Zainab bint Abu Salama reported that when the news of the death of Abu Safyan came to Umm Habiba she sent for yellow (perfume) on the third day and rubbed it on her forearms and on her cheeks and said: I had in fact no need of it, but I heard Allah's Messenger ﷺ as saying: It is not permissible for the women believing in Allah and the Hereafter to abstain from adornment beyond three days except (at the death of) husband (in which case she must abstain from adornment) for four months and ten days.
The values taught by this hadith are patience, respect, faithfulness, dignity and humility. These values are important for all believers regardless of gender or age because they help us stay true to our beliefs even when faced with difficult situations such as bereavement or loss. Furthermore, it teaches us that we can still find beauty even during times of sadness by finding solace in our faith and remembering that everything happens according to God's will.
