Chapter 6 · Menstrual Periodsالطِّيبِ لِلْمَرْأَةِ عِنْدَ غُسْلِهَا مِنَ الْمَحِيضِ
Perfume for a woman when she takes the ritual bath (ghusl) after menstruation
كُنَّا نُنْهَى أَنْ نُحِدَّ عَلَى مَيِّتٍ فَوْقَ ثَلاَثٍ، إِلاَّ عَلَى زَوْجٍ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرًا، وَلاَ نَكْتَحِلَ وَلاَ نَتَطَيَّبَ وَلاَ نَلْبَسَ ثَوْبًا مَصْبُوغًا إِلاَّ ثَوْبَ عَصْبٍ، وَقَدْ رُخِّصَ لَنَا عِنْدَ الطُّهْرِ إِذَا اغْتَسَلَتْ إِحْدَانَا مِنْ مَحِيضِهَا فِي نُبْذَةٍ مِنْ كُسْتِ أَظْفَارٍ، وَكُنَّا نُنْهَى عَنِ اتِّبَاعِ الْجَنَائِزِ.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ حَفْصَةَ ـ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَوْ هِشَامِ بْنِ حَسَّانَ عَنْ حَفْصَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ ـ قَالَتْ
Translation
Umm Atiyyah reported: We were forbidden to mourn for a deceased person for more than three (days), except for a husband, four months and ten (days); and to apply kohl, to wear perfume or to wear a dyed garment, except a garment of 'asb. And at the time of purification, when one of us took the ritual bath (ghusl) after her menses, we were permitted (to use) a little kust azfar. And we were forbidden to follow funeral processions.
Translator’s note: 'Asb: a Yemeni cloth whose yarn is dyed before weaving. Kust azfar: a fragrant incense used against the smell of blood.

Umm Atiyya berichtete: Es wurde uns verboten, um einen Verstorbenen länger als drei (Tage) zu trauern, außer um einen Ehemann vier Monate und zehn (Tage), und uns mit Kohl zu schminken, uns zu parfümieren und ein gefärbtes Gewand zu tragen, außer einem Gewand aus Asb. Und es wurde uns erlaubt, bei der Reinigung, wenn eine von uns die Ganzkörperwaschung nach ihrer Menstruation vollzog, ein wenig Kust Azfar (zu verwenden). Und es wurde uns verboten, Leichenzügen zu folgen.
Translator’s note: Asb: ein jemenitischer Stoff, dessen Garn vor dem Weben gefärbt wird. Kust Azfar: ein wohlriechendes Räucherwerk, das gegen den Blutgeruch verwendet wurde.
Türkçe
Ümmü Atiyye (r.a.) şöyle rivayet etti: Bir ölü için üç (gün)den fazla yas tutmamız yasaklanırdı; ancak koca için dört ay on (gün) yas tutulurdu. Sürme çekmemiz, güzel koku sürünmemiz ve boyalı elbise giymemiz de yasaklanırdı; ancak asb elbise müstesnaydı. Temizlenme zamanında, birimiz hayızdan gusül ettiğinde, biraz kust-ı ezfâr (kullanmamıza) izin verildi. Cenazelerin arkasından gitmemiz de yasaklanırdı.
Translator’s note: Asb: ipliği dokunmadan önce boyanan bir Yemen kumaşı. Kust-ı ezfâr: kan kokusunu gidermek için kullanılan güzel kokulu bir tütsü.
