Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَعْدٍ عَنْ نَافِعٍ أَنَّ صَفِيَّةَ ابْنَةَ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ حَدَّثَتْهُ عَنْ حَفْصَةَ أَوْ عَائِشَةَ أَوْ عَنْ كِلْتَيْهِمَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَا يَحِلُّ لِامْرَأَةٍ تُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ أَوْ تُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ أَنْ تُحِدَّ عَلَى مَيِّتٍ فَوْقَ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ إِلَّا عَلَى زَوْجِهَا.

Yunus b. Muhammad told us, he said Layth - meaning Ibn Sa'd - told us, from Nafi', that Safiyyah bint Abi 'Ubayd told him, from Hafsah or 'A'ishah, or from both of them, 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 believes in Allah and His Messenger, to mourn for a deceased person for more than three days, except for her husband."
