lifetime of Allah's Apostle . 'Umar bin Al-Khattab asked Allah's
Apostle about that. Allah's Apostle said, "Order him (your son) to
take her back and keep her till she is clean and then to wait till she
gets her next period and becomes clean again, whereupon, if he wishes
to keep her, he can do so, and if he wishes to divorce her he can
divorce her before having sexual intercourse with her; and that is the
prescribed period which Allah has fixed for the women meant to be
divorced."

counted (i.e. as one legal divorce)?" Ibn 'Umar said, "Of course."
Narrated Yunus bin Jubair: Ibn 'Umar said, "The Prophet said to
'Umar, 'Order him (Ibn 'Umar) to take her back.' " I asked, "Is such a

bride) and he went near her, she said, "I seek refuge with Allah from
you." He said, "You have sought refuge with The Great; return to your
family."
Volume 7, Book 63, Number 182:
Narrated Abu Usaid:
We went out with the Prophet to a garden called Ash-Shaut till we
reached two walls between which we sat down. The Prophet said, "Sit
here," and went in (the garden). The Jauniyya (a lady from Bani Jaun)
had been brought and lodged in a house in a date-palm garden in the
home of Umaima bint An-Nu'man bin Sharahil, and her wet nurse was with
her. When the Prophet entered upon her, he said to her, "Give me
yourself (in marriage) as a gift." She said, "Can a princess give
herself in marriage to an ordinary man?" The Prophet raised his hand
to pat her so that she might become tranquil. She said, "I seek refuge
with Allah from you." He said, "You have sought refuge with One Who
gives refuge. Then the Prophet came out to us and said, "O Abu Usaid!
Give her two white linen dresses to wear and let her go back to her
family." Narrated Sahl and Abu Usaid: The Prophet married Umaima bint
Sharahil, and when she was brought to him, he stretched his hand
towards her. It seemed that she disliked that, whereupon the Prophet
ordered Abu Usaid to prepare her and to provide her with two white
linen dresses. (See Hadith No. 541).

divorced his wife while she was menstruating. 'Umar then went to the
Prophet and mentioned that to him. The Prophet ordered him to take her
back and when she became clean, he could divorce her if he wanted." I
asked (Ibn 'Umar), "Was that divorce counted as one legal divorce?"
He said, "If one becomes helpless and foolish (will he be excused? Of
course not). "
Volume 7, Book 63, Number 185:
Narrated Sahl bin Sad As-Sa'idi:
Uwaimir Al-'Ajlani came to 'Asim bin Adi Al-Ansari and asked, "O
'Asim! Tell me, if a man sees his wife with another man, should he
kill him, whereupon you would kill him in Qisas, or what should he do?
O 'Asim! Please ask Allah's Apostle about that." 'Asim asked Allah's
Apostle about that. Allah's Apostle disliked that question and
considered it disgraceful. What 'Asim heard from Allah's Apostle was
hard on him. When he returned to his family, 'Uwaimir came to him and
said "O 'Asim! What did Allah's Apostle say to you?" 'Asim said, "You
never bring me any good. Allah's Apostle disliked to hear the problem
which I asked him about." 'Uwaimir said, "By Allah, I will not leave
the matter till I ask him about it." So 'Uwaimir proceeded till he
came to Allah's Apostle who was in the midst of the people and said,
"O Allah's Apostle! If a man finds with his wife another man, should
he kill him, whereupon you would kill him (in Qisas): or otherwise,
what should he do?" Allah's Apostle said, "Allah has revealed
something concerning the question of you and your wife. Go and bring
her here." So they both carried out the judgment of Lian, while I was
present among the people (as a witness). When both of them had
finished, 'Uwaimir said, "O Allah's Apostle! If I should now keep my
wife with me, then I have told a lie". Then he pronounced his decision
to divorce her thrice before Allah's Apostle ordered him to do so.
(Ibn Shihab said, "That was the tradition for all those who are
involved in a case of Lian."

