قَالَ حُمَيْدٌ فَقُلْتُ لِزَيْنَبَ وَمَا تَرْمِي بِالْبَعَرَةِ عَلَى رَأْسِ الْحَوْلِ فَقَالَتْ زَيْنَبُ كَانَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ إِذَا تُوُفِّيَ عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا دَخَلَتْ حِفْشًا، وَلَبِسَتْ شَرَّ ثِيَابِهَا، وَلَمْ تَمَسَّ طِيبًا حَتَّى تَمُرَّ بِهَا سَنَةٌ، ثُمَّ تُؤْتَى بِدَابَّةٍ حِمَارٍ أَوْ شَاةٍ أَوْ طَائِرٍ فَتَفْتَضُّ بِهِ، فَقَلَّمَا تَفْتَضُّ بِشَىْءٍ إِلاَّ مَاتَ، ثُمَّ تَخْرُجُ فَتُعْطَى بَعَرَةً فَتَرْمِي، ثُمَّ تُرَاجِعُ بَعْدُ مَا شَاءَتْ مِنْ طِيبٍ أَوْ غَيْرِهِ. سُئِلَ مَالِكٌ مَا تَفْتَضُّ بِهِ قَالَ تَمْسَحُ بِهِ جِلْدَهَا.
I (Humaid) 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 likeRapporté par Humaid : J’ai demandé à Zainab : « Que signifie ‘jeter une boule de fumier après qu’un an se soit écoulé’ ? » Zainab a répondu : « Quand une femme perdait son mari, elle vivait dans une petite pièce misérable, portait ses plus mauvais vêtements et ne mettait aucun parfum jusqu’à ce qu’un an soit passé. Ensuite, elle amenait un animal, par exemple un âne, un mouton ou un oiseau, et se frottait contre lui. L’animal contre lequel elle se frottait survivait rarement. Ce n’est qu’après cela qu’elle sortait de sa chambre, on lui donnait alors une boule de fumier qu’elle jetait, puis elle pouvait utiliser le parfum qu’elle voulait ou quelque chose de similaire. »Grades given by scholars
