حَدَّثَنَا
عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا
سَلَّامُ بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ ، عَنْ
إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مُهَاجِرٍ ، عَنْ
صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ شَيْبَةَ ، عَنْ
عَائِشَةَ ، قَالَتْ : دَخَلَتْ أَسْمَاءُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَتْ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، كَيْفَ تَغْتَسِلُ إِحْدَانَا إِذَا طَهُرَتْ مِنَ الْمَحِيضِ ؟ قَالَ : " تَأْخُذُ سِدْرَهَا وَمَاءَهَا فَتَوَضَّأُ ، ثُمَّ تَغْسِلُ رَأْسَهَا وَتَدْلُكُهُ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ الْمَاءُ أُصُولَ شَعْرِهَا ، ثُمَّ تُفِيضُ عَلَى جَسَدِهَا ، ثُمَّ تَأْخُذُ فِرْصَتَهَا فَتَطَّهَّرُ بِهَا " ، قَالَتْ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، كَيْفَ أَتَطَهَّرُ بِهَا ؟ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ : فَعَرَفْتُ الَّذِي يَكْنِي عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقُلْتُ لَهَا : تَتَبَّعِينَ بِهَا آثَارَ الدَّمِ .
Aishah reported: Asma entered upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: Messenger of Allah, how should one of us take bath when she is purified from her menses ? He said: She should take water mixed with the leaves of lote-tree; then should perform ablution and wash her head and rub it so much so that water reaches the roots of the hair; she should then our water upon her body. Then she should take a piece of cloth (or cotton or wool) and purify with it. She asked: Messenger of Allah, how should I purify with it ? Aishah said: I understood what he (the Prophet) said metaphorically. I, therefore, said to her: Remove the marks of blood.
