Aishah said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me; Get me the mat from the mosque. I said ; I am menstruating. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then replied: Your menstruation is not in your hand.

Muadhah reported: A woman asked Aishah: should a menstruating woman complete the prayer abandoned during the period of menses? Aishah said: Are you a Haruriyyah? During menstruation in the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ we would not complete (the abandoned prayers), nor were we commanded to complete them.

This tradition has also been narrated through a different chain of the authority of Muadhah al-‘Adawiyyah from Aishah. This version adds; we were commanded to complete the (abandoned) fast, but were not commanded to complete the (abandoned) prayer.

Aishah said; When anyone amongst us (the wives of the Prophet) menstruated, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked her to tie a waist wrapper (over her body) and then husband lay with her, or he (Shubah) said: embraced her.

Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: Khallas al-Hujari reported: Aishah said: I and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to pass night in one (piece of) cloth (on me) while I menstruated profusely. If anything from me (i. e. blood) smeared him (i. e. his body), he would wash that spot and would not exceed it (in washing), then he would offer prayer with it.

Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: Umarah ibn Ghurab said that his paternal aunt narrated to him that she asked Aishah: What if one of us menstruates and she and her husband have no bed except one? She replied: I relate to you what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had done. One night he entered (upon me) while I was menstruating. He went to the place of his prayer, that is, to the place of prayer reserved (for this purpose) in his house. He did not return until I felt asleep heavily, and he felt pain from cold. And he said: Come near me. I said: I am menstruating. He said: Uncover your thighs. I, therefore, uncovered both of my thighs. Then he put his cheek and chest on my thighs and I lent upon he until he became warm and slept.

Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: When I menstruated, I left the bed and lay on the reed-mat and did not approach or come near the Messenger of Allah ﷺ until we were purified.

Aishah said; The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would ask us in the beginning of our menstruation to tie the waist-wrapper. Then he would embrace us. And who amongst you can have as much control over his desire as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had over his desire?

Aishah reported: Umm Habibah asked the prophet ﷺ about the blood (which flows beyond the period of menstruation). Aishah said: I saw her wash-tub full of blood. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said; Keep away (from prayer) equal (to the length of time) that your menses prevented you. Then wash yourself. Abu Dawud said: Qutaibah mentioned the name Jaftar bin Rabiah in the middle of the text of the tradition for the second time (i. e., Qutaibah, being doubtful about the narrator Jafar bin Rabiah, mentioned his name twice: once in the chain and again while reporting the text). Ali bin Ayyash and yunus bin Muhammad reported it on the authority of al-Laith. They mentioned the name Jafar bin Rabiah.

Urwah reported on the authority of Aishah: Fatimah daughter of Abu Hubaish came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: I am a woman who has prolonged flow of blood; I am never purified ; should I abandon prayer ? He replied: This is (due to) a vein, and not menstruation. When the menstruation begins, you should abandon prayer ; when it is finished, you should wash away the blood and pray.

Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: Bahiyyah said: I heard a woman asking Aishah about the woman whose menses became abnormal and she had an issue of blood. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked me to advise her that she should consider the period during which she used to menstruate every month, when her menstruation was normal. Then she should count the days equal to the length of time (of her normal menses); then she should abandon prayer during those days or equal to that period. She should then take a bath, tie a cloth on her private parts a pray.

Aishah said: Umm Habibah, daughter of Jahsh and sister-in-law of Messenger of Allah ﷺm and wife of Abdur-Rahman bin Awf, had a prolonged flow of blood for seven years. She inquired from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: This is not menstruation, but this (due to) a vein. Therefore, wash yourself and pray. Abu Dawud said: In this tradition which is transmitted by al-Zuhri from Urwah and Urwah on the authority of Aishah, al-Awzai added: She (Aishah) said: Umm Habibah daughter of Jahsh and wife of Abdur-Rahman bin Awf had a prolonged flow of blood for seven years. The Prophet ﷺ commander her saying: When the menstruation begins, abandon prayer; when it is finished, take a bath and pray. Abu Dawud said: None of the disciple of al-Zuhri mentioned these words except al-Awzai, from al-Zuhri it has been narrated by Amr bin al-Harith, al-Laith, Yunus, Ibn Abi Dhi'b, Mamar, Ibrahim bin Saad, Sulaiman bin Kathir, Ibn Ishaq and Sufyan bin Uyainah, they did not narrate these words. Abu Dawud said: These are the words of the version reported by Hisham bin Urwah from this father on the authority of Aishah. Abu Dawud said: In this tradition Ibn Uyainah also added the words: He commander her to abandon prayer during her menstrual period. This is a misunderstanding on the part of Ibn Uyainah. The version of this tradition narrated by Muhammad bin Amr from al-Zuhri has the addition similar to that made by al-Awzai in his version.

