٤٧۔ كِتَابُ الْعِدَدِ
اؤْتُمِنَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ عَلَى فَرْجِهَا
[Machine] My tenure has ended and Ali possesses a share. He said: "Speak concerning it." He said: "And you are a witness, O Commander of the Faithful?" He said: "Yes." He said: "If she comes with a testimony from her relatives, the just ones, witnessing that she has completed three menstrual cycles, then she is telling the truth. Otherwise, she is lying." Ali said: "They say in the Roman way, 'Have you understood?'"
قَدِ انْقَضَتْ عِدَّتِي وَعِنْدَ عَلِيٍّ ؓ شُرَيْحٌ فَقَالَ قُلْ فِيهَا قَالَ وَأَنْتَ شَاهِدٌ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ إِنْ جَاءَتْ بِبِطَانَةٍ مِنْ أَهْلِهَا مِنَ الْعُدُولِ يَشْهَدُونَ أَنَّهَا حَاضَتْ ثَلَاثَ حِيَضٍ وَإِلَّا فَهِيَ كَاذِبَةٌ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ قَالُونُ بِالرُّومِيَّةِ أَيْ أَصَبْتَ
[Machine] They asked her neighbors about her, so if her menstrual cycle has ended, then her waiting period has expired, and he mentioned the conversation.
سَلُوا عَنْهَا جَارَاتِهَا فَإِنْ كَانَ حَيْضُهَا كَذَا انْقَضَتْ عِدَّتُهَا وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ
[Machine] The translation of the given passage "أَكْثَرُ الْحَيْضِ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ" into English is: "Most of the menstruation is fifteen."
أَكْثَرُ الْحَيْضِ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ
[Machine] Abu Ibrahim used to narrate these two hadiths. The Imam, the pious one, Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal, may Allah exalt his mention, used to go to them.
أَبُو إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِلَى هَذَيْنِ الْحَدِيثَيْنِ كَانَ يَذْهَبُ الْإِمَامُ الْوَرِعُ الْإِمَامُ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ تَعَالَى
