Once, the nephew of Hazrat Maymunah, Hazrat Ibn Abbas, came to her. She said, "Son, what is the matter that your hair appears disheveled?" He replied that the woman who combs his hair, Umm Ammar, is in her days (of menstruation). Hazrat Maymunah said, "Son, what do the days have to do with the hands? The Prophet (peace be upon him) would come to one of us, and she would be in her days, and the Prophet (peace be upon him) would place his head in her lap while she was in her days, and he would recite the Holy Qur'an. Then she would stand up and spread a mat for the Prophet (peace be upon him), and in that state, she would place it at the place where the Prophet (peace be upon him) would pray. Son, what do the days have to do with the hands?"

It is narrated from Hazrat Maymunah that the Prophet (peace be upon him) would come to one of us and she would be in her days (of menstruation), then she would stand up and spread a mat for the Prophet (peace be upon him), and in that state she would place it at the spot where the Prophet (peace be upon him) would pray.

Abu Bakr says that once I offered the funeral prayer behind Abu al-Malih. He said, "Straighten the rows and intercede for him in a good manner. If I were to like any man, I would have liked this deceased." Then he narrated from his chain the narration of Hazrat Maymunah that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "If a group offers the funeral prayer for a Muslim, their intercession is accepted for him." Abu al-Malih says that by "group" is meant forty to a hundred or even more people.

It is narrated from Hazrat Maymunah that the Prophet (peace be upon him) ate the meat of the shoulder, then stood up and began to pray without performing a fresh ablution.

It is narrated from Hazrat Khalid bin Waleed that once he entered the house of Ummul Momineen Hazrat Maymunah bint Harith, who was his maternal aunt, along with the Prophet (peace be upon him). She placed the meat of a lizard (dabb) before the Prophet (peace be upon him), which had been brought from Najd by Umm Hafeed bint Harith, who was married to a man from Banu Ja'far. The blessed habit of the Prophet (peace be upon him) was that he would not partake of anything until he had asked what it was. Accordingly, one of the wives of the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Why do you not tell the Prophet (peace be upon him) what he is eating?" Upon this, they informed him that it was the meat of a lizard. The Prophet (peace be upon him) left it. Hazrat Khalid bin Waleed says, "I asked, 'O Messenger of Allah! Is it forbidden?' The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied, 'No, but it is not the food of my people, so I prefer to be cautious about it.'" So I pulled it towards myself and began to eat it, and during this, the Prophet (peace be upon him) kept watching me.

It is narrated from Hazrat Maymunah that the Prophet (peace be upon him) married me when we had come out of the state of Ihram and had departed from Makkah Mukarramah.

It is narrated from Hazrat Maymunah that once she took a loan from someone. Someone said to her, "You are taking a loan while you have nothing to repay it with?" She replied, "I heard the Prophet (peace be upon him) say that whoever takes a loan from someone and Allah knows that he intends to repay it, then Allah enables him to repay it."

It is narrated from Hazrat Maymunah that once I freed a slave girl and the Prophet (peace be upon him) came to me, so I informed him about it. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "May Allah grant you the reward for it. If you had given her to your maternal cousins, the reward would have been greater."

It is narrated from Hazrat Maymunah that when the Prophet (peace be upon him) performed prostration, he would keep his arms so far apart from his sides that the whiteness of his blessed armpits could be seen from behind.

Badiyah says that once Hazrat Maymunah sent me to the wife of Hazrat Abdullah bin Abbas, with whom she had a close relationship. I saw that her bed was separate from the bed of Hazrat Ibn Abbas. I thought that perhaps there was some discord between them, so I asked her about it. She told me that there was nothing of the sort, but rather, I am in my menstrual period, and when that happens, he does not come near my bed. I came to Hazrat Maymunah and told her this as well. She sent me to Hazrat Ibn Abbas and said, "Are you turning away from the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace be upon him)? The Prophet (peace be upon him) used to sleep with his wives even if they were in their menstrual period, and there would be nothing between them except the cloth that was above the knees."