Narrated Fatimah daughter of Abu Hubaysh: Urwah ibn az-Zubayr reported from Fatimah daughter of Abu Hubaysh that her blood kept flowing, so the Prophet ﷺ said to her: When the blood of the menses comes, it is black blood which can be recognised; so when that comes, refrain from prayer; but when a different type of blood comes, perform ablution and pray, for it is (due only to) a vein. Abu Dawud said: Ibn al-Muthanna narrates this tradition from his book on the authority of Ibn Adi in a similar way. Later on he transmitted it to us from his memory: Muhammad bin Amr reported to us from al-Zuhri from Urwah on the authority of Aishah who said: Fatimah used to have her blood flowing. He then reported the tradition conveying the same meaning. Abu Dawud said: Anas bin Sirin reported from Ibn Abbas about the woman who has a prolonged flow of blood. He said: If she sees thick blood, she should not pray; if she finds herself purified even for a moment, she should was an pray. Makhul said: Menses are not hidden from women. Their blood is black and thick. When it (blackness and thickness) goes away and there appears yellowness and liquidness, that is the flow of blood (from vein). She should wash and pray. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been transmitted by Saeed bin al-Musayyab through a different chain of narrators, saying: The woman who has a prolonged flow of blood should abandon prayer when the menstruation begins; when it is finished, she should wash and pray. Sumayy and others have also reported it from Saeed bin al-Musayyab. This version adds: She should refrain (from prayer) during her menstrual period. Hammad bin Salamah has reported it similarly from Yahya bin Saeed on the authority of Saeed bin al-Musayyab. Abu Dawud said: Yunus has reported from Al-Hasan: When the bleeding of a menstruating woman extends (beyond the normal period), she should refrain (from prayer), after her menses are over, for one or two days. Now she becomes the woman who has a prolonged flow of blood. Al-Taimi reported from Qatadah: If her menstrual period is prolonged by five days, she should pray. Al-Taimi said: I kept on reducing (the number of days) until I reached two days. He said: If the period extends by two days, they will be counted from the menstrual period. When Ibn Sirin was questioned about it, he said: Women have better knowledge of that.

Aishah, wife of Prophet ﷺ, said: Umm Habibah, daughter of Jahsh, sister-in-law of Messenger of Allah ﷺ and wife of Abdur-Rahman bin Awf, had a flow of blood for seven years. She asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: This is not menstruation but only vein; so you should take a bath and pray. Aishah said: She used to take bath in a wash-tub in the apartment of her sister Zainab daughter of Jahsh ; the redness of (her) blood dominated the water.

This tradition has been transmitted through a different chain of narrators. According to this version. Aishah said: She would wash herself for every prayer.

This has been narrated though a different chain of narrators by Aishah. This version has the words: "She used to take a bath for every prayer. " Abu Dawud said: Al-Qasim bin Mabrur reported from Yunus from Ibn Shihab from Amrah from Aishah from Umm Habibah daughter of Jahsh. Similarly, it was reported by Mamar from al-Zuhri from Amrah from Aishah. Mamar sometimes reported from Amrah on the authority of Umm Habibah to the same effect. Similarly, it was reported by Ibrahim bin Saad and Ibn Uyainah from al-Zuhri from Amrah from Aishah. Ibn Uyainah said in his version: He (al-Zuhri) did not say that the Prophet ﷺ commanded her to take bath. It has also been transmitted by al-Awzai in a similar way. In this version he said: Aishah said: She used to take bath for very prayer.

Aishah said: Umm Habibah had a prolonged flow of blood for seven years. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded her to take bath; so shed used to take bath for every prayer.

