Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi from Safiyya bint Abi
Ubayd from A'isha and Hafsa, the wives of the Prophet, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, "It is not halal for a woman in
mourning for someone who has died, if she trusts in Allah and the Last
Day, to abstain from adornment for more than three nights, except for
a husband."

Zaynab said, "I heard my mother, Umm Salama, the wife of the
Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say that a woman
came to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, and said, 'Messenger of Allah! My daughter's husband died, and
her eyes are troubling her, can she put kohl on them?' The Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'No' two or
three times. Then he said, 'It is only four months and ten days. In
the Jahiliyya, none of you threw away the piece of dung until a year
had passed.' "
