Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It is not permissible for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to mourn for any deceased person for more than three days.

A relative or close kin of Sayyida Umm Habibah (may Allah be pleased with her) passed away, so after three days she sent for yellow color and applied it to her cheeks and said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: It is not permissible for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to mourn for any deceased person for more than three days, except for her husband, for whom she will mourn for four months and ten days.

Sayyida Umm Atiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It is not permissible for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to mourn for any deceased person for more than three days, except for her husband, for whom she will mourn for four months and ten days. She should not apply kohl, nor wear colored clothing, except for a garment made of dyed yarn (which was dyed before being woven).

The noble wife of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), Sayyida Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her), narrates that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: A woman whose husband passes away should not wear yellow or ochre-dyed clothes, nor wear jewelry, nor apply henna, nor apply kohl. Hasan bin Muslim says: In my opinion, there is no harm in applying aloe.

Lady Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that a woman's husband passed away, and during her waiting period ('iddah), her eyes began to hurt. People mentioned this to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), mentioning the use of kohl (antimony), and said: "We fear for her eyesight." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A woman (in the days of ignorance) used to stay in her house for a whole year in dirty clothes," or he said: "in dirty clothes and in a dirty house, and when a dog would pass by, she would throw dung (to mark the end of her waiting period), and now she cannot even complete four months and ten days."

Sayyiduna Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that do not make the Sunnah of our Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) doubtful for us. If an umm walad (a slave woman who has borne a child to her master) loses her husband, then her waiting period (‘iddah) is the same as that of a (free) woman whose husband has died.

Sayyiduna Abu Rimtha Taymi (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that I came to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), and my son was with me. The Prophet (peace be upon him) asked: Is this your son? I said: You be a witness to it. He said: You will not be held accountable for his sin, nor will he be held accountable for your sin. He says: I saw red old age (he had applied henna).

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The blood of all Muslims is equal, even the most ordinary among them has the right to grant protection, and they are supporters of each other against a non-Muslim.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that in Madinah there were (the Jewish) tribes of Qurayzah and Nadir. Nadir was more honorable than Qurayzah. Whenever a man from Nadir killed a man from Qurayzah, one hundred wasq of dates would be given as blood money. But whenever a man from Qurayzah killed a man from Nadir, he would be killed in retaliation for the slain. When the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was sent, a man from Nadir killed a man from Qurayzah. They said: Hand him over to us, we will kill him. The people of Nadir said: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) will decide between us and you. They came to him, and Allah the Exalted revealed this verse: __QUR_5:42__ (If you judge between them, then judge with justice), and justice is that a life is taken for a life. Then this verse was revealed: __QUR_5:50__ (Do they seek the judgment of ignorance?).
