Hadith 108
أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّافِعِيُّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَرَضِيَ عَنْهَا: أَنَّ امْرَأَةً كَانَتْ تُهْرَاقُ الدَّمَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَاسْتَفْتَتْ لَهَا أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: "لِتَنْظُرْ عَدَدَ اللَّيَالِي وَالْأَيَّامِ، الَّتِي كَانَتْ تَحِيضُهُنَّ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُصِيبَهَا الَّذِي أَصَابَهَا، فَلْتَتْرُكِ الصَّلَاةَ قَدْرَ ذَلِكَ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ، فَإِذَا خَلَّفَتْ ذَلِكَ فَلْتَغْتَسِلْ، ثُمَّ لِتَسْتَثْفِرْ بِثَوْبٍ ثُمَّ لِتُصَلِّي" .
It is narrated from the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her), that during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, a woman used to experience excessive bleeding. Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about her issue, so he ﷺ said: "Estimate the number of nights and days she used to have menstruation before this illness of istihada, and leave prayers for that many days in the month. When that time passes, she should perform ghusl, then tie a cloth and perform the prayers."
Hadith 109
أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: قَالَتْ فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ أَبِي حُبَيْشٍ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: إِنِّي لَا أَطْهُرُ، أَفَأَدَعُ الصَّلَاةَ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "إِنَّمَا ذَلِكَ عِرْقٌ، وَلَيْسَ بِالْحَيْضَةِ فَإِذَا أَقْبَلَتِ الْحَيْضَةُ فَاتْرُكِي الصَّلَاةَ، فَإِذَا ذَهَبَ قَدْرُهَا فَاغْسِلِي عَنْكِ الدَّمَ وَصَلِّي" .
Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated that Fatimah bint Abi Hubaish said to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ): "I do not become pure (from bleeding), should I stop praying?" The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "This is only a vein, it is not menstruation. When the days of menstruation come, stop praying, and when those days end, clean the blood from your body and pray."
Hadith 110
أَخْبَرَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّهِ حَمْنَةَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ، قَالَتْ: كُنْتُ أُسْتَحَاضُ حَيْضَةً كَثِيرَةً شَدِيدَةً، فَجِئْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَسْتَفْتِيهِ فَوَجَدْتُهُ فِي بَيْتِ أُخْتِي زَيْنَبَ. فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّ لِي إِلَيْكَ حَاجَةً، وَإِنَّهُ لَحَدِيثٌ مَا مِنْهُ بُدٌّ، وَإِنَّهُ لَاَسْتَحْيِي مِنْهُ. قَالَ: "فَمَا هُوَ يَا هَنْتَاهْ" ؟ قَالَتْ: إِنِّي امْرَأَةٌ أُسْتَحَاضُ حَيْضَةً كَثِيرَةً شَدِيدَةً، فَمَا تَرَى فِيهَا، فَقَدْ مَنَعَتْنِي الصَّلَاةَ وَالصَّوْمَ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "إِنِّي أَنْعَتُ لَكِ الْكُرْسُفَ فَإِنَّهُ يُذْهِبُ الدَّمَ" ، قَالَتْ: هُوَ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ. قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "فَتَلَجَّمِي" . قَالَتْ: هُوَ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ. قَالَ: "فَاتَّخِذِي ثَوْبًا" . قَالَتْ: هُوَ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ، إِنَّمَا أَثُجُّ ثَجًّا. فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "سَآمُرُكِ بِأَمْرَيْنِ أَيَّهُمَا فَعَلْتِ أَجْزَأَكِ مِنَ الْآخَرِ، فَإِنْ قَوِيتِ عَلَيْهِمَا، فَأَنْتِ أَعْلَمُ" . قَالَ لَهَا: "إِنَّمَا هِيَ رَكْضَةٌ مِنْ رَكَضَاتِ الشَّيْطَانِ، فَتَحَيَّضِي سِتَّةَ أَيَّامٍ، أَوْ سَبْعَةً فِي عِلْمِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى، ثُمَّ اغْتَسِلِي حَتَّى إِذَا رَأَيْتِ أَنَّكِ قَدْ طَهُرْتِ وَاسْتَنْقَيْتِ فَصَلِّي أَرْبَعًا وَعِشْرِينَ لَيْلَةً وَأَيَّامَهَا، أَوْ ثَلَاثًا وَعِشْرِينَ لَيْلَةً وَأَيَّامَهَا، وَصُومِي، فَإِنَّهُ مُجْزِئُكِ، وَكَذَلِكَ افْعَلِي فِي كُلِّ شَهْرٍ كَمَا تَحِيضُ النِّسَاءُ، وَيَطْهُرْنَ مِيقَاتَ حَيْضِهِنَّ وَطُهْرِهِنَّ" .
