Hadith 972
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَتْ: اسْتُحِيضَتْ أُمُّ حَبِيبَةَ بِنْتُ جَحْشٍ وَهِيَ تَحْتَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ فَشَكَتْ ذَلِكَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((إِنَّ هَٰذِهِ لَيْسَتْ بِالْحَيْضَةِ، وَإِنَّمَا هُوَ عِرْقٌ، فَإِذَا أَقْبَلَتِ الْحَيْضَةُ فَدَعِي الصَّلَاةَ وَإِذَا أَدْبَرَتْ فَاغْتَسِلِي ثُمَّ صَلِّي)) قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: فَكَانَتْ تَغْتَسِلُ لِكُلِّ صَلَاةٍ ثُمَّ تُصَلِّي، وَكَانَتْ تَقْعُدُ فِي مِرْكَنٍ لِأُخْتِهَا زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ حَتَّى إِنَّ حُمْرَةَ الدَّمِ لَتَعْلُو الْمَاءَ
It is narrated from the wife of the Messenger, Sayyida Aisha (RA), that Sayyida Umm Habiba (RA), who was the wife of Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Auf (RA), had been experiencing istihada (non-menstrual bleeding) for seven years. When she complained about this to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he said: "This is not menstrual blood; it is an issue of a vein. When menstruation comes, then leave the prayer, and when it ends, perform ghusl and then offer the prayer." Sayyida Aisha (RA) says: This lady used to perform ghusl for every prayer and would sit in the tub of her sister, Sayyida Zainab bint Jahsh (RA), to the extent that the redness of the blood would rise over the water.
Hadith 973
(وَعَنْهَا مِنْ طَرِيقٍ آخَرَ) إِنَّهَا قَالَتْ: اسْتَفْتَتْ أُمُّ حَبِيبَةَ بِنْتُ جَحْشٍ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَتْ: إِنِّي أُسْتَحَاضُ، قَالَ: ((إِنَّمَا ذَاكَ عِرْقٌ فَاغْتَسِلِي ثُمَّ صَلِّي)) فَكَانَتْ تَغْتَسِلُ عِنْدَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ، قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ: لَمْ يَأْمُرْهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ تَغْتَسِلَ عِنْدَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ، إِنَّمَا فَعَلَتْهُ هِيَ
(Second chain) She says: Sayyida Umm Habibah bint Jahsh (may Allah be pleased with her) asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for a legal ruling and said: I experience the blood of istihada (non-menstrual bleeding). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This is an issue of a vein, so perform ghusl and pray. So this woman used to perform ghusl for every prayer. Ibn Shihab said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not command her to perform ghusl for every prayer; she did this herself.