Aishah said: Umm Habibah had a prolonged flow of blood during the time of Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He commanded her to take bath for every prayer. The narrator then transmitted the tradition (in full). Abu Dawud said: It has also been narrated by Abu al-Walid al-Tayalisi, but I did not hear him. He reported it from Aishah through a different chain of narrators. Aishah said: Zainab daughter of Jahsh had a prolonged flow of blood. The Prophet ﷺ said to her: Take bath for every prayer. The narrator then reported the tradition (in full). Abu Dawud said: The version transmitted by Abd al-Samad from Sulaiman bin Kathir has: "Perform ablution for every prayer. " This is a misunderstanding on the part of Abd al-Samad. The correct version is the one narrated by Abu al-Walid.

Narrated Zaynab daughter of Abu Salamah: Abu Salamah said: Zaynab daughter of Abu Salamah reported to me that a woman had a copious flow of blood. She was the wife of Abdur Rahman ibn Awf. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded her to take a bath at the time of every prayer, and then to pray. He reported to me that Umm Bakr told him that Aishah said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said about a woman who was doubtful of her menstruation after purification that it was a vein or veins. Abu Dawud said: The two commands (of which the Prophet gave option) were as follows in the version reported by Ibn Aqil: He said: If you are strong enough, then take a bath for every prayer; otherwise combine the (two prayers), as al-Qasim reported in his version. This statement was also narrated by Saeed bin Jubair from Ali and Ibn Abbas.

Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: A woman had a prolonged flow of blood in the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. She was commanded to advance the afternoon prayer and delay the noon prayer, and to take a bath for them only once; and to delay the sunset prayer and advance the night prayer and to take a bath only once for them; and to take a bath separately for the dawn prayer. I (Shubah) asked Abdur Rahman: (Is it) from the Prophet ﷺ? I do not report to you anything except from the Prophet ﷺ.

Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: Sahlah daughter of Suhayl had a prolonged flow of blood. She came to the Prophet ﷺ. He commanded her to take a bath for every prayer. When it became hard for her, he commanded her to combine the noon and afternoon prayers with one bath and the sunset and night prayer with one bath, and to take a bath (separately) for the dawn prayer. Abu Dawud said: Ibn Uyainah reported from Abdur-Rahman bin al-Qasim on the authority of his father, saying: A woman had a prolonged flow of blood. She asked the Prophet ﷺ. He commanded her to the same effect.

Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: Fatimah daughter of Abu Hubaysh came to the Prophet ﷺ and narrated what happened with her. He said: Then take a bath and then perform ablution for every prayer and pray.

Aishah said about the woman who has a prolonged flow of blood: She should take bath, i. e. only once; then she should perform ablution until he next menstrual period.

This tradition has also been narrated by Aishah through a different chain of transmitters. Abu Dawud said: All the traditions (on this subject) transmitted by Adi bin Thabit and Amash on the authority of Habib and Ayyub al-'Ala, all of them are weak; none of them is sound. This tradition indicatesthe tradition reported by al-Amash a a statement of Companion, i. e. Aishah. Hafs bin Ghayath has rejected the tradition transmitted by Habib as the statement (of the Prophet). And Asbat also reported it as a statement of Aishah. Abu Dawud said: Ibn Dawud has narrated the first part of this tradition as a statement (of the Prophet), and denied that there was any mention of performing ablution for every prayer. The weakness of the tradition reported by Habib is also indicated by the fact that the version transmuted by al-Zuhri from Urwah on the authority of Aishah says that she used to wash herself for every prayer; (these words occur) in the tradition about the woman who has a flow of blood. This tradition has been reported by Abu al-Yaqzan from Adi bin Thabit from his father from Ali, and narrated by Ammar, the freed salve of Banu Hashim, from Ibn Abbas, and transmitted by Abd al-Malik bin Maisarah, Bayan, al-Mughirah, Firas, on the authority of al-Shabi, from Qumair from Aishah, stating: You should perform ablution for every prayer. The version transmitted by Dawud, and Asim from al-Shabi from Qumair from Aishah has the words: She should take bath only once every day. The version reported by Hisham bin Urwah from his father has the words: The woman having a flow of blood should perform ablution for every prayer. All these traditions are weak except the tradition reported by Qumair and the tradition reported by Ammar, the freed slave of Banu Hashim, and the tradition narrated by Hisham bin Urwah on the authority of his father. What is commonly known from Ibn Abbas is bathing (for every prayer).

