[Machine] I entered the house of Umm Habibah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, when Abu Sufyan died. Umm Habibah sent for a perfume that had a yellowish color and applied it to a slave girl. Then she rubbed it on her cheeks and said, "By Allah, I have no need for this perfume except that I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'Ibn Bukair said on the pulpit that it is not permissible for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to mourn for a dead person for more than three nights, except for her husband for four months and ten days.'" Zaynab said, "I entered upon Zaynab bint Jahsh, may Allah be pleased with her, when her brother Abdullah died. She sent for a perfume and applied it to herself. Then she said, 'I have no need for this perfume except that I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say on the pulpit that it is not permissible for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to mourn for a dead person for more than three nights, except for her husband for four months and ten days.'"
