Mukhtasar Bukhari

Umm al-Mu’minin Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: When any of us women would be menstruating and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) wished to be intimate with her, he would instruct her to wear an izar (lower garment) during the period of menstruation (at the time of its intensity and dominance), then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would be intimate with her (but would not have intercourse). Umm al-Mu’minin Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) said: Who among you can control his desire as much as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to control his desire?
