Ikrimah said: Umm Habibah had a prolonged flow of blood ; her husband used to cohabit with her. Abu Dawud said: Yahya bin Main has pronounced Mu'alla (a narrator of this tradition) as trustworthy. But Ahmad bin Hanbal would not report (traditions) from him because he exercised personal opinion.

Ikrimah reported Hamnah daughter of Jahsh as saying that her husband would have intercourse with her during the period she had a flow of blood.
