Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ عَنْ نَافِعٍ أَنَّ صَفِيَّةَ ابْنَةَ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتْ حَفْصَةَ ابْنَةَ عُمَرَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يَحِلُّ لِامْرَأَةٍ تُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ أَوْ تُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ أَنْ تُحِدَّ عَلَى مَيِّتٍ فَوْقَ ثَلَاثٍ إِلَّا عَلَى زَوْجٍ فَإِنَّهَا تُحِدُّ عَلَيْهِ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرًا.
English Translation
Isma'il told us, Ayyub told 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), say: 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 believes in Allah and His Messenger, to mourn for a deceased person for more than three days, except for a husband, for she mourns for him four months and ten days."
