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.

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.

The narrator Bukair did not mention of Abdur-Rahman; and about perfume he said that even it might be of the kind used by women.

Abdullah bin Amr al-As reported the Prophet ﷺ as saying: Whoever washed himself on Friday and applies perfume of his wife if she has one, and wears good clothes and does not step over the necks of the people (in the mosque to sit in the front row) and does not indulge in idle talk during the sermon, that will atone (for his sins) between the two Fridays.

Ibn Shihab said: Umar bin Abdul Aziz was sitting on the pulpit and he somewhat postponed the afternoon prayer. Urwah bin al-Zubair said to him: "Gabriel informed Muhammed ﷺ of the time of prayer". So Umar said to him: "Be sure of what you are saying". Urwah then replied: "I heard Bashir bin Abu Masud say that he heard Abu Masud al-Ansari say that he heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺsay: 'Gabriel came down and informed me of the time of prayer, and I prayed along with him, then prayed along with him, then I prayed along with him, then I prayed along with him, then I prayed along with him, reckoning with his fingers five times of the prayer. ' I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ offering the Duhr prayer when the sun had passed the meridian. Sometimes he would delay it when it was sever heat ; and I witnessed that he prayer the Asr prayer when the sun was high and bright before the yellowness had overcome it; then a man could go off after the prayer and reach Dhu'l-Hulaifah before the sunset, and he would pray Maghrib when the sun had set ; and he would pray the 'Isha prayer when darkness prevailed over the horizon; sometime he would delay it until the people assembled; and once he prayer the fair prayer in the darkness of dawn and at another time he prayed it when it became fairly light; but later on he continued to pray in the darkness of dawn until his death; he never prayed it again in the light of the dawn. " Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been transmitted from al-Zuhri by Mamar, Malik, Ibn Uyainah, Shuaib bin Abi Hamzah, and al-Laith bin Saad and others; but they did not mention the time in which he (the Prophet) had prayer, nor did they explain it. And similarly it has been narrated by Hisham bin Urwah and Habib bin Abu Mazruq from Urwah like the report of Mamar and his companions. But Habib did not make a mention of Bashir. And Wahb bin Kaisan reported on the authority of Jabir from the Prophet ﷺ the time of the Maghrib prayer. He said: "Next day he (Gabriel) came to him at the time of the Maghrib prayer when the sun had already set. (He came both days) at the same time.

" Similarly, this tradition has been narrated through a different chain by Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As, through a chain from Hassan bin Atiyyah, from Amr bin Shuaib, from his father, on the authority from the Prophet ﷺ.

Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: when you hear the muadhdhin repeat what he says, invoke a blessing on me, for everyone who invoke one blessing on me will receive ten blessings from Allah. Then ask Allah to give me the wasilah, which is a rank in paradise fitting for only one of Allah’s servants, and I hope that I may be the one. If anyone asks Allah that I be given the wasilah, he will be assured of my intercession.

The rule of action continued to the same effect.