Narrated 'Aisha:
The wife of Rifa'a Al-Qurazi came to Allah's Apostle and said, "O
Allah's Apostle! Rifa'a divorced me irrevocably. After him I married
'Abdur-Rahman bin Az-Zubair Al-Qurazi who proved to be impotent."
Allah's Apostle said to her, "Perhaps you want to return to Rifa'a?
Nay (you cannot return to Rifa'a) until you and 'Abdur-Rahman
consummate your marriage."
Volume 7, Book 63, Number 187:
Narrated 'Aisha:
A man divorced his wife thrice (by expressing his decision to divorce
her thrice), then she married another man who also divorced her. The
Prophet was asked if she could legally marry the first husband (or
not). The Prophet replied, "No, she cannot marry the first husband
unless the second husband consummates his marriage with her, just as
the first husband had done."
Volume 7, Book 63, Number 188:
Narrated 'Aisha:
Allah's Apostle gave us the option (to remain with him or to be
divorced) and we selected Allah and His Apostle . So, giving us that
option was not regarded as divorce.

Narrated Musruq:
I asked 'Aisha about the option: She said, "The Prophet gave us the
option. Do you think that option was considered as a divorce?" I said,

hundred times after she has chosen me."
Volume 7, Book 63, Number 190:
Narrated 'Aisha:
A man divorced his wife and she married another man who proved to be

and said, "O Allah's Apostle! My first husband divorced me and then I
married another man who entered upon me to consummate his marriage but
he proved to be impotent and did not approach me except once during
which he benefited nothing from me. Can I remarry my first husband in
this case?" Allah's Apostle said, "It is unlawful to marry your first
husband till the other husband consummates his marriage with you."
Volume 7, Book 63, Number 191:
Narrated Said bin Jubair:
that he heard Ibn 'Abbas saying, "If a man makes his wife unlawful for
him, it does not mean that she is divorced." He added, "Indeed in the
Apostle of Allah , you have a good example to follow."
Volume 7, Book 63, Number 192:
Narrated 'Ubaid bin 'Umar:
I heard 'Aisha saying, "The Prophet used to stay for a long while with
Zanab bint Jahsh and drink honey at her house. So Hafsa and I decided
that if the Prophet came to anyone of us, she should say him, "I
detect the smell of Maghafir (a nasty smelling gum) in you. Have you
eaten Maghafir?' " So the Prophet visited one of them and she said to
him similarly. The Prophet said, "Never mind, I have taken some honey
at the house of Zainab bint Jahsh, but I shall never drink of it
anymore." So there was revealed: 'O Prophet ! Why do you ban (for you)
that which Allah has made lawful for you . . . If you two (wives of
Prophet) turn in repentance to Allah,' (66.1-4) addressing Aisha and
Hafsa. 'When the Prophet disclosed a matter in confidence to some of
his wives.' (66.3) namely his saying: But I have taken some honey."
Volume 7, Book 63, Number 193:
Narrated 'Aisha:
Allah's Apostle was fond of honey and sweet edible things and (it was
his habit) that after finishing the 'Asr prayer he would visit his
wives and stay with one of them at that time. Once he went to Hafsa,
the daughter of 'Umar and stayed with her more than usual. I got
jealous and asked the reason for that. I was told that a lady of her
folk had given her a skin filled with honey as a present, and that she
made a syrup from it and gave it to the Prophet to drink (and that was
the reason for the delay). I said, "By Allah we will play a trick on
him (to prevent him from doing so)." So I said to Sada bint Zam'a "The
Prophet will approach you, and when he comes near you, say: 'Have you
taken Maghafir (a bad-smelling gum)?' He will say, 'No.' Then say to
him: 'Then what is this bad smell which i smell from you?' He will say
to you, 'Hafsa made me drink honey syrup.' Then say: Perhaps the bees
of that honey had sucked the juice of the tree of Al-'Urfut.' I shall
also say the same. O you, Safiyya, say the same." Later Sada said, "By
Allah, as soon as he (the Prophet ) stood at the door, I was about to
say to him what you had ordered me to say because I was afraid of
you." So when the Prophet came near Sada, she said to him, "O Allah's
Apostle! Have you taken Maghafir?" He said, "No." She said. "Then what
is this bad smell which I detect on you?" He said, "Hafsa made me
drink honey syrup." She said, "Perhaps its bees had sucked the juice
of Al-'Urfut tree." When he came to me, I also said the same, and when
he went to Safiyya, she also said the same. And when the Prophet again
went to Hafsa, she said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Shall I give you more of
that drink?" He said, "I am not in need of it." Sada said, "By Allah,
we deprived him (of it)." I said to her, "Keep quiet." '

