It was narrated from Umm Salamah that a woman suffered constant bleeding at the time of the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ), so Umm Salamah consulted the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) for her. He said: "Let her count the number of nights and says that she used to menstruate each month before this happened to her, and let her stop praying for that amount of time each month. Then when that is over let her perform Ghusl, then let her use a pad, and pray."

Narrated from Umm al-Mu’minin Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) that during the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), a woman used to experience excessive bleeding. Umm al-Mu’minin Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) for a ruling regarding her. He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:“She should count the days and nights of her monthly period that she used to have before this illness befell her, then every month she should leave prayer for that same number of days, and when those days have passed, she should perform ghusl, then tie a cloth (to prevent the blood), and then perform prayer.”

It was narrated from 'Aishah that Umm Habibah bint Jahsh who was married to 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Awf suffered from Istihadah (non-mentrual vaginal bleeding) and did not become pure. Her situation was mentioned to the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and he said: 'That is not menstruation, rather it is a kick [1] in the womb, so let her work out the length of the menses that she used to have, and stop praying (for that period of tie), then after that period of time), then after that let her perform Ghusl for every prayer.'" [1] A kick in the womb: in other narrations means "A kick from Shaitan,", meaning that the Shaitan uses it to confuse her about her religious commitment.

It was narrated from 'Aishah that Umm Habibah bint Jahsh used to suffer from Istihadah (non-menstrual vaginal bleeding) for seven years. She asked the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and he said: "That is not menstruation, rather it is a vein. Tell her not to pray for the amount of time that her period used to last, then let her perform Ghusl and pray.' She used to perform Ghusl for every prayer.

It was narrated from 'Urwah that Fatimah bint Abi Hubaish narrated that she came to the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and complained to him about bleeding. The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said to her: "That is a vein, so when your period comes, do not pray, and when your period is over, purify yourself and pray in between one period and the next." This is evidence that Al-Aqra' is menstruation. Abu 'Abdur-Rahman said: Hisham bin 'Urwah reported this Hadith from 'Urwah, and he did not mention what Al-Mundhir mentioned in it.

It was narrated that 'Aishah said: Fatimah bint Abi Hubaish came to the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and said: "I am a woman who suffers from Istihadah (non-menstrual vaginal bleeding) and I never become pure. Should I stop praying?" He said: "No, that is a vein, it is not menstruation. When you period comes, stop praying, and when it goes, wash the blood from yourself and pray."

It was narrated from 'Aishah that a woman who suffered from Istihadah during the time of the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) was told that it was a stubborn vein (i.e., one that would not stop bleeding). She was told to delay Zuhr and bring 'Asr forward, and to perform one Ghusl for both, and to delay Maghrib and bring 'Isha' forward, and to perform one Ghusl for both, and to perform one Ghusl for Subh.

It was narrated from Jabir bin 'Abdullah, in the Hadith of Asma' bint 'Umair, when she gave birth in Dhul-Hulaifah, that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said to Abu Bakr: "Tell her to perform Ghusl and enter Ihram."

It was narrated from Fatimah bint Abi Hubaish that she suffered from Istihadah and the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said to her: "If it is menstrual blood then it is blood that is black and recognizable, so stop praying, and if it is other than that then perform Wudu', for it is just a vein."

It was narrated from 'Aishah that Fatimah bint Abi Hubaish suffered from Istihadah (non-menstrual vaginal bleeding). The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said to her: "Menstrual blood is blood that is black and recognizable, so if it is like that, then stop praying, and if it is otherwise, then perform Wudu' and pray." Abu 'Abdur-Rahman said: Others reported this Hadith, and none of them mentioned what Ibn Abi 'Adi mentioned. And Allah Most High, knows best.
