'Aishah the wife of the Prophet said: "Umm Habibah Jahsh experienced prolonged non-menstrual bleeding for seven years when she was married to 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Awf. She complained about that to the Prophet and the Prophet said: 'That is not menstruation, rather it is a vein, so when the time of your period comes, leave the prayer, and when it is over, take a bath and perform prayer.'" 'Aishah said: "She used to bathe for every prayer and then perform the prayer. She used to sit in a washtub belonging to her sister Zainab bint Jahsh and the blood would turn the water red."

Umm Habiba b. Jahsh who was the sister-in-law of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the wife of 'Abd al-Rahman b. Auf, remained mustahada for seven years, and she, therefore, asked for the verdict of Shari'ah from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about it The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: This is not menstruation, but (blood from) a vein: so bathe yourself and offer prayer. 'A'isha said: She took a bath in the wash-tub placed in the apartment of her sister Zainab b. Jahsh, till the redness of the blood came over the water. Ibn Shihab said: I narrated it to Abu Bakr b. 'Abd al-Rahman b. al-Harith b. Hisham about it who observed: May Allah have mercy on Hinda! would that she listened to this verdict. By Lord, she wept for not offering prayer.

"Umm Habibah bint Jahsh- the wife of 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Awf and the sister of Zainab bint Jahsh - suffered Istihadah (non-mentrual vaginal bleeding)." She said: "She consulted the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to her: 'That is not menstruation, rather that is a vein. When you period goes, perform Ghusl and pray, and when it comes, stop praying (for that period).'" 'Aishah said: "She used to perform Ghusl for every prayer and pray. Sometimes she would perform Ghusl in a washtub in the room of her sister Zainab when she was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the water would turn red with blood, then she would go out and pray with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. That did not stop her from praying."

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: This is not menstruation but only vein; so you should take a bath and pray. 'Aishah said: She used to take bath in a wash-tub in the apartment of her sister Zainab daughter of Jahsh ; the redness of (her) blood dominated the water. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 288)   

ابن حبّان:١٣٥٢أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَلْمٍ بِبَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ وَعُمْرَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ

[Machine] She said that Umm Habiba bint Jahsh performed Istihadah while she was under the authority of Abdulrahman bin Auf, her sister Zainab bint Jahsh's husband, for seven years. She complained about it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and he told her, "It is not menstruation, but rather a vein. So, perform the ritual bath and pray." She used to take a bath for every prayer, and she would sit in a different corner from her sister. The blood would appear as drops on the water.

"Umm Habibah bint Jahsh- the wife of 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Awf and the sister of Zainab bint Jahsh - suffered Istihadah (non-mentrual vaginal bleeding)." She said: "She consulted the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to her: 'That is not menstruation, rather that is a vein. When you period goes, perform Ghusl and pray, and when it comes, stop praying (for that period).'" 'Aishah said: "She used to perform Ghusl for every prayer and pray. Sometimes she would perform Ghusl in a washtub in the room of her sister Zainab when she was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the water would turn red with blood, then she would go out and pray with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. That did not stop her from praying." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 204)

[Machine] Aisha, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ , said that Umm Habiba bint Jahsh was menstruating for seven years while being under the care of Abdul Rahman ibn Auf. She complained about this to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , who said to her, "This is not menstruation, it is only irregular bleeding. When the actual menstruation comes, leave the prayer, and when it ends, then perform ablution and pray." Aisha said that Umm Habiba used to sit in a corner with her sister Zainab bint Jahsh, and the blood would reach the water level. The mention of purification in this hadith is authentic, and the narration about when menstruation begins and ends was specifically reported by Al-Awza'i from trustworthy narrators of the companions of Az-Zuhri. The correct view is that Umm Habiba was experiencing prolonged irregular bleeding, and the mention of this statement was reported by Hisham ibn Urwah from his father, from Aisha, regarding the story of Fatima bint Abi Hubaysh.

Umm Habibah, daughter of Jahsh, sister-in-law of Messenger of Allah ﷺ and wife of 'Abd al-Rahman b. 'Awf, had a flow of blood for seven years. She asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: This is not menstruation but only vein; so you should take a bath and pray. 'Aishah said: She used to take bath in a wash-tub in the apartment of her sister Zainab daughter of Jahsh ; the redness of (her) blood dominated the water. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 288)

'Aishah the wife of the Prophet said: "Umm Habibah Jahsh experienced prolonged non-menstrual bleeding for seven years when she was married to 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Awf. She complained about that to the Prophet and the Prophet said: 'That is not menstruation, rather it is a vein, so when the time of your period comes, leave the prayer, and when it is over, take a bath and perform prayer.'" 'Aishah said: "She used to bathe for every prayer and then perform the prayer. She used to sit in a washtub belonging to her sister Zainab bint Jahsh and the blood would turn the water red."
