أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ نَافِعٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أُمِّهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ نَعَمْ،‏‏‏‏ إِنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سُئِلَ عَنِ امْرَأَةٍ تُوُفِّيَ عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَخَافُوا عَلَى عَيْنِهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَتَكْتَحِلُ ؟ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَدْ كَانَتْ إِحْدَاكُنَّ تَمْكُثُ فِي بَيْتِهَا فِي شَرِّ أَحْلَاسِهَا حَوْلًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ خَرَجَتْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَا أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرًا .

I (the narrator) said: From her mother? He said: Yes - that the Prophet was asked about a woman whose husband had died but they were worried about her eyes - could she use kohl? He said: One of you used to stay in her house wearing her shabbiest clothes for a year, then she would come out. No, (the mourning period is) four months and ten (days).
