The purified wife of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), said to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him): O Messenger of Allah, Safiyyah bint Huyayy (may Allah be pleased with her) has begun menstruating (during Hajj). The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: Perhaps she will detain us. Did she not perform the Tawaf (Ziyarah) with you? The women replied: She has done so. Upon this, he said: Then depart.