Hamnah bint Jahsh narrates that I used to have excessive bleeding (istihada). I came to the Prophet ﷺ to seek a religious ruling and found him at the house of his sister Zainab. I said, “O Messenger of Allah! I have something to ask you, it is something that I must ask but I also feel shy.” The Prophet ﷺ said, “What is it?” Hamnah said, “I have a severe complaint of istihada. What do you say about it? Because of this affliction, I am unable to perform prayer and fasting.” The Prophet ﷺ said, “I suggest you use cotton, for it absorbs the blood.” She said, “It is more than that.” The Prophet ﷺ said, “Tie a cloth around yourself.” She said, “It is even more than that.” The Prophet ﷺ said, “Use a piece of cloth.” She said, “It is even more than that (i.e., it does not stop, it keeps flowing).” The Prophet ﷺ said, “I command you with two things; whichever you do is correct. And if you are able to do both, then you know best.” Then the Prophet ﷺ said, “This is one of the kicks of Satan. Relying on Allah’s knowledge, consider yourself menstruating for six or seven days, then perform ghusl (ritual bath), and when you think you have become pure (from menstruation), then pray and fast for twenty-four days and nights or twenty-three prayers, and do so every month as women do in their fixed times of menstruation and purity.”
Hadith 111
أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ مَوْلَى ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً كَانَتْ تُهْرَاقُ الدَّمَ عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَاسْتَفْتَتْ لَهَا أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: "لِتَنْظُرْ عَدَدَ اللَّيَالِي وَالْأَيَّامِ الَّتِي كَانَتْ تَحِيضُهُنَّ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُصِيبَهَا الَّذِي أَصَابَهَا، فَلْتَتْرُكِ الصَّلَاةَ قَدْرَ ذَلِكَ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ، فَإِذَا خَلَّفَتْ ذَلِكَ فَلْتَغْتَسِلْ وَتَسْتَثْفِرْ بِثَوْبٍ، ثُمَّ لِتُصَلِّي" .

Hadith 112
أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي الزُّهْرِيُّ، عَنْ عَمْرَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا: أَنَّ أُمَّ حَبِيبَةَ بِنْتَ جَحْشٍ اسْتُحِيضَتْ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ، فَسَأَلَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: "إِنَّمَا هُوَ عِرْقٌ وَلَيْسَتْ بِالْحَيْضَةِ" . وَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَغْتَسِلَ وَتُصَلِّيَ، فَكَانَتْ تَغْتَسِلُ لِكُلِّ صَلَاةٍ، وَتَجْلِسُ فِي الْمِرْكَنِ فَيَعْلُو الدَّمُ. أَخْرَجَ الْأَوَّلَ فِي كِتَابِ اخْتِلَافِ مَالِكٍ وَالشَّافِعِيِّ وَإِلَى آخِرِ الْخَامِسِ مِنْ كِتَابِ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ عَلَى غَيْرِ وُضُوءٍ.
It is narrated from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that Umm Habibah bint Jahsh (may Allah be pleased with her) suffered from istihada (non-menstrual bleeding) for seven years. She asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said: "This is a vein, not menstruation." And he instructed her to perform ghusl and pray, so she would perform ghusl for every prayer. She would sit in a tub for ghusl, and the redness of the blood would appear on the water.
