[Machine] Narrated Aisha, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ , that Fatimah, the daughter of Abu Hubaysh, used to have irregular menstrual bleeding, so she asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about it. He said, "That is only a vein and it is not menstruation. When the menstruation comes, abandon the prayer, and when it ceases, perform Ghusl (ritual bathing) and pray."  

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ أَبِي حُبَيْشٍ كَانَتْ تُسْتَحَاضُ فَسَأَلَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا ذَلِكَ عِرْقٌ وَلَيْسَتْ بِالْحَيْضَةِ فَإِذَا أَقْبَلَتِ الْحَيْضَةُ فَدَعِي الصَّلَاةَ وَإِذَا أَدْبَرَتْ فَاغْتَسِلِي وَصَلِّي  

[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.  

أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَتِ اسْتُحِيضَتْ أُمُّ حَبِيبَةَ بِنْتُ جَحْشٍ وَهِيَ تَحْتَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ فَاشْتَكَتْ ذَلِكَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ بِالْحَيْضَةِ إِنَّمَا هُوَ عِرْقٌ فَإِذَا أَقْبَلَتِ الْحَيْضَةُ فَدَعِي الصَّلَاةَ وَإِذَا أَدْبَرَتْ فَاغْتَسِلِي ثُمَّ صَلِّي قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ وَكَانَتْ أُمُّ حَبِيبَةَ تَقْعُدُ فِي مِرْكَنٍ لِأُخْتِهَا زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ حَتَّى إِنَّ حُمْرَةَ الدَّمِ لَتَعْلُو الْمَاءَ وَذِكْرُ الْغُسْلِ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ صَحِيحٌ وَقَوْلُهُ فَإِذَا أَقْبَلَتِ الْحَيْضَةُ وَإِذَا أَدْبَرَتْ تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ مِنْ بَيْنَ ثِقَاتِ أَصْحَابِ الزُّهْرِيِّ وَالصَّحِيحُ أَنَّ أُمَّ حَبِيبَةَ كَانَتْ مُعْتَادَةً وَأَنَّ هَذِهِ اللَّفْظَةَ إِنَّمَا ذَكَرَهَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ فِي قِصَّةِ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ أَبِي حُبَيْشٍ وَقَدْ  

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)   

أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَتِ اسْتُحِيضَتْ أُمُّ حَبِيبَةَ بِنْتُ جَحْشٍ وَهِيَ تَحْتَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ فَاشْتَكَتْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّ هَذِهِ لَيْسَتْ بِالْحَيْضَةِ وَلَكِنْ هَذَا عِرْقٌ فَاغْتَسِلِي ثُمَّ صَلِّي قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ وَكَانَتْ تَغْتَسِلُ لِكُلِّ صَلَاةٍ ثُمَّ تُصَلِّي وَكَانَتْ تَقْعُدُ فِي مِرْكَنٍ لِأُخْتِهَا زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ حَتَّى إِنَّ حُمْرَةَ الدَّمِ لَتَعْلُو الْمَاءَ
