I entered upon Umm Habibah, the wife of the Prophet, when her father Abu Sufyan bin Harb died. Umm Habibah called for some perfume and put some on a young girl, then she put some on her cheeks. Then she said: 'By Allah, I do not have any need for perfume but I heard the Messenger of Allah say: It is not permissible for any woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to mourn for anyone who dies for more than three days, except for a husband, (for whom the mourning period is) four months and ten days.'

:Telah mengabarkan kepada kami Imran bin Musa berkata; telah menceritakan kepada kami Abdul Warits dari Muhammad bin 'Amru dari Abu Al Hakam mantan budak Bani Laits dari Abu Hurairah dari Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam beliau bersabda: Tidak ada sabaq (hadiah dalam perlombaan) kecuali pada balap kuda atau unta.
