Sulaiman bin Yasar reported this narrative on the authority of Umm Salamah. This version has: He (the Prophet) said: She should abandon prayer and take a bath at the beginning of the additional period, and tie a cloth over her private parts and offer prayer. Abu Dawud said; Hammad bin Zaid on the authority of Ayyub has pointed out the name of the woman who had a prolonged flow of blood (referred to) in this tradition to be Fatimah daughter of Abu Hubaish.

278. Commentary: ➊ Hadiths 274–278 are weak in their chains of narration; however, the nature of the issue is exactly as described in them. ➋ Allamah Ahmad Shakir rahimahullah has reported that during the Prophetic era, the number of women afflicted with this condition was counted up to ten. Allamah Mundhiri has listed five names: Hamnah bint Jahsh, her sister Umm Habibah, Fatimah bint Abi Hubaysh al-Asadiyyah, Sahla bint Suhayl al-Qurashiyyah, and Umm al-Mu’minin Sawdah bint Zam‘ah radi Allahu anhunna.
