أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالْحَارِثُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ قِرَاءَةً عَلَيْهِ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ الْقَاسِمِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مَالِكٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ نَافِعٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ أَنَّهَا أَخْبَرَتْهُ بِهَذِهِ الْأَحَادِيثِ الثَّلَاثَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَتْ زَيْنَبُ:‏‏‏‏ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أُمِّ حَبِيبَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ تُوُفِّيَ أَبُوهَا أَبُو سُفْيَانَ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَدَعَتْ أُمُّ حَبِيبَةَ بِطِيبٍ فَدَهَنَتْ مِنْهُ جَارِيَةً، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ مَسَّتْ بِعَارِضَيْهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ قَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ وَاللَّهِ مَا لِي بِالطِّيبِ مِنْ حَاجَةٍ غَيْرَ أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا يَحِلُّ لِامْرَأَةٍ تُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ تَحِدُّ عَلَى مَيِّتٍ فَوْقَ ثَلَاثِ لَيَالٍ إِلَّا عَلَى زَوْجٍ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرًا . (حديث موقوف) (حديث مرفوع) قَالَتْ زَيْنَبُ:‏‏‏‏ ثُمَّ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ حِينَ تُوُفِّيَ أَخُوهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَقَدْ دَعَتْ بِطِيبٍ وَمَسَّتْ مِنْهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمّ قَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ وَاللَّهِ مَا لِي بِالطِّيبِ مِنْ حَاجَةٍ غَيْرَ أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ:‏‏‏‏ لَا يَحِلُّ لِامْرَأَةٍ تُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ تَحِدُّ عَلَى مَيِّتٍ فَوْقَ ثَلَاثِ لَيَالٍ إِلَّا عَلَى زَوْجٍ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرًا . وَقَالَتْ زَيْنَبُ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏تَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِنَّ ابْنَتِي تُوُفِّيَ عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَقَدِ اشْتَكَتْ عَيْنَهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَفَأَكْحُلُهَا ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّمَا هِيَ أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَقَدْ كَانَتْ إِحْدَاكُنَّ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ تَرْمِي بِالْبَعْرَةِ عِنْدَ رَأْسِ الْحَوْلِ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ حُمَيْدٌ:‏‏‏‏ فَقُلْتُ لِزَيْنَبَ:‏‏‏‏ وَمَا تَرْمِي بِالْبَعْرَةِ عِنْدَ رَأْسِ الْحَوْلِ ؟ قَالَتْ زَيْنَبُ:‏‏‏‏ كَانَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ إِذَا تُوُفِّيَ عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا دَخَلَتْ حِفْشًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَبِسَتْ شَرَّ ثِيَابِهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَمْ تَمَسَّ طِيبًا وَلَا شَيْئًا حَتَّى تَمُرَّ بِهَا سَنَةٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ تُؤْتَى بِدَابَّةٍ حِمَارٍ أَوْ شَاةٍ أَوْ طَيْرٍ فَتَفْتَضُّ بِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَلَّمَا تَفْتَضُّ بِشَيْءٍ إِلَّا مَاتَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ تَخْرُجُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَتُعْطَى بَعْرَةً فَتَرْمِي بِهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَتُرَاجِعُ بَعْدُ مَا شَاءَتْ مِنْ طِيبٍ أَوْ غَيْرِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ مَالِكٌ:‏‏‏‏ تَفْتَضُّ تَمْسَحُ بِهِ فِي حَدِيثِ مُحَمَّدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ مَالِكٌ:‏‏‏‏ الْحِفْشُ الْخُصُّ.

She told him these three Hadiths. Zainab رضی الله عنہا said: I entered upon Umm Habibah رضی الله عنہا , the wife of the Prophet, when her father Abu Sufyan bin Harb رضی الله عنہ died. Umm Habibah رضی الله عنہا called for some perfume and put some on a young girl, then she put some on her cheeks. Then she said: 'By Allah, I do not have any need for perfume but I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: It is not permissible for any woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to mourn for anyone who dies for more than three days, except for a husband, (for whom the mourning period is) four months and ten days.' Zainab said: "Then I went into Zainab bint Jahsh رضی الله عنہا when her brother died, and she called for some perfume and put some on. Then she said: 'By Allah, I do not have any need for perfume but I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say on the Mirzbar.: It is not permissible for any woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to mourn for anyone who dies for more than three days, except for a husband, (for whom the mourning period is) four months and ten days.'" Zainab said: "I heard Umm Salamah رضی الله عنہا say: 'A woman came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: O Messenger of Allah, my daughter's husband has died and she has a problem in her eye; can I put kohl on her? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: No. Then he said: "It is four months and ten days. During the Jahiliyyah one of you would throw a piece of dung at the end of the year.' Humaid said: "I said to Zainab رضی الله عنہا: 'What is this throwing a piece of dung at the end of the year?' She said: 'If a woman's husband died, she would enter a small room (Hifsh) and wear her worst clothes, and she would not put on perfume or anything until a year. Then an animal would be brought, a donkey or sheep or bud, and she would end her 'Iddah with it (clean herself with it), and usually any animal used for that purpose would die. Then she would come out and would be given a piece of dung which she would throw, then she would go back to whatever she wanted of perfume, etc."' In the narration of Muhammad (bin Salamah) Mailik said: Hifsh means hut.
