قَالَ حُمَيْدٌ فَقُلْتُ لِزَيْنَبَ وَمَا تَرْمِي بِالْبَعَرَةِ عَلَى رَأْسِ الْحَوْلِ فَقَالَتْ زَيْنَبُ كَانَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ إِذَا تُوُفِّيَ عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا دَخَلَتْ حِفْشًا، وَلَبِسَتْ شَرَّ ثِيَابِهَا، وَلَمْ تَمَسَّ طِيبًا حَتَّى تَمُرَّ بِهَا سَنَةٌ، ثُمَّ تُؤْتَى بِدَابَّةٍ حِمَارٍ أَوْ شَاةٍ أَوْ طَائِرٍ فَتَفْتَضُّ بِهِ، فَقَلَّمَا تَفْتَضُّ بِشَىْءٍ إِلاَّ مَاتَ، ثُمَّ تَخْرُجُ فَتُعْطَى بَعَرَةً فَتَرْمِي، ثُمَّ تُرَاجِعُ بَعْدُ مَا شَاءَتْ مِنْ طِيبٍ أَوْ غَيْرِهِ. سُئِلَ مَالِكٌ مَا تَفْتَضُّ بِهِ قَالَ تَمْسَحُ بِهِ جِلْدَهَا.

Narrator: I (Humaid)

English translation
I (Humaid) said to Zainab, "What does 'throwing a globe of dung when one year had elapsed' mean?" Zainab said, "When a lady was bereaved of her husband, she would live in a wretched small room and put on the worst clothes she had and would not touch any scent till one year had elapsed. Then she would bring an animal, e.g. a donkey, a sheep or a bird and rub her body against it. The animal against which she would rub her body would scarcely survive. Only then she would come out of her room, whereupon she would be given a globe of dung which she would throw away and then she would use the scent she liked or the like

(হুমায়দ বলেন, আমি যাইনাবকে জিজ্ঞেস করলাম, এক বছরের মাথায় বিষ্ঠা নিক্ষেপের অর্থ কী? তিনি বলেন, সে যুগে কোন স্ত্রীর স্বামী মারা গেলে সে অতি ক্ষুদ্র একটি প্রকোষ্ঠে প্রবেশ করতো এবং নিকৃষ্ট কাপড় পরত, কোন খুশবু ব্যবহার করতে পারত না। এভাবে এক বছর পার হলে তার কাছে চতুষ্পদ জন্তু যথা- গাধা, বকরী অথবা গাভী আনা হতো। আর সে তার গায়ে হাত বুলাতো। হাত বুলাতে বুলাতে অনেক সময় সেটা মরেও যেত। এরপর সে স্ত্রীলোকটি) বেরিয়ে আসতো। তাকে বিষ্ঠা দেয়া হতো এবং তা তাকে নিক্ষেপ করতে হতো। অতঃপর সে ইচ্ছা করলে খুশবু অথবা অন্য কিছু ব্যবহার করতে পারত। মালিক (রহ.)-কে ما تفتضبه শব্দের অর্থ জিজ্ঞেস করা হলে তিনি বলেনঃ ‘‘স্ত্রীলোকটি ঐ প্রাণীর চামড়ায় হাত বুলাতো’’। [মুসলিম ১৮/৯, হাঃ ১৪৮৬, ১৪৮৯] আধুনিক প্রকাশনী- ৪৯৩৯, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশন
