ahmad:26510Ibn Numayr > ʿUbaydullāh > Nāfiʿ > Sulaymān b. Yasār

[Machine] Umm Salama, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ , narrated that she consulted the Messenger of Allah ﷺ regarding a woman who experiences excessive bleeding. He said, "She must wait for the duration of the nights and days during which she used to menstruate, and for her prescribed period of the month to pass. Then she should abandon prayer, purify herself, seek forgiveness and then perform prayer."