Urwah bin al-Zubair said the Fatimah daughter of Abu Hubaish had a prolonged flow of blood. The Prophet ﷺ said to her: When the blood of menses comes, it is black blood with can be recognized; so when that comes, refrain from prayer, but when a different type comes, perform ablution and pray. Abu Dawud said: Ibn al-Muthanna said: Ibn Adi narrated this tradition from his memory on the authority of Urwah from Aishah. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has also been transmitted by al-'Ala bin al-Musayyab and Shubah from al-Hakam on the authority of Abu Jafar. Al-'Ala reported it as a statement of the Prophet ﷺ, and Shubah as a statement of Abu Jafar, saying: She should perform ablution for every prayer.

Aishah reported: Asma entered upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: Messenger of Allah, how should one of us take bath when she is purified from her menses ? He said: She should take water mixed with the leaves of lote-tree; then should perform ablution and wash her head and rub it so much so that water reaches the roots of the hair; she should then our water upon her body. Then she should take a piece of cloth (or cotton or wool) and purify with it. She asked: Messenger of Allah, how should I purify with it ? Aishah said: I understood what he (the Prophet) said metaphorically. I, therefore, said to her: Remove the marks of blood.

Aishah made a mention of the women of the Ansar and admired them stating that they had obliged (all Muslims). She then said: One of their women came upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. She then reported the rest of the tradition to the same effect; but this version she said the words: "a musk-scented piece of cloth. " Musaddad said: Abu 'Awanah used the word firsah (i. e. a piece of cloth), but Abu Al-Ahwas used the word qasrah (i. e. a small piece of cloth).

Aishah said: Asma asked the Prophet ﷺ and then narrated the rest of the tradition to the same effect. He (the Prophet) said: "a musk-scented piece of cloth. " She (Asma) said: How should I purify with it ? He said: By glory of Allah! Purify with it, and he covered his face with the cloth. This version also adds: "She asked about the washing because of sexual defilement. " He said: Take your water and purify yourself as best as possible. Then pour water over yourself. Aishah said: The best of the women are the women of the Ansar. Shyness would not prevent them from inquiring about religion and from acquiring deep understanding in it.

Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent Usayd ibn Hudayr and some people with him to search the necklace lost by Aishah. The time of prayer came and they prayed without ablution. When they returned to the Prophet ﷺ and related the fact to him, the verse concerning tayammum was revealed. Ibn Nufayl added: Usayd said to her: May Allah have mercy upon you! Never has there been an occasion when you were beset with an unpleasant matter but Allah made the Muslims and you come out of that.

Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: The Prophet ﷺ would take a bath because of sexual defilement on Friday, after opening a vein and after washing a dead body.

Aishah said: The people (mostly) were workers and they would come for Friday prayer in the same condition, so it was said to them: If only you were to perform Ghusl.

Muadhah said that Aishah was asked about (washing) the clothes of a menstruating woman smeared with blood. She said: She should wash it; in case mark is not removed she should change it by applying some yellow color. I had three menstruations together while I lives with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, but I did not wash my clothes.

Aishah said: Each of us (wives of the Prophet) had only one clothe in which she would menstruate. Whenever it was smeared with blood, she would moisten it with her saliva and scratch it with saliva.

Aishah said: One of us would have a shirt in which she would menstruate and in it she became sexually defiled. Then if she ever saw any drop of blood in it, she would rub it off by applying her saliva.

Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would not pray in our wrappers or in our quilts. Ubaydullah said: My father (Muadh) doubted this.

Aishah said: The Prophet ﷺ would not in our quilts. Hammad said: I heard Saeed bin Abi Sadaqah say: I asked Muhammad (b. Sirin) about it. He did not narrate it to me, but said: I heard it a long time ago and I do not know whom I heard it. I do not know whether I heard it from a trustworthy person or not. Make an inquiry about it.

Aishah said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would pray at night while I lay by his side during my menstrual period. A sheet of cloth would be partly on me and partly on him.

Hammam bin al-Harith reported, he has a sexual dream when he was staying with Aishah. The slave girl of Aishah saw him while he was washing the mark of defilement, or he was washing his clothe. She informed Aishah who said: He witnessed me rubbing off the semen from the clothe of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Abu Dawud said: Al-Amash narrated it as narrated by al-Hakam.

Aishah reported: I used to rub off the semen from the clothe of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He would would pray in it. Abu Dawud said: Mughirah, Abu Ma'shar, and Wasil also narrated it to the same effect.

Sulaiman bin Yasar reported: I heard Aishah say that she would wash semen from the clothe of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. She added: Then I would see a mark or marks (after washing).