witnesses against himself. On that the Prophet called him and said,
"Are you insane?" (He added), "Are you married?" The man said, 'Yes."

Musalla (a praying place). When the stones hit him with their sharp
edges and he fled, but he was caught at Al-Harra and then killed

towards which the Prophet had turned his face, and said, "O Allah's
Apostle! I have committed illegal sexual intercourse." The Prophet
turned his face (from him) to the other side whereupon the man moved
to the side towards which the Prophet had turned his face, and
repeated his statement. The Prophet turned his face (from him) to the
other side again. The man moved again (and repeated his statement) for
the fourth time. So when the man had given witness four times against
himself, the Prophet called him and said, "Are you insane?" He
replied, "No." The Prophet then said (to his companions), "Go and
stone him to death." The man was a married one. Jabir bin 'Abdullah
Al-Ansari said: I was one of those who stoned him. We stoned him at

"Will you give back the garden which your husband has given you (as

entered the house while some meat was being cooked in a pot, but only
bread and some soup of the house were placed before, him. He said,
"Don't I see the pot containing meat?" They said, "Yes, but that meat
was given to Barira in charity (by someone), and you do not eat what
it given in charity."The Prophet said "That meat is alms for her, but
for us it is a present."

Mughith?" The Prophet then said to Barira, "Why don't you return to
him?" She said, "O Allah's Apostle! Do you order me to do so?" He
said, "No, I only intercede for him." She said, "I am not in need of
him."

Whenever Ibn 'Umar was asked about marrying a Christian lady or a
Jewess, he would say: "Allah has made it unlawful for the believers to
marry ladies who ascribe partners in worship to Allah, and I do not
know of a greater thing, as regards to ascribing partners in worship,
etc. to Allah, than that a lady should say that Jesus is her Lord
although he is just one of Allah's slaves."
Volume 7, Book 63, Number 210:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
The pagans were of two kinds as regards their relationship to the
Prophet and the Believers. Some of them were those with whom the
Prophet was at war and used to fight against, and they used to fight
him; the others were those with whom the Prophet made a treaty, and
neither did the Prophet fight them, nor did they fight him. If a lady
from the first group of pagans emigrated towards the Muslims, her hand
would not be asked in marriage unless she got the menses and then
became clean. When she became clean, it would be lawful for her to get
married, and if her husband emigrated too before she got married, then
she would be returned to him. If any slave or female slave emigrated
from them to the Muslims, then they would be considered free persons
(not slaves) and they would have the same rights as given to other
emigrants. The narrator then mentioned about the pagans involved with
the Muslims in a treaty, the same as occurs in Mujahid's narration. If
a male slave or a female slave emigrated from such pagans as had made
a treaty with the Muslims, they would not be returned, but their
prices would be paid (to the pagans). Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: Qariba,
the daughter of Abi Umaiyya, was the wife of 'Umar bin Al-Khattab.
'Umar divorced her and then Mu'awiyya bin Abi Sufyan married her.

