Nudbah, the freed slave-woman of Sayyidah Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her), said: I went to Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both); Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) had sent me to him. I saw that there were two (separate) beds in his house. So I returned to Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) and said: I think that Ibn Abbas has cut himself off from his wife. So Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) sent a message to the wife of Ibn Abbas, the daughter of Mishrah al-Kindi, asking her, and she said: There is no estrangement between me and him; rather, I am menstruating. So Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) sent a message to Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both): Do you turn away from the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to touch any of his wives while she was menstruating, with a cloth wrapped around her up to the knee or to the middle of the thigh.
Ibn Jurayj narrated it from Ibn Shihab, from Habib the freed slave of Urwah, from Nudbah.

A freed slave-woman of Sayyidah Maymunah bint al-Harith (may Allah be pleased with her) said: Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) sent me to Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), and I saw that his bed was set apart from his wife's bed. The daughter of Mishrah was with him that day, so I asked: What is the matter with you? She said: This is what he does with me when I menstruate. She said: So I came to Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) and told her, and she sent me to him (to say): What is this that you are doing? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to touch one of us while she was menstruating, with nothing on her but her waist-wrapper reaching the middle of her thigh.

It is narrated from Nudbah, the freed slave-woman of Sayyidah Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her), the wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), that she looked and saw that his (Ibn Abbas's, may Allah be pleased with them both) bed was set apart from the bed of his wife, the daughter of Mishrah. So she returned to Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) and told her the reply to her message, then said: I saw her bed set apart from his bed, so I think there is estrangement between the two of them. Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) said to her: Go back to the daughter of Mishrah, the wife of Ibn Abbas, and ask her about that. (Nudbah said:) So I went back and asked her, and she said: There is no estrangement between us; rather, when I menstruate, he moves his bed away from my bed. So Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) sent for Abdullah (bin Abbas) (may Allah be pleased with them both), became angry with him and said: O Abdullah! Do you turn away from the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? By Allah, one of his (peace and blessings be upon him) wives would have a cloth tied around her that reached the middle of her thighs, and still he (peace and blessings be upon him) would touch her body.

Nudbah, the freed slave-woman of Sayyidah Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her), the wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), narrated that Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) sent her to Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), who was her sister's son. She said: I came to him and saw that he had set his bed apart from the bed of his wife, the daughter of Mishrah. So I asked: Where is he? Is he angry with his wife? It was said: No; rather, when she menstruates he keeps away from her. She said: So I returned to Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) and told her how I had found him. She said: Call him to me. So I called him for her, and she said: Do you dislike what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do? By Allah, "He (peace and blessings be upon him) used to touch any of his wives while she had on a waist-wrapper reaching the middle of her thighs or her knees."
