It is narrated from Sayyiduna Hudhayfah bin Yaman (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I spent a night with the family of the Messenger. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, got up at night and began to pray, while one edge of the blanket was upon him, and the other edge was upon Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), while she was menstruating and was not praying.

It is narrated from the wife of the Messenger, Sayyida Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would wake up at night and perform prayer, and I would be lying beside him. When he (peace and blessings be upon him) would go into prostration, his garment would touch me, while I was menstruating.

It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (RA) that she began menstruating at night while the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was praying. She gestured towards a piece of cloth to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and there was blood on it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) indicated during the prayer that she should wash it. So she washed the place of the blood, then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) took that cloth and began to pray in it.

It is also narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: I and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to spend the night in one garment while I was menstruating. If blood would get on the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he would wash that spot and would not go beyond the affected area, and then he would pray in it.

It is narrated from Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that a woman came to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! How should I perform ghusl (ritual bath) when attaining purity? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Take a piece of cloth, etc., on which musk has been applied, and purify yourself with it. She said: How should I purify myself with it? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Purify yourself with it. She again said: How should I purify myself with it? Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) expressed amazement and said, "Subhan Allah," and turned away from her, and then said: Purify yourself with it. Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says: I understood what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) meant, so I pulled the woman towards me and explained to her what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was trying to say to her.

(Second chain) It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that Sayyida Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) asked the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about the ritual bath (ghusl) after menstruation. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The woman should take water and leaves of the lote tree, and perform ablution, and perform ablution well, then pour water over her head and rub it well, so that the water reaches the roots of the hair, then pour water over her body, then take a piece of cloth, etc., on which musk has been applied, and purify herself with it. Sayyida Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) asked: How should she purify herself with it? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Glory be to Allah! Purify yourself with it. Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: It was as if this matter was hidden from her, that she should apply it to the traces of blood. And I asked about the ritual bath after sexual impurity (janabah), the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Take water, perform ablution, and perform ablution well, then pour water over your head and rub it well, so that the water reaches the roots of the hair, then pour water over your body. Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: The women of the Ansar are the best women; modesty does not prevent them from acquiring understanding of the religion.

It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the women of the Ansar were mentioned, she praised them and spoke well of them, and she said: When Surah An-Nur was revealed, these Ansari women turned to their waist wrappers and tore them to make veils. Sayyida also mentioned that once an Ansari woman came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! Tell me about attaining purity after menstruation. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes, a woman should take care to use water and lotus leaves, ... ... . Then a hadith similar to the previous hadith was mentioned.

It is narrated from Sayyida Fatima bint Abi Hubaysh (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: I went to Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) and said: O Mother of the Believers! I am afraid that I have no share in Islam and that I will be among the people of Hell, because since the day I have been experiencing the blood of istihada (non-menstrual bleeding), I have been in a state of stoppage and have not been offering any prayer to Allah Almighty. She said: Sit here until the arrival of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). When he (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived, she said: O Messenger of Allah! This is Sayyida Fatima bint Abu Hubaysh (may Allah be pleased with her), she is afraid that she has no share in Islam and is among the people of Hell. The reason is that since the days of istihada, she has been in a state of stoppage and is not offering prayer to Allah Almighty. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Instruct Fatima that she should refrain (from fasting and prayer) during her menstrual days each month, then after performing ghusl (ritual bath), she should place some cotton or the like on her private part, tie a cloth tightly, attain cleanliness, perform ablution for every prayer, and then offer the prayer. This is a blow from Satan, or a vein has burst, or some illness has occurred.

Sayyida Fatimah bint Abu Hubaysh (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that she came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and complained to him about bleeding. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This is an issue of a vein, so observe that when you have menstruation, do not perform prayer. When the menstruation ends, attain purification and then perform prayer from the end of this menstruation until the next menstruation.

It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (RA) that Sayyida Fatima bint Abu Hubaysh (RA) came to the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: I am afflicted with the blood of Istihada (non-menstrual bleeding). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Leave the prayer during your menstrual days, then perform ghusl (ritual bath) and, after making wudu (ablution) for every prayer, perform the prayer, even if the blood continues to drip onto the mat.