emigrants, he used to test them in accordance with the order of Allah.
'O you who believe! When believing women come to you as emigrants,
examine them . . .' (60.10) So if anyone of those believing women
accepted the above mentioned conditions, she accepted the conditions
of faith. When they agreed on those conditions and confessed that with
their tongues, Allah's Apostle would say to them, "Go, I have accepted
your oath of allegiance (for Islam). By Allah, and hand of Allah's
Apostle never touched the hand of any woman, but he only used to take
their pledge of allegiance orally. By Allah, Allah's Apostle did not
take the pledge of allegiance of the women except in accordance with
what Allah had ordered him. When he accepted their pledge of
allegiance he would say to them, "I have accepted your oath of
allegiance."

expired, the husband should be put in prison so that he should divorce
his wife, but the divorce does not occur unless the husband himself
declares it. This has been mentioned by 'Uthman, 'Ali, Abu Ad-Darda,
'Aisha and twelve other companions of the Prophet ."

camel. He got angry and his face became red and he said (to the
questioner), "You have nothing to do with it; it has its feet and its
water container with it; it can go on drinking water and eating trees
till its owner meets it." And then the Prophet was asked about a
Luqata (money found by somebody). He said, "Remember and recognize its
tying material and its container, and make public announcement about
it for one year. If somebody comes and identifies it (then give it to
him), otherwise add it to your property."

you? So-and so?", mentioning somebody other than her murderer. She
moved her head, indicating denial. The Prophet mentioned another
person other than the murderer, and she again moved her head
indicating denial. Then he asked, "Was it so-and-so?", mentioning the
name of her killer. She nodded, agreeing. Then Allah's Apostle;
ordered that the head of that Jew be crushed between two stones.

still daytime. " The Prophet again said, "Get down and prepare a drink
of Sawiq." So the third time the man got down and prepared a drink of

like that of two persons wearing iron cloaks from the breast upto the
neck When the generous person spends, the iron cloak enlarges and
spread over his skin so much so that it covers his fingertips and
obliterates his tracks. As for the miser, as soon as he thinks of
spending every ring of the iron cloak sticks to its place (against his
body) and he tries to expand it, but it does not expand. The Prophet
pointed with his hand towards his throat.
Volume 7, Book 63, Number 220:

