أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِسْحَقَ عَنْ عَمَّتِهِ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ کَعْبٍ عَنْ الْفُرَيْعَةِ بِنْتِ مَالِکٍ أَنَّ زَوْجَهَا تَکَارَی عُلُوجًا لِيَعْمَلُوا لَهُ فَقَتَلُوهُ فَذَکَرَتْ ذَلِکَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَالَتْ إِنِّي لَسْتُ فِي مَسْکَنٍ لَهُ وَلَا يَجْرِي عَلَيَّ مِنْهُ رِزْقٌ أَفَأَنْتَقِلُ إِلَی أَهْلِي وَيَتَامَايَ وَأَقُومُ عَلَيْهِمْ قَالَ افْعَلِي ثُمَّ قَالَ کَيْفَ قُلْتِ فَأَعَادَتْ عَلَيْهِ قَوْلَهَا قَالَ اعْتَدِّي حَيْثُ بَلَغَکِ الْخَبَرُ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 3562
It was narrated from Zainab bint Abi Salamah that Umm Habibah said: “I heard the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم say on this Minbar: ‘It is not permissible for any woman who believes in Allah and His Messenger to mourn for anyone who dies for more than three days, except for a husband, (for whom the mourning period is) four months and ten days.” (Sahih)
