Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said that when any of us wives was menstruating, and in that state the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) intended intimacy, he would order her to tie a waist-wrapper (lower garment), despite the heaviness of menstruation, and then he would embrace her body to body. (Lady Aisha) said: Who among you can control his desire as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did? (That is, whoever cannot control his desire should also refrain from intimacy.)

Umm al-Mu'mineen Sayyidah Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that when the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) wished to have intercourse with any of his wives and she was menstruating, she would first tie a waist-wrapper at his command.

Sayyida Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated: I was lying with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) under a single sheet when I got my period. I quietly slipped away and changed my menstrual clothes. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked, "Have you got your period?" I replied, "Yes." Then he called me, and I lay with him under the sheet.

Sayyida Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) said that I and the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed ghusl for janabah from the same vessel.

The purified wife of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), narrated that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would extend his blessed head towards me into the room from the mosque (while in the state of i'tikaf), and I would comb his hair. When the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was in i'tikaf, he would not enter the house except for a need.

Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated that I would be menstruating and yet the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) would embrace me with his body, and he would be in i'tikaf and I would be menstruating, even then he would extend his (blessed) head out (of the mosque) and I would wash it.

Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would rest his head in my lap and recite the Noble Qur'an, even though I would be menstruating at that time.

Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I was a man who suffered from the flow of madhi (pre-seminal fluid), but I felt shy to ask the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about it. So I instructed Miqdad bin Al-Aswad, and he asked him (the Prophet, peace be upon him) on my behalf. He (the Prophet) said: "Ablution (wudu) is obligatory because of it."

Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was in a state of major ritual impurity (janabah) and intended to sleep, he would wash his private parts and perform ablution as he did for prayer.

Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) narrates that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), "Can any of us sleep while in a state of major ritual impurity (janabah)?" He replied, "Yes, you can sleep in a state of janabah after performing ablution (wudu)."
