Hadith 304
304 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ: ثنا أَيُّوبُ السِّخْتِيَانِيُّ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: كَانَتْ فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ أَبِي حُبَيْشٍ تُسْتَحَاضُ فَسَأَلَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ «إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِالْحَيْضَةِ، وَلَكِنَّهُ عِرْقٌ وَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَدَعَ الصَّلَاةَ قَدْرَ أَقْرَائِهَا أَوْ قَدْرَ حَيْضَتِهَا ثُمَّ تَغْتَسِلُ، فَإِنْ غَلَبَهَا الدَّمُ اسْتَدْفَرَتْ بِثَوْبٍ وَصَلَّتْ»
Mother of the Believers, Lady Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: Fatimah bint Abi Hubaysh suffered from continuous bleeding (istihada), so I asked the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) about this issue. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is not menstruation; rather, it is discharge from another vein." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed that woman to refrain from prayer during her specific days of menstruation, then perform ghusl (ritual bath), and then, if the blood continues to prevail, she should tie a cloth firmly and perform the prayer.
