حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ فَارِسٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ ، حَدَّثَتْنَا أُمُّ يُونُسَ بِنْتُ شَدَّادٍ ، قَالَتْ : حَدَّثَتْنِي حَمَاتِي أُمُّ جَحْدَرٍ الْعَامِرِيَّةُ ، أَنَّهَا سَأَلَتْ عَائِشَةَ عَنْ دَمِ الْحَيْضِ يُصِيبُ الثَّوْبَ ، فَقَالَتْ : " كُنْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَعَلَيْنَا شِعَارُنَا وَقَدْ أَلْقَيْنَا فَوْقَهُ كِسَاءً ، فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَخَذَ الْكِسَاءَ فَلَبِسَهُ ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَصَلَّى الْغَدَاةَ ثُمَّ جَلَسَ ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، هَذِهِ لُمْعَةٌ مِنْ دَمٍ ، فَقَبَضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى مَا يَلِيهَا فَبَعَثَ بِهَا إِلَيَّ مَصْرُورَةً فِي يَدِ الْغُلَامِ ، فَقَالَ : اغْسِلِي هَذِهِ وَأَجِفِّيهَا ثُمَّ أَرْسِلِي بِهَا إِلَيَّ ، فَدَعَوْتُ بِقَصْعَتِي فَغَسَلْتُهَا ثُمَّ أَجْفَفْتُهَا فَأَحَرْتُهَا إِلَيْهِ ، فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِنِصْفِ النَّهَارِ وَهِيَ عَلَيْهِ " .
Umm Jahdar al-Amiriyyah said that she asked Aishah about the blood of menses which drops on the clothe. She replied: I was (lying) with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and we had our garment over us, and we had put a blanket over it. When the day broke, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ took the blanket, wore it and went out and offered the dawn prayer. He then sat (in the mosque among the people). A man said: Messenger of Allah, this is a spot of blood. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ caught hold of it from around and sent it to me folded in the hand of a slave and said: Wash it and dry it and then send it to me. I sent for my vessel and washed it. I then dried it and returned it to him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came at noon while he had the blanket over him.

388. Commentary:
This narration is also weak in its chain of transmission, but its meaning is correct. That is, if a person performs prayer in impure (najis) clothing out of ignorance, it is excused, and there is no need to repeat the prayer. As is mentioned in another hadith, the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) removed his shoes during prayer and placed them to his left. The noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum) also did the same in following him. After the prayer, the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) asked them, "Why did you remove your shoes?" They replied, "We saw you do so, so we did the same." The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, "Jibril (alayhis salam) informed me that there was impurity (najasah) in them." [صحيح أبوداود، حديث : 605]
It is thus understood that prayer is not valid with impure clothing or shoes, but if it was performed unknowingly, it is valid and there is no need to repeat it!
