I want to Zainab bint Jahsh when her brother died. She
asked for perfume and used some of it and said, "By Allah, I am not in need of perfume, but I have
heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying on the pulpit, 'It is not lawful for a lady who believes in Allah and the
last day to mourn for more than three days except for her husband for whom she should mourn for
four months and ten days.'"
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 68, Hadith 80
