Musnad Ahmad

Badiyah says that once Hazrat Maymunah sent me to the wife of Hazrat Abdullah bin Abbas, with whom she had a close relationship. I saw that her bed was separate from the bed of Hazrat Ibn Abbas. I thought that perhaps there was some discord between them, so I asked her about it. She told me that there was nothing of the sort, but rather, I am in my menstrual period, and when that happens, he does not come near my bed. I came to Hazrat Maymunah and told her this as well. She sent me to Hazrat Ibn Abbas and said, "Are you turning away from the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace be upon him)? The Prophet (peace be upon him) used to sleep with his wives even if they were in their menstrual period, and there would be nothing between them except the cloth that was above the knees."
