حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ دِينَارٍ عَنْ نَافِعٍ أَنَّ صَفِيَّةَ ابْنَةَ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ حَدَّثَتْهُ عَنْ حَفْصَةَ أَوْ عَائِشَةَ أَوْ عَنْهُمَا كِلْتَيْهِمَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَا يَحِلُّ لِامْرَأَةٍ تُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ أَنْ تُحِدَّ فَوْقَ ثَلَاثٍ إِلَّا عَلَى زَوْجِهَا.

'Affan told us, 'Abd al-'Aziz b. Muslim told us, 'Abdullah b. Dinar 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 to mourn for more than three days, except for her husband."
