Sahih Muslim Book - 18, Hadith - 3733

وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ وَعَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ نَافِعٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتَ أَبِى سَلَمَةَ تُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ وَأُمِّ حَبِيبَةَ تَذْكُرَانِ أَنَّ امْرَأَةً أَتَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَذَكَرَتْ لَهُ أَنَّ بِنْتًا لَهَا تُوُفِّىَ عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا فَاشْتَكَتْ عَيْنُهَا فَهْىَ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَكْحُلَهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « قَدْ كَانَتْ إِحْدَاكُنَّ تَرْمِى بِالْبَعَرَةِ عِنْدَ رَأْسِ الْحَوْلِ وَإِنَّمَا هِىَ أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرٌ ».

It was narrated from Humaid bin Nafi' that he heard Zainab bint Abi Salamah narrate that Umm Salamah and Umm Habibah mentioned that a woman came to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) and told him that the husband of a daughter of hers had died, and she had a problem in her eye and wanted to use kohl. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "One of you used to throw a piece of dung at the end of a year. It is only four months and ten days."
