Hadith 26016

حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ , قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامٌ , عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ , أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ نَزَلَتْ عَلَى أُمِّ طَلْحَةَ الطَّلْحَاتِ , فَرَأَتْ بَنَاتِهَا يُصَلِّينَ بِغَيْرِ خُمُرٍ , فَقَالَتْ : إِنِّي لَأَرَى بَنَاتِكِ قَدْ حِضْنَ أَوْ حَاضَ بَعْضُهُنَّ , قَالَتْ : أَجَلْ , قَالَتْ : فَلَا تُصَلِّيَنَّ جَارِيَةٌ مِنْهُنَّ وَقَدْ حَاضَتْ إِلَّا وَعَلَيْهَا خِمَارٌ , فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ وَعِنْدِي فَتَاةٌ , فَأَلْقَى إِلَيَّ حَقْوَهُ , فَقَالَ : " شُقِّيهِ بَيْنَ هَذِهِ وَبَيْنَ الْفَتَاةِ الَّتِي عِنْدَ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ , فَإِنِّي لَا أُرَاهُمَا إِلَّا قَدْ حَاضَتَا , أَوْ لَا أُرَاهَا إِلَّا قَدْ حَاضَتْ " .
Muhammad narrates that once Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) stayed at the house of Safiyyah Umm Talhah al-Talhat, and saw that some girls, though having reached puberty, were performing prayer without head coverings. So Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said, "No girl should pray without a head covering." Once, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to my house, and at that time there was a girl under my care. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave me a sheet and said, "Divide it into two parts and distribute it between this girl and the girl under the care of Umm Salamah, because in my opinion, both of them have reached puberty."
