[Machine] The women used to sit during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for forty days, and we would apply warts and saffron on our faces. It was narrated to me by Abu 'Eesa at-Tirmidhi that he said: I asked Muhammad, meaning al-Bukhari, about this hadith, and he said, 'Ali ibn 'Abd al-A'la is trustworthy, Shu'bah narrated to him, and Abu Sahl Kathir ibn Ziyad is trustworthy. I do not know of any other hadith from him.' The sheikh said: It was also narrated by Yunus ibn Nafi' from Abu Sahl Kathir ibn Ziyad.
