes. She therefore applied collyrium (jAla). Ahmad said: The correct version is glittering collyrium (kuhl al-jAla). She sent her slave-girl to Umm Salamah, and she asked her about the use of glittering collyrium (kuhl al-jAla). She said: Do not apply it except in the case of dire need which is troubling you. In that case you can use it at night, but you should remove it in the daytime. Then Umm Salamah said: The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم came to visit me when Abu Salamah died, and I had put the juice of aloes in my eye. He asked: What is this, Umm Salamah? I replied: It is only the juice of aloes and contains no perfume. He said: It gives the face a glow, so apply it only at night and remove it in daytime, and do not comb yourself with scent or henna, for it is a dye. I asked: What should I use when I comb myself, Messenger of Allah? He said: Use lote-tree leaves and smear your head copiously with them.

Ubaid Allah bin Abdullah bin ‘Utbah said that his father wrote (a letter) to Abd Allaah bin Al Arqam Al Zuhri asking him to visit Subai’ah daughter of Al Harith Al Aslamiyyah and ask her about her story and what the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said to her when she asked his opinion (about her). So, Umar bin Abdullah wrote in reply to Abdullah bin ‘Utbah informing him what she told him. She told that she was under (i. e., the wife of) Saad bin Khawlah who belonged to Banu Amir bin Luwayy. He was one of those who participated in the battle of Badr. He died at the Farwell Pilgrimage while she was pregnant. Soon after his death she gave birth to a child. When she was purified from her bleeding after child birth she adorned herself for seekers in marriage. Then Abu Al Sanabil bin Ba’kah a man from Banu Abd Al Dar entered upon her and said to her “What is the matter seeing you adorned, perhaps you are seeking marriage? I swear by Allah you cannot marry until four months and ten days pass away. Saubai’ah said “When she said this to me, I gathered my clothes on me when the evening came and I came to the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم and asked him about that. He told me that I became lawful when I had delivered a child. He suggested me to marry if I wished. Ibn Shihab said “I do not see any harm if she marries when she gives birth to the child, even though she had the bleeding after the child birth, but her husband should not have sexual intercourse till she is purified.
