It is narrated from Sayyidah Fatimah bint Qays (may Allah be pleased with her), the sister of Sayyiduna al-Dahhak bin Qays, that she was married to a man of Banu Makhzum. Then she mentioned the lengthy hadith, at the end of which is: When her waiting period ended, Abu Jahm and Mu'awiyah bin Abi Sufyan proposed to her. She consulted the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "As for Mu'awiyah, he is very poor (su'luk) and has no wealth; and as for Abu Jahm, I fear his harshness and severity towards you." So she married Sayyiduna Usamah bin Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him). Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) has also narrated from Fatimah bint Qays.

It is narrated from Sayyidah Fatimah bint Qays (may Allah be pleased with her) that she asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about istihadah (irregular bleeding), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Stay (away from prayer) for the number of days equal to your menstrual period, then take a ritual bath (ghusl) and pray in a state of purity." Sayyidah Aishah and Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with them both) have also narrated from Fatimah bint Qays.

It is narrated from Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) that Sayyidah Fatimah bint Qays (may Allah be pleased with her) came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: I suffer from istihadah (irregular bleeding). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is not menstruation; rather, it is (bleeding from) a vein. So let her refrain (from prayer) for the number of days of her menstrual period, then take a ritual bath (ghusl), then bind a cloth as a loincloth (tastathfir) and pray."

It is narrated from the Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), that Sayyidah Fatimah bint Qays (may Allah be pleased with her) sought a ruling from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), saying: I suffer from istihadah (irregular bleeding) and do not become pure; should I abandon the prayer? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "That is merely a vein, not menstruation, and taking a ritual bath (ghusl) once (after the days of menstruation) is more complete than performing ablution." An account of al-Shifa' bint Abdullah al-Qurashiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her).
