Sayyiduna Abu Ja'far narrated that he and his father (Sayyiduna Zain al-Abidin) were with Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him), and some other people were also sitting there. Those people asked him about ghusl (ritual bath), so he said that one sa’ (a measure) is sufficient. Upon this, a person said, "This would not be enough for me." Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "It was sufficient for those who had more hair than you and who were better than you (i.e., the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him)." Then Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) led us in prayer wearing only one garment.

Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that an (Ansari) woman asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) how she should perform the ritual bath after menstruation. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Take a cloth scented with musk and purify yourself with it. She asked: How should I purify myself with it? He replied: Purify yourself with it. She asked again: How? He said: Glory be to Allah! Purify yourself. Then I pulled her towards myself and said: Wipe the places stained with blood with it.

Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that Fatimah bint Abu Hubaysh came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "I am a woman who suffers from Istihada (non-menstrual bleeding), so I do not remain pure. Should I stop praying?" He said, "No, that is only a vein (bleeding), not menstruation. So when your menstruation comes, leave the prayer, and when those days pass, wash the blood from your body and clothes, then pray. Then perform ablution for every prayer until the (menstruation) time returns."

Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) (who is the purified wife of the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him) narrates that Umm Habibah suffered from continuous bleeding for seven years. She asked the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) about this, so he instructed her to perform ghusl (ritual bath) and said that this is due to a vein (illness). Thus, Umm Habibah used to perform ghusl for every prayer.

A woman asked Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) whether the prayers missed during the period of menstruation are sufficient for us to make up only for the days when we are pure. Upon this, Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said, "Are you a Haruriyyah (i.e., from the Khawarij)?" In the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), we used to menstruate and he did not command us to make up the prayers, or Sayyida Aisha said, "We did not pray (during menstruation)."

Sayyida Umm Hani bint Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that on the occasion of the conquest of Makkah, I came to the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). I saw that he was performing ghusl (ritual bath) and his daughter Fatimah was holding a curtain. I greeted the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with salam. He asked, "Who is it?" I replied, "Umm Hani bint Abi Talib." He said, "Welcome, Umm Hani!" Then, when he finished bathing, he stood up and performed eight rak‘ahs of prayer, wrapping himself in a single garment. When he had finished the prayer, I said, "O Messenger of Allah, my mother's son (our master Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, son of Abi Talib) claims that he will certainly kill a certain man, even though I have granted him protection. He is the son of so-and-so of (my husband) Hubayrah." The Noble Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Umm Hani, the one to whom you have granted protection, we have also granted him protection." Umm Hani said that this was the Duha (forenoon) prayer.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The Children of Israel used to bathe naked, looking at one another, but Musa (peace be upon him) used to bathe alone (in privacy). Upon this, they said, "By Allah, nothing prevents Musa from bathing with us except that his testicles are swollen." Once, Musa (peace be upon him) went to bathe and placed his clothes on a stone. Suddenly, the stone ran away with his clothes, and Musa (peace be upon him) chased after it swiftly, saying, "O stone, give me my clothes! O stone, give me my clothes!" During this time, the Children of Israel saw Musa (peace be upon him) naked and said, "By Allah, Musa has no illness." Musa (peace be upon him) then took his clothes and began striking the stone. Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "By Allah, there are still six or seven marks left on that stone from his strikes."

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah Ansari رضي الله عنه narrates that the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم (before prophethood) was carrying stones with the Quraysh for the construction of the Ka'bah. At that time, he was wearing an izar (waist cloth). His uncle, Sayyiduna Abbas, said, "Nephew, why don't you untie your izar and place it on your shoulder under the stone (so that it becomes easier for you)?" Sayyiduna Jabir said that he untied his izar and placed it on his shoulder. Immediately, he fainted and fell down. After that, he was never seen naked again.

Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) called an Ansari man. He came while water was dripping from his head. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Perhaps we made you hurry." He replied, "Yes." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "When something urgent happens or you do not ejaculate, then ablution is obligatory upon you."

Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) asked, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), when a man has intercourse with a woman but does not ejaculate, what should he do?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, "He should wash whatever has touched him from the woman, then perform ablution and offer prayer."
