Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ نَافِعٍ أَنَّ صَفِيَّةَ ابْنَةَ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتْ حَفْصَةَ ابْنَةَ عُمَرَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تُحَدِّثُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَا يَحِلُّ لِامْرَأَةٍ تُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ أَوْ بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ أَنْ تُحِدَّ عَلَى مَيِّتٍ فَوْقَ ثَلَاثٍ إِلَّا عَلَى زَوْجٍ.
English Translation
Yazid b. Harun told us, he said Yahya b. Sa'id informed us, from Nafi', that Safiyyah bint Abi 'Ubayd informed him that she heard Hafsah bint 'Umar, wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), relate that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "It is not lawful for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day, or in Allah and His Messenger, to mourn for a deceased person for more than three days, except for a husband."
