2. Menstruation
٢۔ كِتَابُ الْحَيْضِ
[Machine] One of us used to be instructed by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to wear an izar (a type of garment) and then he would have relations with her.
كَانَتْ إِحْدَانَا إِذَا حَاضَتْ أَمَرَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ تَتَّزِرَ بِإِزَارٍ ثُمَّ يُبَاشِرُهَا
[Machine] One of us, when she was menstruating, the Prophet ﷺ commanded her to put on an izar (lower garment) during her menstruation, then he would have intimate relations with her. And which of you has control over his desire as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had control over his desire.
كَانَتْ إِحْدَانَا إِذَا كَانَتْ حَائِضًا أَمَرَهَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَنْ تَأْتَزِرَ فِي فَوْرِ حَيْضَتِهَا ثُمَّ يُبَاشِرُهَا وَأَيُّكُمْ يَمْلِكُ إِرْبَهُ كَمَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَمْلِكُ إِرْبَهُ
[Machine] About Maymuna bint al-Harith, the wife of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , she said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to have sexual intercourse with his wives while they were on their period.
عَنْ مَيْمُونَةَ بِنْتِ الْحَارِثِ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُبَاشِرُ نِسَاءَهُ فَوْقَ الْإِزَارِ وَهُنَّ حُيَّضٌ
[Machine] "Narrated by Maymuna, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ , she said: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wanted to have sexual relations with one of his wives while she was menstruating, he would command her to wrap herself in a waist wrapper."
عَنْ مَيْمُونَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يُبَاشِرَ امْرَأَةً مِنْ نِسَائِهِ وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ أَمَرَهَا فَاتَّزَرَتْ
[Machine] I heard Maymunah say, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to lie down with me while I was menstruating, with a garment between me and him."
سَمِعْتُ مَيْمُونَةَ تَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَضْطَجِعُ مَعِي وَأَنَا حَائِضٌ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ ثَوْبٌ
While I was laying with the Prophet ﷺ under a single woolen sheet, I got the menses. I slipped away and put on the clothes for menses. He said, "Have you got "Nifas" (menses)?" I replied, "Yes." He then called me and made me lie with him under the same sheet. (Using translation from Bukhārī 298)
بَيْنَمَا أنا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مُضْطَجِعَةٌ فِي الْخَمِيلَةِ إِذْ حِضْتُ فَانْسَلَلْتُ فَلَبِسْتُ ثِيَابَ حِيضَتِي فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَفِسْتِ؟ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ فَدَعَانِي فَاضْطَجَعْتُ مَعَهُ فِي الْخَمِيلَةِ
[Machine] "She was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in a secluded place when she got her menstruation. Her people told her to wrap herself and then come back."
أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي لِحَافٍ فَأَصَابَهَا الْحَيْضُ فَقَالَ لَهَا قَوْمِي فَاتَّزِرِي ثُمَّ عُودِي
[Machine] Abu Tahir Al-Faqih informed us from his source that Abu Uthman Al-Basri narrated to us from Abu Ahmad Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab, who narrated from Khalid ibn Makhlad, who narrated from Muhammad ibn Jafar, who informed me that Shareek ibn Abdullah ibn Abi Namir narrated from Ataa ibn Yasar, who narrated from Aisha. She said, "I was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ under one blanket. I moved away, and he asked, 'What is the matter?' I replied, 'I have menstruation.' He said, 'Tighten your waist cloth and enter (under the blanket again).'" This narration is also reported by Malik ibn Rabia from Aisha, through a different chain of narrators. It is possible that this incident occurred with both Aisha and Umm Salamah.
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو طَاهِرٍ الْفَقِيهُ مِنْ أَصْلِهِ أنبأ أَبُو عُثْمَانَ الْبَصْرِيُّ ثنا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ ثنا خَالِدُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنِي شَرِيكُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي نَمِرٍ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ كُنْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي لِحَافٍ وَاحِدٍ فَانْسَلَلْتُ فَقَالَ مَا شَأْنُكِ؟ فَقُلْتُ حِضْتُ فَقَالَ شُدِّي عَلَيْكِ إِزَارَكِ ثُمَّ ادْخُلِي وَرَوَاهُ مَالِكُ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ مُرْسَلًا وَيُحْتَمَلُ أَنْ يَكُونَ وَقَعَ ذَلِكَ لِعَائِشَةَ وَأُمِّ سَلَمَةَ جَمِيعًا
[Machine] I asked Aisha, "Did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ engage in sexual intercourse with you while you were menstruating?" She replied, "Yes, and I was experiencing severe cramps. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would tell me to wear a waist-wrapper owned by Abu Bakr, and then he would engage in intercourse with me throughout the long night." I asked, "Did he eat with you while you were menstruating?" She said, "If I had food, he would take a bite from it and then pass it to me, and I would eat from the place he had bitten." I asked, "Did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ drink from your drinking vessel?" She said, "He would give me the cup to drink from, then take it and place his mouth where I had drunk from, and he would then drink."
سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ أَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُبَاشِرُكِ وَأَنْتِ حَائِضٌ؟ قَالَتْ وَأَنَا عَارِكٌ كَانَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ اتَّزِرِي بِنْتَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ثُمَّ يُبَاشِرُنِي لَيْلًا طَوِيلًا قُلْتُ أَكَانَ يَأْكُلُ مَعَكِ وَأَنْتِ حَائِضٌ؟ قَالَتْ إِنْ كَانَ لَيُنَاوِلُنِي الْعَرْقَ فَأَعَضُّ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ يَأْخُذُهُ مِنِّي فَيَعَضُّ مَكَانَ الَّذِي عَضَضْتُ مِنْهُ قُلْتُ هَلْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَشْرَبُ مِنْ شَرَابِكِ؟ قَالَتْ كَانَ يُنَاوِلُنِي الْإِنَاءَ فَأَشْرَبُ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ يَأْخُذُهُ فَيَضَعُ فَاهُ حَيْثُ وَضَعْتُ فِيَّ فَيَشْرَبُ
[Machine] If I drink from the cup while I am on my period, the Prophet ﷺ will place his mouth on the same place I drank from and I will take the remnant and he will place his mouth on the same place I took from.
إِنْ كُنْتُ لَأَشْرَبُ مِنَ الْقَدَحِ وَأَنَا حَائِضٌ فَيَضَعُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَاهُ عَلَى الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي شَرِبْتُ مِنْهُ وَآخُذُ الْعَرْقَ فَانْهَشَ مِنْهُ فَيَضَعُ فَاهُ عَلَى الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي نَهَشْتُ مِنْهُ
[Machine] She said: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to seek refuge in my chamber while I was on my period, and he would recite the Quran."
أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَتَّكِئُ فِي حِجْرِي وَأَنَا حَائِضٌ وَيَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ
[Machine] "On Aisha's authority, it is mentioned in the hadith that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to cover me while I was menstruating, and the garment would reach my head."
عَلَى عَائِشَةَ ؓ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ وَفِيهِ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَتَوَشَّحُنِي وَيَنَالُ مِنْ رَأْسِي وَأَنَا حَائِضٌ وَعَلَيَّ الْإِزَارُ
[Machine] He asked the Messenger of Allah, may ﷺ , what is permissible for me with my wife while she is in her menstrual period? He said to him, anything above the waist garment. He also mentioned the permission of embracing his wife while she is in her menstrual period. The hadith was narrated by his uncle Abdullah ibn Sa'd al-Ansari, and it is narrated that Har'am ibn Mu'awiya also reported from his uncle Abdullah ibn Sa'd al-Ansari.
أَنْهُ سَأَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا يَحِلُّ لِي مِنِ امْرَأَتِي وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ؟ قَالَ لَكَ مَا فَوْقَ الْإِزَارِ قَالَ وَذَكَرَ مُؤَاكَلَةَ الْحَائِضِ أَيْضًا وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ عَمُّهُ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَعْدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ وَقِيلَ حَرَامُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ عَمِّهِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ
[Machine] "And what are they?" They said, "The optional prayers a man performs in his house. What is permissible for a man regarding his wife while she is menstruating, and regarding the purification from sexual impurity." Umar said, "Are you sorcerers?" They said, "No, O Commander of the Believers, we are not sorcerers." Umar said, "You have asked me about three things, none of which have been asked of me since I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about them. As for the optional prayers performed by a man in his house, it is a light, so illuminate your house to the extent you are able. As for menstruation, it is above the waist wrappings (izars), so there is nothing wrong with that. And as for purification from sexual impurity, you should first pour water over your right hand onto your left hand, then you should wash your private parts and anything that becomes affected, then you should perform ablution for prayer, then you should pour water three times on your head, rubbing your head each time, then you should wash the rest of your body."
وَمَا هُنَّ؟ قَالُوا صَلَاةُ الرَّجُلِ فِي بَيْتِهِ تَطَوُّعًا مَا هِيَ وَمَا يَصْلُحُ لِلرَّجُلِ مِنَ امْرَأَتِهِ وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ وَعَنِ الْغُسْلِ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ أَسَحَرَةٌ أَنْتُمْ؟ قَالُوا لَا يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَا نَحْنُ بِسَحَرَةٍ قَالَ لَقَدْ سَأَلْتُمُونِي عَنْ ثَلَاثَةِ أَشْيَاءَ مَا سَأَلَنِي عَنْهُنَّ أَحَدٌ مُنْذُ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْهُنَّ قَبْلَكُمْ أَمَّا صَلَاةُ الرَّجُلِ فِي بَيْتِهِ نُورٌ فَنَوِّرْ بَيْتَكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتَ وَأَمَّا الْحَائِضُ فَمَا فَوْقَ الْإِزَارِ وَلَيْسَ لَهُ مَا تَحْتَهُ وَأَمَّا الْغُسْلُ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ فَتُفْرِغُ بِيَمِينِكَ عَلَى يَسَارِكَ ثُمَّ تُدْخِلُ يَدَكَ فِي الْإِنَاءِ فَتَغْسِلُ فَرْجَكَ وَمَا أَصَابَكَ ثُمَّ تَوَضَّأُ وُضُوءَكَ لِلصَّلَاةِ ثُمَّ تُفْرِغُ عَلَى رَأْسِكَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ تَدْلُكُ رَأْسَكَ كُلَّ مَرَّةٍ ثُمَّ تَغْسِلُ سَائِرَ جَسَدِكَ