Ash-hal, and after them are Banu Al-Harith bin Al-Khazraj, and after

'Uwaimir Al-Ajlani came to 'Asim bin Ad Al-Ansari and said to him, "O
'Asim! Suppose a man saw another man with his wife, would he kill him
whereupon you would kill him; or what should he do? Please, O 'Asim,
ask about this on my behalf." 'Asim asked Allah's Apostle about it.
Allah's Apostle, disliked that question and considered it disgraceful.
What 'Asim heard from Allah's Apostle was hard on him. When 'Asim
returned to his family, 'Uwaimir came to him and said, "O 'Asim! What
did Allah's Apostle. say to you?" 'Asim said to 'Uwaimir, "You never
bring me any good. Allah's Apostle disliked the problem which I asked
him about." 'Uwaimir said, "By Allah, I will not give up this matter
until I ask the Prophet about it." So 'Uwaimir proceeded till he came
to Allah's Apostle in the midst of people, and said, "O Allah's
Apostle! If a man sees another man with his wife, would he kill him,
whereupon you would kill him, or what should he do?" Allah's Apostle
said, "Allah has revealed some decree as regards you and your wives
case. Go and bring her." So they carried out the process of Lian while
I was present among the people with Allah's Apostle. When they had
finished their Lian, 'Uwaimir said, "O Allah's Apostle! If I should
now keep her with me as a wife, then I have told a lie." So he
divorced her thrice before Allah's Apostle ordered him. (Ibn Shihab
said: So divorce was the tradition for all those who were involved in
a case of Lian.)
Volume 7, Book 63, Number 229:
Narrated Ibn Juraij:
Ibn Shihab informed me of Lian and the tradition related to it,
referring to the narration of Sahl bin Sad, the brother of Bani Sa'idi
He said, "An Ansari man came to Allah's Apostle and said, 'O Allah's
Apostle! If a man saw another man with his wife, should he kill him,
or what should he do?' So Allah revealed concerning his affair what is
mentioned in the Holy Quran about the affair of those involved in a
case of Lian. The Prophet said, 'Allah has given His verdict regarding
you and your wife.' So they carried out Lian in the mosque while I was
present there. When they had finished, the man said, "O Allah's
Apostle! If I should now keep her with me as a wife then I have told a
lie about her. Then he divorced her thrice before Allah's Apostle
ordered him, when they had finished the Lian process. So he divorced
her in front of the Prophet ." Ibn Shihab added, "After their case, it
became a tradition that a couple involved in a case of Lian should be
separated by divorce. That lady was pregnant then, and later on her
son was called by his mother's name. The tradition concerning their
inheritance was that she would be his heir and he would inherit of her
property the share Allah had prescribed for him." Ibn Shihab said that
Sahl bin Sad As'Saidi said that the Prophet said (in the above
narration), "If that lady delivers a small red child like a lizard,
then the lady has spoken the truth and the man was a liar, but if she
delivers a child with black eyes and huge lips, then her husband has
spoken the truth." Then she delivered it in the shape one would
dislike (as it proved her guilty).
Volume 7, Book 63, Number 230:
Narrated Al-Qasim bin Muhammad:
Ibn 'Abbas; said, "Once Lian was mentioned before the Prophet
whereupon 'Asim bin Adi said something and went away. Then a man from
his tribe came to him, complaining that he had found a man width his
wife. 'Asim said, 'I have not been put to task except for my statement
(about Lian).' 'Asim took the man to the Prophet and the man told him
of the state in which he had found his wife. The man was pale, thin,
and of lank hair, while the other man whom he claimed he had seen with
his wife, was brown, fat and had much flesh on his calves. The Prophet
invoked, saying, 'O Allah! Reveal the truth.' So that lady delivered a
child resembling the man whom her husband had mentioned he had found
her with. The Prophet then made them carry out Lian." Then a man from
that gathering asked Ibn 'Abbas, "Was she the same lady regarding
which the Prophet had said, 'If I were to stone to death someone
without witness, I would have stoned this lady'?" Ibn 'Abbas said,
"No, that was another lady who, though being a Muslim, used to arouse
suspicion by her outright misbehavior. "
Volume 7, Book 63, Number 231:
Narrated Said bin Jubair:
I asked Ibn 'Umar, "(What is the verdict if) a man accuses his wife of
illegal sexual intercourse?" Ibn 'Umar said, "The Prophet separated
(by divorce) the couple of Bani Al-Ajlan, and said, (to them), 'Allah
knows that one of you two is a liar; so will one of you repent?' But
both of them refused. He again said, 'Allah knows that one of you two
is a liar; so will one of you repent?' But both of them refused. So he
separated them by divorce." (Aiyub, a sub-narrator said: 'Amr bin
Dinar said to me, "There is something else in this Hadith which you
have not mentioned. It goes thus: The man said, 'What about my money
(i.e. the Mahr that I have given to my wife)?' It was said, 'You have
no right to restore any money, for if you have spoken the truth (as
regards the accusation), you have also consummated your marriage with
her; and if you have told a lie, you are less rightful to have your
money back.' ")
Volume 7, Book 63, Number 232:
Narrated Said bin Jubair:
I asked Ibn 'Umar about those who were involved in a case of Lien. He
said, "The Prophet said to those who were involved in a case of Lien,
'Your accounts are with Allah. One of you two is a liar, and you (the
husband) have no right over her (she is divorced)." The man said,
'What about my property (Mahr) ?' The Prophet said, 'You have no right
to get back your property. If you have told the truth about her then
your property was for the consummation of your marriage with her; and
if you told a lie about her, then you are less rightful to get your
property back.' " Sufyan, a sub-narrator said: I learned the Hadith
from 'Amr. Narrated Aiyub: I heard Sa'id bin Jubair saying, "I asked
Ibn 'Umar, 'If a man (accuses his wife for an illegal sexual
intercourse and) carries out the process of Lian (what will happen)?'
Ibn 'Umar set two of his fingers apart. (Sufyan set his index finger
and middle finger apart.) Ibn 'Umar said, 'The Prophet separated the
couple of Bani Al-Ajlan by divorce and said thrice, "Allah knows that
one of you two is a liar; so will one of you repent (to Allah)?' "

