Umm al-Mu’minin Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: When Sayyida Asma bint Umais (may Allah be pleased with her) was in postnatal bleeding (nifas) at Shajara after the birth of Muhammad bin Abi Bakr, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) to “(tell her to) perform ghusl and enter into ihram.”
