We were forbidden to mourn for a deceased person more than three days, except for a husband, for whom the period was four months and ten days. During that time we were not to apply kohl, wear perfume, or put on dyed clothing, except for a garment of asb cloth. We were granted a concession at the time of purification, that when one of us bathed after her menstrual period, she could use a small amount of qust and azfar. And we were forbidden to follow funeral processions.
حدثني عبد الله بن عبد الوهاب حدثنا حماد بن زيد عن أيوب عن حفصة
كنا ننهى أن نحد على ميت فوق ثلاث إلا على زوج أربعة أشهر وعشرا ولا نكتحل ولا نطيب ولا نلبس ثوبا مصبوغا إلا ثوب عصب وقد رخص لنا عند الطهر إذا اغتسلت إحدانا من محيضها في نبذة من كست أظفار وكنا ننهى عن اتباع الجنائز
