Hadith #393
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْبَجَلِيُّ عَنْ كَرِيمِ بْنِ أَبِي حَازِمٍ عَنْ جَدَّتِهِ سَلْمَى بِنْتِ جَابِرٍ أَنَّ زَوْجَهَا اسْتُشْهِدَ فَأَتَتْ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي امْرَأَةٌ قَدْ اسْتُشْهِدَ زَوْجِي وَقَدْ خَطَبَنِي الرِّجَالُ
فَأَبَيْتُ أَنْ أَتَزَوَّجَ حَتَّى أَلْقَاهُ فَتَرْجُو لِي إِنْ اجْتَمَعْتُ أَنَا وَهُوَ أَنْ أَكُونَ مِنْ أَزْوَاجِهِ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ مَا رَأَيْنَاكَ نَقَلْتَ هَذَا مُذْ قَاعَدْنَاكَ قَالَ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ أَسْرَعَ أُمَّتِي بِي لُحُوقًا فِي الْجَنَّةِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ أَحْمَسَ

English Translation
Abu Ahmad narrated to us, Aban ibn 'Abdullah al-Bajali narrated to us, from Karim ibn Abi Hazim, from his grandmother Salma bint Jabir that her husband was martyred. She came to 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud رضي الله عنه and said: 'I am a woman who works with my hands.' He said: 'Perhaps you are from those women who, when one of them is widowed, she stays in the worst of her clothes until she finishes her waiting period. the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Any woman whose husband dies should not wear garments dyed with safflower or red-dyed clothes, nor jewelry, nor kohl her eyes, nor dye her hands with henna until her waiting period ends.'