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
Those involved in a case of Lian were mentioned before Allah's Apostle

from his tribe came to him and told him that he had found another man
with his wife. On that 'Asim said, "I have not been put to task except
for what I have said (about Lian)." 'Asim took the man to Allah's
Apostle and he told him of the state in which he found his wife. The
man was pale, thin and lank-haired, while the other man whom he had
found with his wife was brown, fat with thick calves and curly hair.
Allah's Apostle said, "O Allah! Reveal the truth." Then the lady
delivered a child resembling the man whom her husband had mentioned he
had found with her. So Allah's Apostle ordered them to carry out Lien.
A man from that gathering said to Ibn 'Abbas, "Was she the same lady
regarding whom Allah's Apostle said, 'If I were to stone to death
someone without witnesses, I would have stoned this lady'?" Ibn 'Abbas
said, "No, that was another lady who, though being a Muslim, used to
arouse suspicion because of her outright misbehavior."

not obey me (or had a convincing argument)." (In Al-Qasim's versions
Marwan said, "Have you not heard of the case of Fatima bint Qais?"
Aisha said, "The case of Fatima bint Qais is not in your favor.'

'Aisha), "Haven't you heard the statement of Fatima?" 'Aisha replied,
"It is not in her favor to mention." 'Ursa added, 'Aisha reproached

divorced her and remained away from her till her period of the 'Iddah
expired. Then he demanded for her hand in marriage, but Ma'qil got
angry out of pride and haughtiness and said, "He kept away from her
when he could still retain her, and now he demands her hand again?" So
Ma'qil disagreed to remarry her to him. Then Allah revealed: 'When you
have divorced women and they have fulfilled the term of their
prescribed period, do not prevent them from marrying their (former)
husbands.' (2.232) So the Prophet sent for Ma'qil and recited to him
(Allah's order) and consequently Ma'qil gave up his pride and
haughtiness and yielded to Allah's order.

Ibn 'Umar bin Al-Khattab divorced his wife during her menses. Allah's
Apostle ordered him to take her back till she became clean, and when
she got another period while she was with him, she should wait till
she became clean again and only then, if he wanted to divorce her, he
could do so before having sexual relations with her. And that is the
period Allah has fixed for divorcing women. Whenever 'Abdullah (bin
'Umar) was asked about that, he would say to the questioner, "If you
divorced her thrice, she is no longer lawful for you unless she
marries another man (and the other man divorces her in his turn).' Ibn
'Umar further said, 'Would that you (people) only give one or two
divorces, because the Prophet has ordered me so."

He replied, "If somebody behaves foolishly (will his foolishness be an
excuse for his misbehavior)?"
Volume 7, Book 63, Number 251:
Narrated Humaid bin Nafi':
Zainab bint Abu Salama told me these three narrations: Zainab said: I
went to Um Habiba, the wife of the Prophet when her father, Abu-
Sufyan bin Herb had died. Um ,Habiba asked for a perfume which
contained yellow scent (Khaluq) or some other scent, and she first
perfumed one of the girls with it and then rubbed her cheeks with it
and said, "By Allah, I am not in need of perfume, but I have heard
Allah's Apostle saying, 'It is not lawful for a lady who believes in
Allah and the Last Day to mourn for a dead person for more than three
days unless he is her husband for whom she should mourn for four
months and ten days.' " Zainab further said: I want to Zainab bint
Jahsh when her brother died. She asked for perfume and used some of it
and said, "By Allah, I am not in need of perfume, but I have heard
Allah's Apostle saying on the pulpit, 'It is not lawful for a lady who
believes in Allah and the last day to mourn for more than three days
except for her husband for whom she should mourn for four months and
ten days.' " Zainab further said, "I heard my mother, Um Salama saying
that a woman came to Allah's Apostle and said, "O Allah's Apostle! The
husband of my daughter has died and she is suffering from an eye
disease, can she apply kohl to her eye?" Allah's Apostle replied,
"No," twice or thrice. (Every time she repeated her question) he said,
"No." Then Allah's Apostle added, "It is just a matter of four months
and ten days. In the Pre-Islamic Period of ignorance a widow among you
should throw a globe of dung when one year has elapsed." I 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."
Volume 7, Book 63, Number 252:
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 Apostle, 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."
Narrated Um Habiba: The Prophet said, "It is not lawful for a Muslim
woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to mourn for more than
three days, except for her husband, for whom she should mourn for four
months and ten days."

