Ibn Qurayza Sadafi says: I asked Sayyida Aisha (RA): When you were menstruating, would the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) lie down with you? She said: Yes, but when I would fasten the waist-wrapper tightly around myself, and at that time our bedding was just one. When Allah Almighty gave us another bedding, then in that state I would separate myself from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).

Jamee’ bin Umair Ta’imi says: I went to Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) with my paternal and maternal aunts, and I asked: When any of you was menstruating, what would she do for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? She said: When any of us was in that state, she would tie a loose lower garment and would cling to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) with her hands and chest.

It is narrated from Sayyida Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: I became menstruating at a time when I and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) were under one cloth. So I slipped away, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Have you become menstruating?" I said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah! I have been afflicted with that which women are afflicted with." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is something that has been written upon the daughters of Adam." In any case, I went away, arranged myself, tied a cloth around myself, and then came and lay down with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) under the blanket.

It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: I was on the bed with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) when I began menstruating, so I moved away from there. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: Have you started menstruating? I said: Yes. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Fasten your lower garment tightly around yourself and then come back.

Budiya says: The wife of the Messenger, Sayyida Maymunah bint Harith (may Allah be pleased with her), sent me to the wife of Sayyiduna Abdullah ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him); there was a family relation between the two. I saw that her bed was separate and apart from the bed of Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him). I thought that this must be due to some displeasure, but when I asked her, she said: There is no displeasure; the matter is that I am menstruating, and when my menstruation begins, he does not come near me. So I went to Sayyida Maymunah and informed her of this situation. She sent me back to Sayyiduna Abdullah ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) and sent this message to him: Are you turning away from the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to sleep with his menstruating wives, and there would be only a cloth between them, which did not even reach the knees.
