Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that Salim ibn
Abdullah and Sulayman ibn Yasar said that if a woman whose husband had
died feared that an inflammation of her eyes might affect her sight or
that some complaint might befall her, she should put kohl on and seek
a remedy with kohl or some other cure even if it had perfume in it.

wipe it off in the day."

Ubayd suffered from an eye-complaint while she was in mourning for her

almost had ramas (a dry white secretion in the corners of the eye).
