Abu Dawud said: Ibn al-Muthanna said: Ibn Adi narrated this tradition from his memory on the authority of Urwah from Aishah. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has also been transmitted by al-'Ala bin al-Musayyab and Shubah from al-Hakam on the authority of Abu Jafar. Al-'Ala reported it as a statement of the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم , and Shubah as a statement of Abu Jafar, saying: She should perform ablution for every prayer.
