Zainab (bint Abu Salama) (Allah be pleased with her) reported

I went to Umm Habiba , the wife of Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) , when her father Abu Sufyan had died. Umm Habiba sent for a perfume having yellowness in it or something else like it , and she applied it to a girl and then rubbed it on her cheeks and then said : By Allah , I need no perfume but for the fact that I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) say on the pulpit : " It is not permissible for a woman believing in Allah and the Hereafter to mourn for the dead beyond three days , but (in case of the death) of the husband it is permissible for four months and ten days.
