حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، أَنَّ الْيَهُودَ كَانُوا إِذَا حَاضَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ لَمْ يُؤَاكِلُوهَا وَلَمْ يُجَامِعُوهَا فِي الْبُيُوتِ ، فَسَأَلَ أَصْحَابُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَعْنِي النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ : وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الْمَحِيضِ قُلْ هُوَ أَذًى فَاعْتَزِلُوا النِّسَاءَ فِي الْمَحِيضِ الْآيَةَ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : اصْنَعُوا كُلَّ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا النِّكَاحَ ، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ الْيَهُودَ ، فَقَالُوا : مَا يُرِيدُ هَذَا الرَّجُلُ أَنْ يَدَعَ مِنْ أَمْرِنَا شَيْئًا إِلَّا خَالَفَنَا فِيهِ .
فَجَاءَ أُسَيْدُ بْنُ حُضَيْرٍ وَعَبَّادُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ ، فَقَالَا : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، إِنَّ الْيَهُودَ قَالَتْ كَذَا وَكَذَا ، أَفَلَا نُجَامِعُهُنَّ ؟ فَتَمَعَّرَ وَجْهُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ قَدْ وَجَدَ عَلَيْهِمَا ، فَخَرَجَا فَاسْتَقْبَلَهُمَا هَدِيَّةٌ مِنْ لَبَنٍ ، فَأَرْسَلَ فِي أَثَرِهِمَا فَسَقَاهُمَا ، فَعَرَفْنَا أَنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ عَلَيْهِمَا .

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that it was the custom of the Jews that when one of their women was menstruating, they would not eat and drink with her, nor keep company with them in the houses. So the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) (may Allah be pleased with them) asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about this, and Allah Almighty revealed this verse: "They ask you about menstruation. Say: It is a harm, so keep away from women (from intercourse) during menstruation." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You may do everything except intercourse (nikah)." When this reached the Jews, they began to say: "This man wants to oppose us in every matter of ours." Meanwhile Sayyiduna Usayd bin Hudayr (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Abbad bin Bishr (may Allah be pleased with him) came to him (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), the Jews are saying such-and-such; so should we not (in complete opposition to them) have intercourse with the women (during menstruation)?" At this the colour of the blessed face of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) changed, until we thought that he (peace and blessings be upon him) had become angry with the two of them. When the two of them left, (at that moment) a gift of milk came to him (peace and blessings be upon him); he (peace and blessings be upon him) sent a man after them, called them back and gave them the milk to drink, from which we knew that he (peace and blessings be upon him) had not been angry with them.
