Hadith 1486 Part B

setting

Zainab bint Umm Salama (Allah be pleased with her) reported that a relative of Umm Habiba (Allah he pleased with her) died. She sent for a yellow (perfume) and applied that to her forearm and said

I , am doing it , for I have heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying : It is not permissible for a woman believing in Allah and the Hereafter to mourn beyond three days except the husband (for whom she can mourn) for four months and ten days. This hadith was narrated by Zainab from her mother and from Zainab , the wife of Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) , or from some other lady from among the wives of the Prophet (ﷺ).
