باب إِذَا اخْتَلَطَتْ عَلَى الْمَرْأَةِ أَيَّامُ حَيْضِهَا في أَيَّامِ اسْتِحَاضَتِهَا:Chapter: When a Woman's Menstrual and Prolonged Bleeding Days Are Confused
Hadith 946
أَخْبَرَنَا خَلِيفَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ: "بِالْأَقْرَاءِ"، قَالَ أَبُو مُحَمَّد: أَهْلُ الْحِجَازِ، يَقُولُونَ: "الْأَقْرَاءُ: الْأَطْهَارُ"، وَقَالَ أَهْلُ الْعِرَاقِ: هُوَ الْحَيْضُ، قَالَ عَبْد اللَّهِ: وَأَنَا أَقُولُ: "هُوَ الْحَيْضُ".
Imam Zuhri, may Allah have mercy on him, said: She will observe the waiting period (‘iddah) according to “qur’” (i.e., by counting menstruation or purity). Imam Darimi, may Allah have mercy on him, said: The people of Hijaz interpret “qur’” as the state of purity, and the people of Iraq interpret it as the state (and duration) of menstruation. Imam Darimi, may Allah have mercy on him, said: And in my view, it is menstruation.
