Sunan Ibn Mājah 2087
لاَ تُحِدُّ عَلَى مَيِّتٍ فَوْقَ ثَلاَثٍ إِلاَّ الْمَرْأَةُ تُحِدُّ عَلَى زَوْجِهَا أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرًا وَلاَ تَلْبَسُ ثَوْبًا مَصْبُوغًا إِلاَّ ثَوْبَ عَصْبٍ وَلاَ تَكْتَحِلُ وَلاَ تَطَيَّبُ إِلاَّ عِنْدَ أَدْنَى طُهْرِهَا بِنُبْذَةٍ مِنْ قُسْطٍ وَأَظْفَارٍ
lā tuḥiddu ʿalā mayyitin fawqa thalāthin illā al-marʾah tuḥiddu ʿalā zawjihā arbaʿaha ashhurin waʿashran walā talbasu thawban maṣbūghan illā thawba ʿaṣbin walā taktaḥilu walā taṭayyabu illā ʿinda adnā ṭuhrihā binubdhatin min qusṭin wa-aẓfārin

The full narration
It was narrated from Umm 'Atiyyah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:'No deceased person should be mourned for more than three days, except a woman should mourn for her husband for four months and ten days, and she should not wear dyed clothes, except for a garment of 'Asb, and she should not wear kohl or perfume, except at the beginning of her purity, when she may apply a little Qust and Azfar.’”
