Ibn 'Abbas (RA) reported that the people used to return through every path, whereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: None amongst you should depart until he performs the last circumambulation round the House. Zuhair said (the words are): [ARABIC: YANSARIFUWN KULLA WAJH] and the word [arabic: FIY] was not mentioned.

Ibn Abbas (RA) reported: The people were commanded (by the Holy Prophet) to perform the last circumambulation round the House, but menstruating women were exempted.

Tawus reported: I was in the company of Ibn Abbas (RA) when Zaid bin Thabit said: Do you give religious verdict that the woman who is in menses is allowed to go without performing the last circumambulation of the House? Ibn 'Abbas (RA) said to him: Ask such and such woman of the Ansar, if you do not (believe my religious verdict) whether Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) had commanded her this. Zaid b Thabit (went to that lady and after getting this verdict attested by her) came back to Ibn Abbas (RA) smilingly and said: I did not find you but telling the truth.

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: Safiyyah bint Huyayy entered the period of menses after performing Tawaf Ifada. I made a mention of her menses to Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) , whereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) remarked: Well, then she will detain us. I said: Messenger of Allah. she has performed Tawif Ifada and circumambulated the House, and it was after this that she entered the period of menses. Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: (If it is so), then proceed forth.

This hadith is narrated (from 'A'isha) on the authority of Ibn Shihab with the same chain of transmitters (and the words are): Safiyyah bint Huyayy, the wife of Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) , entered the period of menses at the occasion of the Farewell Pilgrimage after she had performed Tawaf Ifada in the state of cleanliness; the rest of the hadith is the same.

Abdul Rahman bin al Qasim narrated on the authority of 'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) that she made a mention to Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) that Safiyyah had entered the period of menses. The rest of the hadith is the same.

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: We feared that Safiyyah might have entered the period of menses before performing Tawaf Ifada. Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) came to us and said: Is Safiyyah going to detain us? Thereupon we said: She has performed Tawaf Ifada. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Then there is no detention (for us) now.

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) said to the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ): Messenger of Allah, Safiyyah bint Huyayy has entered the state of menses, whereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Perhaps she is going to detain us. Has she not clicumambulated the House along with you (i. e. whether she has not performed Tawaf Ifada)? They said: Yes. He said: Then they should set out.

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) inclined to do with Safiyyah what a man feels inclined to do with his wife. They said: Messenger of Allah, she has entered the state of menses, whereupon he said: (Well) she is going to detain us. They (his wives) said: Messenger of Allah, she performed Tawaf Ziyara (Tawaf Ifada) on the Day of Nahr. Thereupon he said: Then she should proceed along with you.

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: When Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) decided to march (for return journey), he found Safiyyah at the door of her tent, sad and downcast. He remarked. Barren, shaven-head, you are going to detain us, and then said: Did you perform Tawaf Ifada on the Day of Nahr? She replied in the affirmative, whereupon he said: Then march on.
