Sahl bin Hunaif and Qais bin Sa`d were sitting in the city of Al-Qadisiya. A funeral procession passed
in front of them and they stood up. They were told that funeral procession was of one of the
inhabitants of the land i.e. of a non-believer, under the protection of Muslims. They said, "A funeral
procession passed in front of the Prophet (ﷺ) and he stood up. When he was told that it was the coffin of a
Jew, he said, "Is it not a living being (soul)?" - Hadith Al Bukhari 1312 (islam)

When the Prophet (ﷺ) got the news of the death of Ibn Haritha, Ja`far and Ibn Rawaha he sat down and
looked sad and I was looking at him through the chink of the door. A man came and told him about
the crying of the women of Ja`far. The Prophet (ﷺ) ordered him to forbid them. The man went and came
back saying that he had told them but they did not listen to him. The Prophet (p.b.u.h) said, "Forbid
them." So again he went and came back for the third time and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! By Allah, they
did not listen to us at all." (`Aisha added): Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ordered him to go and put dust in their
mouths. I said, (to that man) "May Allah stick your nose in the dust (i.e. humiliate you)! You could
neither (persuade the women to) fulfill the order of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) nor did you relieve Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
from fatigue. " - Hadith Al Bukhari 1299 (islam)

Zainab said: I visited Umm Habibah when her father AbuSufyan, died. She asked for some yellow perfume containing saffron (khaluq) or something else. Then she applied it to a girl and touched her cheeks.
She said: I have no need of perfume, but I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: It is not lawful for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to observe mourning for one who has died, more than three nights, except for four months and ten days in the case of a husband.
Zaynab said: I also visited Zaynab, daughter of Jahsh, when her brother died. She asked for some perfume and used it upon herself.
She then said: I have no need of perfume, but I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say when he was on the pulpit: It is not lawful for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to observe mourning for one who has died, more than three nights, except for four months and ten days in the case of a husband.
Zaynab said: I heard my mother, Umm Salamah, say: A woman came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and said: Messenger of Allah, the husband of my daughter has died, and she is suffering from sore eyes; may we put antimony in her eyes?
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: No. He said this twice or thrice. Each time he said: No. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: The waiting period is now four months and ten days. In pre-Islamic days one of you used to throw away a piece of dung at the end of a year.
Humayd said: I asked Zaynab: What do you mean by throwing away a piece of dung at the end of a year.
Zaynab replied: When the husband of a woman died, she entered a small cell and put on shabby clothes, not touching perfume or any other thing until a year passed. Then an animal such as donkey or sheep or bird was provided for her. She rubbed herself with it. The animal with which she rubbed herself rarely survived. She then came out and was given a piece of dung which she threw away. She then used perfume or something else which she desired.
Abu Dawud said: The Arabic word "hafsh" means a small cell.
