[Machine] The majority of menstruation lasts for fifteen days.  

أَكْثَرُ الْحَيْضِ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ يَوْمًا  

[Machine] Yahya ibn Adam praised him.  

ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ فَذَكَرَهُ  

[Machine] She sits fifteen.  

تَجْلِسُ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ  

[Machine] Menstruation lasts for fifteen.  

الْحَيْضُ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ  

[Machine] Ibn Mahdi was with us a woman whose period lasted for fifty.  

ابْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ كَانَتْ عِنْدَنَا امْرَأَةٌ حَيْضُهَا خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ  

[Machine] Abdullah said, "I caught people saying that."  

وَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ أَدْرَكْتُ النَّاسَ وَهُمْ يَقُولُونَ ذَلِكَ  

[Machine] "We have a woman who menstruates a straight and proper menstruation for fifteen days of the month." Ali said: and Sa'id ibn Muhammad al-Hannat narrated to us, from Abu Hisham, from Yahya ibn Adam, from Shurayk and Hasan ibn Salih who said: "The majority of menstruation is fifteen days."  

عِنْدَنَا امْرَأَةٌ تَحِيضُ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ حَيْضًا مُسْتَقِيمًا صَحِيحًا قَالَ عَلِيٌّ وَحَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَنَّاطُ ثنا أَبُو هِشَامٍ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ عَنْ شَرِيكٍ وَحَسَنِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ قَالَا أَكْثَرُ الْحَيْضِ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ  

[Machine] The woman experiencing istihadah waits for three, five, seven, nine, or ten days.  

الْمُسْتَحَاضَةُ تَنْتَظِرُ ثَلَاثًا خَمْسًا سَبْعًا تِسْعًا عَشْرًا لَا تُجَاوِزُ  

[Machine] Anas ibn Malik said that the menstrual period lasts for five, six, seven, eight, or eighteen days. After that, she should perform ghusl (a full-body wash), fast, and pray. This is a hadith narrated by Jild ibn Ayyub, and it has been disputed.  

قَالَ أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ قُرْءُ الْحَائِضِ خَمْسٌ سِتٌّ سَبْعٌ ثَمَانٍ عَشْرَةٌ ثُمَّ تَغْتَسِلُ وَتَصُومُ وَتُصَلِّي فَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ يُعْرَفُ بِالْجِلْدِ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ وَقَدْ أُنْكِرَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ  

[Machine] Ash-Shafi'i, we do not rely on a hadith like the one from Al-Jald, but we argue against the mistake of someone who is more knowledgeable than us with evidence that is less than this. Abu Al-Husayn bin Al-Fadl Al-Qattan informed us in Baghdad that Abdullah bin Jafar narrated to us that Ya'qub bin Sufyan said: Sulaiman bin Harb, also known as Ibn Zaid, used to weaken the hadith and say that it was not reasonable. Abu Abdullah Al-Hafiz informed us that Abu Bakr bin Ishaq narrated to us, saying: As for the hadith of Anas, Ismail bin Ishaq informed us that Sulaiman bin Harb narrated to us that Hammad bin Zaid said: Jarir bin Hazim and I went to Al-Jald bin Ayyub, who narrated to us a hadith from Muawiya bin Qurra about menstruation. We stood him up and found that he did not distinguish between menstruation and istihadah (irregular bleeding). Abu Abdullah Al-Hafiz informed us that Abu Ahmad Ad-Darimi narrated to us, saying: I heard Abu Bakr Muhammad bin Ishaq saying, I heard Ahmad bin Saeed Ad-Darimi saying, I asked Abu Asim about Al-Jald bin Ayyub, and he weakened him severely and said that he was a sheikh among the sheikhs of the Arabs but not someone who possessed strong hadith narratives. Ibn Al-Mubarak also said that the people of Basra do not give much weight to the hadith narration of Al-Jald bin Ayyub, and they say that he is not reliable in hadith. Ya'qub said: I also heard Sulaiman bin Harb and Sadaqat bin Al-Fadl and Ishaq bin Ibrahim mentioning that they considered the hadith of Al-Jald bin Ayyub as weak and did not consider it as strong evidence. Abu Saad As-Sufi informed us that Abu Ahmad bin Adi informed us, saying: Ibn Hammad, meaning Muhammad bin Ahmad bin Hammad, narrated to us that Abdullah bin Ahmad, meaning Ibn Hanbal, said: I heard my father mentioning the hadith of Al-Jald bin Ayyub and he said that his hadith is weak and cannot be relied upon. The sheikh said: And it has been narrated regarding the least and the most cases of menstruation that there are weak narrations. I have clarified their weakness in the Khalafiyyat (books of comparative fiqh).
