Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ نَافِعٍ أَنَّ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتَ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّهَا دَخَلَتْ عَلَى زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ يَقُولُ لَا يَحِلُّ لِامْرَأَةٍ تُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ أَنْ تُحِدَّ عَلَى مَيِّتٍ فَوْقَ ثَلَاثِ لَيَالٍ إِلَّا عَلَى زَوْجٍ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرًا.
English Translation
Abd al-Razzaq told us: Malik informed us, from Abdullah b. Abi Bakr, from Humayd b. Nafi', that Zaynab bint Abi Salamah informed him that she entered upon Zaynab bint Jahsh, the wife of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and she said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say on the pulpit: 'It is not lawful for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to observe mourning for a deceased person for more than three nights, except for a husband - four months and ten days.'"
