Abu Bishr (Ja'far bin Abi Wahshiyah) said: I heard Sa'id bin Jubayr (may Allah have mercy on him) say: A woman wrote to Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas and Ibn Zubair (may Allah be pleased with them) that I am mustahadah (experiencing non-menstrual bleeding), I do not become pure, and I remind both of you by Allah to give me a fatwa. I inquired about this, and people told me that Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) used to say that such a woman should perform ghusl for every prayer. Abu Bishr said: I read this letter aloud and wrote the reply with my own hand that I do not find anything except the statement of Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) (i.e., what he said is correct). It was said that Kufa is a cold place. He replied: If Allah willed, He could have afflicted them with a greater trial than this.