except a garment of 'Asb (special clothes made in Yemen). But it was
permissible for us that when one of us became clean from her menses
and took a bath, she could use a piece of a certain kind of incense.
And it was forbidden for us to follow funeral processions.
Volume 7, Book 63, Number 255:

except for her husband, in which case she should neither put kohl in
her eyes, nor perfume herself, nor wear dyed clothes, except a garment
of 'Asb" Um 'Atiyya added: The Prophet said, "She should not use
perfume except when she becomes clean from her menses whereupon she
can use Qust, and Azfar (two kinds of incense).
Volume 7, Book 63, Number 256:
Narrated Mujahid:
(regarding the Verse): 'If any of you dies and leaves wives behind,'
That was the period of the 'Iddah which the widow was obliged to spend
in the house of the late husband. Then Allah revealed: And those of
you who die and leave wives should bequeath for their wives a year's
maintenance and residence without turning them out, but if they leave,
there is no blame on you for what they do of themselves, provided it
is honorable (i.e. lawful marriage) (2.240) Mujahid said: Allah has
ordered that a widow has the right to stay for seven months and twenty
days with her husband's relatives through her husband's will and
testament so that she will complete the period of one year (of
'Iddah). But the widow has the right to stay that extra period or go
out of her husband's house as is indicated by the statement of Allah:
'But if they leave there is no blame on you,... ' (2.240) Ibn 'Abbas
said: The above Verse has cancelled the order of spending the period
of the 'Iddah at her late husband's house, and so she could spend her
period of the 'Iddah wherever she likes. And Allah says: 'Without
turning them out.' 'Ata said: If she would, she could spend her period
of the 'Iddah at her husband's house, and live there according to her
(husband's) will and testament, and if she would, she could go out (of
her husband's house) as Allah says: 'There is no blame on you for
what they do of themselves.' (2.240) 'Ata added: Then the Verses of
inheritance were revealed and the order of residence (for the widow)
was cancelled, and she could spend her period of the 'Iddah wherever
she would like, and she was no longer entitled to be accommodated by
her husband's family.
Volume 7, Book 63, Number 257:
Narrated Zainab bint Um Salama:
When Um Habiba bint Abi Sufyan was informed of her father's death, she

lawful for a lady who believes in Allah and the Last Day to mourn for
more than three days except for her husband for whom the (mourning)
period is four months and ten days."

separated the couple of Bani 'Ajlan (when the husband accused his wife
for an illegal sexual intercourse). The Prophet said, 'Allah knows
that one of you two IS a liar; so will one of you repent?' But they
refused. He then again said, 'Allah knows that one of you two is a
liar; so will one of you repent?' But they refused, whereupon he
separated them by divorce." Aiyub (a sub-narrator) said: 'Amr bin
Dinar said to me, "In the narration there is something which I do not
see you mentioning, i.e. the husband said, "What about my money
(Mahr)?' The Prophet said, "You are not entitled to take back money,
for if you told the truth you have already entered upon her (and
consummated your marriage with her) and if you are a liar then you are
less entitled to take it back.

The Prophet
said, "You are not entitled to take back any money. If you have told
the truth, the Mahr that you paid, was for having sexual relations
with her lawfully; and if you are a liar, then you are less entitled
to get it back."
