Lady Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that a woman used to have excessive (istihada) bleeding, which would not stop. Lady Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) asked the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), so he (peace be upon him) said: She should count the number of days she used to have menstruation before this (illness), and leave prayer for those days. After that, when the time for prayer comes, she should perform ghusl, tie a cloth (to prevent the blood), and offer prayer.

Abu Muhammad says: Musa bin Uqbah and Laith bin Sa’d have also mentioned an intermediary between Sulaiman and Lady Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her), whereas Malik, Ubaidullah, and Yahya did not mention an intermediary between Sulaiman and Lady Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her). Ayub also did not mention Nafi’ as an intermediary, rather he narrated with the words“from Sulaiman, from Umm Salamah.”
