Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Sahihah

Lady Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her) says: We asked Lady Umm ‘Atiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her): Did you hear this from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? She said: Yes, may my father be sacrificed for you, O Messenger of Allah. I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "Bring out the young women and those who observe seclusion, they should participate in the Eid and in the supplications of the Muslims, and the menstruating women should stay away from the prayer place of the Muslims and sit aside."
