Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: When I menstruated, I left the bed and lay on the reed-mat and did not approach or come near the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم until we were purified.

Narrated One of the Wives of the Prophet: Ikrimah reported on the authority of one of the wives of the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم saying: When the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم wanted to do something (i. e. kissing, embracing) with (his) menstruating wife, he would put a garment on her private part.

Aishah said; The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم would ask us in the beginning of our menstruation to tie the waist-wrapper. Then he would embrace us. And who amongst you can have as much control over his desire as the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم had over his desire?

Narrated Umm Salamah, Ummul Muminin: In the time of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم there was a woman who had an issue of blood. So Umm Salamah asked the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم to give a decision about her. He said: She should consider the number of nights and days during which she used to menstruate each month before she was afflicted with this trouble and abandon prayer during that period each month. When those days and nights are over, she should take a bath, tie a cloth over her private parts and pray.

Sulaiman bin Yasar said that a man reported to him from Umm Salamah; There was a woman who had an issue of blood. And he narrated the rest of the tradition to the same effect saying; when the menstruation period is over and the time of prayer arrives, she should take a bath, as mentioned in the previous tradition.

Sulaiman bin Yasar reported on the authority of a person from the Ansar; There was a woman who had an issue of blood. He then narrated the rest of the tradition like that of al-Laith. He said; when the period of menstruation is over and the time of prayer arrives, she should take a bath. He narrated the tradition conveying the same meaning.

This tradition has been transmitted through the chain of narrators like that of al-Laith to the same effect. It says; She should abandon prayer considering that period (she used to menstruate). When the time of prayer approaches, she should take a bath, tie a cloth over her private parts and offer prayer.

Sulaiman bin Yasar reported this narrative on the authority of Umm Salamah. This version has: He (the Prophet) said: She should abandon prayer and take a bath at the beginning of the additional period, and tie a cloth over her private parts and offer prayer. Abu Dawud said; Hammad bin Zaid on the authority of Ayyub has pointed out the name of the woman who had a prolonged flow of blood (referred to) in this tradition to be Fatimah daughter of Abu Hubaish.

Aishah reported: Umm Habibah asked the prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم about the blood (which flows beyond the period of menstruation). Aishah said: I saw her wash-tub full of blood. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said; Keep away (from prayer) equal (to the length of time) that your menses prevented you. Then wash yourself. Abu Dawud said: Qutaibah mentioned the name Jaftar bin Rabiah in the middle of the text of the tradition for the second time (i. e., Qutaibah, being doubtful about the narrator Jafar bin Rabiah, mentioned his name twice: once in the chain and again while reporting the text). Ali bin Ayyash and yunus bin Muhammad reported it on the authority of al-Laith. They mentioned the name Jafar bin Rabiah.

Narrated Fatimah daughter of Abu Hubaysh: Urwah ibn az-Zubayr said that Fatimah daughter of Abu Hubaysh narrated to him that she asked the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم and complained to him about the flowing of (her) blood. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said to her: That is only (due to) a vein: look, when your menstruation comes, do not pray; and when your menstruation ends, wash yourself and then offer prayer during the period from one menstruation to another.
