Hamzah bin Mughirah bin Shu'bah narrates from his father: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) stayed behind from the caravan. Sayyiduna Mughirah bin Shu'bah (may Allah be pleased with him) also stayed behind with him. When the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) had relieved himself, he asked: "Do you have water?" I replied: "Yes, I do." I brought a water container to your service. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) washed both his hands and face. When he began to wash his arms, the sleeve of his cloak was tight, so he took his arm out from underneath and placed the cloak on his shoulder. Then he washed both his arms, then wiped over his socks and turban. Then he mounted (his ride), and I also mounted with him. We reached the people, and Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf had already led them in one rak'ah (unit of prayer). When he sensed the arrival of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), he began to move back. But the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Continue leading the prayer." When Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) completed the prayer, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and Sayyiduna Mughirah stood up and performed the rak'ah that they had missed earlier.

Sayyida Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: Fatimah bint Abu Hubaysh suffered from istihada (non-menstrual bleeding). The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: The blood of menstruation is black and recognizable. When it is that, then refrain from prayer, and when it is of another color, then perform ablution and start offering prayer.

A woman named Mu’adhah narrates that a woman asked Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her):“Will a menstruating woman make up the missed prayers?”Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) replied:“Are you a Haruriyyah (i.e., from the Khawarij sect)? During the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), we used to menstruate, and we neither made up the missed prayers nor were we ordered to do so.”

Lady Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: Fatima bint Abi Jash submitted: O Messenger of Allah! I do not become pure, so should I leave the prayer? Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: This is from another vein, it is not menstruation. When menstruation comes, then leave the prayer, and when its duration passes from you (i.e., the specific days of menstruation are over), then wash the blood from your body and start performing the prayer.

Lady Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: Umm Habibah bint Jahsh came to the service of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). She had been suffering from istihada (non-menstrual bleeding) for seven years. She mentioned this matter before the Prophet (peace be upon him) and asked him about the issue. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said to her: This is not menstruation, rather it is blood from another vein. Perform ghusl and offer prayer. Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates, so Umm Habibah bint Jahsh used to perform ghusl for every prayer. She would sit in a tub, and the redness of the blood would dominate the water, then she would offer prayer.

Sayyida Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: Umm Habibah bint Jahsh was the wife of Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Auf. She suffered from istihada (non-menstrual bleeding) for seven years. She asked the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) about this issue, so the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: This is not menstruation, rather it is blood from another vein. You should perform ghusl and continue to offer prayers. Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: That woman used to perform ghusl for every prayer. She would sit in a stone tub, and so did her sister Sayyida Zainab bint Jahsh (may Allah be pleased with her), until the redness of the blood would overpower the water.

Lady Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: Umm Habibah bint Jahsh suffered from istihada (non-menstrual bleeding). She was the wife of Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Auf (may Allah be pleased with him). Her sister, Lady Zainab bint Jahsh (may Allah be pleased with her), who was the honorable wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), this woman suffered from istihada for seven years. She complained about this to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This is not menstruation, it is the discharge of another vein. You should perform ghusl and continue to offer prayers. So that woman used to perform ghusl for every prayer. She would sit in her sister's tub, and the redness of the blood would dominate the water.

Lady Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: Fatimah bint Abu Hubaysh came to the service of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). She said: O Messenger of Allah! I suffer from continuous bleeding for one or two months. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: This is not menstruation, rather it is blood from some other vein. When menstruation comes, then during those specific days in which you used to have your period before, leave the prayer, and when those days pass, then perform ghusl and do wudu for every prayer.

Sayyidah Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was asked about a woman suffering from istihada (non-menstrual bleeding), so he said: She should leave the prayer during her specific days, then perform ghusl once, and then perform wudu for every prayer.

Sayyida Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said to a slave girl: Hand me the prayer mat. The intention of the Prophet (peace be upon him) was to spread it out and pray on it. I said: She is in the state of menstruation. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Her menstruation is not in her hand.
