Al-Azdiyyah, viz. Mussah, said: I performed Hajj and came to Umm Salamah and said (to her): Mother of the believers, Samurah bin Jundub commands women to complete the prayers abandoned during their menstrual period. She said: They should not do so. The wives of the Prophet ﷺ would refrain (from prayer) for forty nights (i. e. days) during the course of bleeding after child birth. The Prophet ﷺ would not command them to complete the prayers abandoned during the period of bleeding. Muhammad bin Hatim said: The name of Al-Azdiyyah is Mussah and her patronymic name is Umm Busrah. Abu Dawud said: The patronymic names of Kathir bin Ziyad s Abu Sahl.

Narrated Anas ibn Malik: A man said: Messenger of Allah! we were in an abode in which our numbers and our goods were many and changed to an abode in which our numbers and our goods became few. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Leave it, for it is reprehensible.
