أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ وَالْحَارِثُ بْنُ مِسْکِينٍ قِرَائَةً عَلَيْهِ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ وَاللَّفْظُ لِمُحَمَّدٍ قَالَا أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ مَالِکٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ الْمِسْوَرِ بْنِ مَخْرَمَةَ أَنَّ سُبَيْعَةَ الْأَسْلَمِيَّةَ نُفِسَتْ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ زَوْجِهَا بِلَيَالٍ فَجَائَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَاسْتَأْذَنَتْ أَنْ تَنْکِحَ فَأَذِنَ لَهَا فَنَکَحَتْ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 3539
It was narrated from Safiyyah bint Abi ‘Ubaid from one of the wives of the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم , and from Umm Salamah, that the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: “It is not permissible for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to mourn for anyone who dies for more than three days except for a husband; she should mourn for him for four months and ten (days).” (Sahih)
