عَنْ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ شَيْبَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا أَنَّهَا ذُكِرَتْ نِسَاءُ الْأَنْصَارِ فَأَثْنَتْ عَلَيْهِنَّ وَقَالَتْ لَهُنَّ مَعْرُوفًا وَقَالَتْ: لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ سُورَةُ النُّورِ عَمَدْنَ إِلَى حُجَزِ أَوْ حُجُوزِ مَنَاطِقِهِنَّ فَشَقَقْنَهَا ثُمَّ اتَّخَذْنَ مِنْهَا خُمُرًا، وَإِنَّهَا دَخَلَتْ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْهُنَّ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! أَخْبِرِينِي عَنِ الطُّهْرِ مِنَ الْحَيْضِ، فَقَالَ: ((نَعَمْ، لِتَأْخُذَ إِحْدَاكُنَّ مَاءَهَا وَسِدْرَتَهَا … )) فَذَكَرَتْ نَحْوَ الْحَدِيثِ الْمُتَقَدِّمِ
It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the women of the Ansar were mentioned, she praised them and spoke well of them, and she said: When Surah An-Nur was revealed, these Ansari women turned to their waist wrappers and tore them to make veils. Sayyida also mentioned that once an Ansari woman came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! Tell me about attaining purity after menstruation. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes, a woman should take care to use water and lotus leaves, ... ... . Then a hadith similar to the previous hadith was mentioned.
