صحیح مسلم · Hadith 3734
Zainab bint Abu Salama reported: Umm Salama and Umm Habiba (Allah be pleased with them) were talking with each other (and saying) that a woman came to Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and mentioned to him that her daughter had lost her husband, and her eyes were sore and she wnted to use collyrium, whereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: One among you used to throw dung at the end of a year, and now (this abstinence from adornment) is only for four months and ten days.
