أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَعْدَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى بْنِ مَعْدَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَعْيَنَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ نَافِعٍ مَوْلَى الْأَنْصَارِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ امْرَأَةً مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ جَاءَتْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ ابْنَتِي تُوُفِّيَ عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَقَدْ خِفْتُ عَلَى عَيْنِهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَهِيَ تُرِيدُ الْكُحْلَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَدْ كَانَتْ إِحْدَاكُنَّ تَرْمِي بِالْبَعْرَةِ عَلَى رَأْسِ الْحَوْلِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِنَّمَا هِيَ أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرًا ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقُلْتُ لِزَيْنَبَ:‏‏‏‏ مَا رَأْسُ الْحَوْلِ ؟ قَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ كَانَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ إِذَا هَلَكَ زَوْجُهَا عَمَدَتْ إِلَى شَرِّ بَيْتٍ لَهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَجَلَسَتْ فِيهِ حَتَّى إِذَا مَرَّتْ بِهَا سَنَةٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏خَرَجَتْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَرَمَتْ وَرَاءَهَا بِبَعْرَةٍ.

A woman from the Quraish came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: My daughter's husband has died, and I am worried about her eyes; she needs kohl. He said: One of you used to throw a piece of dung after a year had passed. Rather it (the mourning period) is four months and ten days. I (the narrator) said to Zainab: What does 'after a year had passed' mean? She said: During the Jahiliyyah, if a woman's husband died she would go to the worst room she had and stay there, then, when a year had passed, she would come out and throw a piece of dung behind her.
