حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ بْنُ أَبِي إِيَاسٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ زَيْنَبَ ابْنَةِ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّهَا، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً، تُوُفِّيَ زَوْجُهَا فَخَشُوا عَلَى عَيْنَيْهَا فَأَتَوْا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَاسْتَأْذَنُوهُ فِي الْكُحْلِ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ تَكَحَّلْ قَدْ كَانَتْ إِحْدَاكُنَّ تَمْكُثُ فِي شَرِّ أَحْلاَسِهَا أَوْ شَرِّ بَيْتِهَا، فَإِذَا كَانَ حَوْلٌ فَمَرَّ كَلْبٌ رَمَتْ بِبَعَرَةٍ، فَلاَ حَتَّى تَمْضِيَ أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرٌ ‏"‏.

Narrator: Um Salama

English translation
Narrated Um Salama: A woman was bereaved of her husband and her relatives worried about her eyes (which were diseased). They came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), and asked him to allow them to treat her eyes with kohl, but he said, "She should not apply kohl to her eyes. (In the Pre-Islamic period of Ignorance) a widowed woman among you would stay in the worst of her clothes (or the worst part of her house) and when a year had elapsed, if a dog passed by her, she would throw a globe of dung, Nay, (she cannot use kohl) till four months and ten days have elapsed
বাংলা অনুবাদ
উম্মু সালামাহ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত আছে যে, এক মহিলার স্বামী মারা গেলে তার পরিবারের লোকেরা তার চোখদুটো নষ্ট হয়ে যাওয়ার ভয় করল। তারা রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম-এর কাছে এসে তার সুরমা ব্যবহারের অনুমতি প্রার্থনা করল। তিনি বললেনঃ সুরমা ব্যবহার করতে পারবে না। তোমাদের অনেকেই (জাহিলী যুগে) তার নিকৃষ্ট কাপড় বা নিকৃষ্ট ঘরে অবস্থান করত। যখন এক বছর পেরিয়ে যেত, আর কোন কুকুর সে দিকে যেত, তখন সে বিষ্ঠা নিক্ষেপ করত। কাজেই চার মাস দশ দিন পার না হওয়া পর্যন্ত সুরমা ব্যবহার করতে পারবে না। [৫৩৩৬] (আধুনিক প্রকাশনী- ৪৯৪০, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশন)
