حدثنا آدم بن ابي إياس، حدثنا شعبة، حدثنا حميد بن نافع، عن زينب بنت ام سلمة، عن امها، ان امراة توفي زوجها، فخشوا على عينيها، فاتوا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، فاستاذنوه في الكحل، فقال: لا تكحل، قد كانت إحداكن تمكث في شر احلاسها او شر بيتها، فإذا كان حول فمر كلب رمت ببعرة، فلا حتى تمضي اربعة اشهر وعشر".
Narrated Um Salama: A woman was bereaved of her husband and her relatives worried about her eyes (which were diseased). They came to Allah's Apostle, and asked him to allow them to treat her eyes with kohl, but he said, "She should not apply kohl to her eyes. (In the Pre-Islamic period of Ignorance) a widowed woman among you would stay in the worst of her clothes (or the worst part of her house) and when a year had elapsed, if a dog passed by her, she would throw a globe of dung, Nay, (she cannot use kohl) till four months and ten days have elapsed."

قالت زينب وسمعت ام سلمة تقول جاءت امراة إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقالت يا رسول الله إن ابنتي توفي عنها زوجها وقد اشتكت عينها افتكحلها فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: «لا» . مرتين او ثلاثا كل ذلك يقول لا، ثم قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: «إنما هي اربعة اشهر وعشر، وقد كانت إحداكن في الجاهلية ترمي بالبعرة على راس الحول» .
Zainab further said: "I heard my mother, Um Salama saying that a woman came to Allah's Apostle and said, "O Allah's Apostle! The husband of my daughter has died and she is suffering from an eye disease, can she apply kohl to her eye?" Allah's Apostle replied, "No," twice or thrice. (Every time she repeated her question) he said, "No." Then Allah's Apostle added, "It is just a matter of four months and ten days. In the Pre-Islamic Period of ignorance a widow among you should throw a globe of dung when one year has elapsed."
