ʿAisha said, "We set out with the sole intention of performing Hajj and when we reached Sarif, (a place six miles from Mecca) I got my menses. Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to me while I was weeping. He said 'What is the matter with you? Have you got your menses?' I replied, 'Yes.' He said, 'This is a thing which Allah has ordained for the daughters of Adam. So do what all the pilgrims do with the exception of the Tawaf (Circumambulation) round the Kaʿba." ʿAisha added, "Messenger of Allah ﷺ sacrificed cows on behalf of his wives."  

سَمِعْتُ عَائِشَةَ تَقُولُ خَرَجْنَا لاَ نَرَى إِلاَّ الْحَجَّ فَلَمَّا كُنَّا بِسَرِفَ حِضْتُ فَدَخَلَ عَلَىَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا أَبْكِي قَالَ مَا لَكِ أَنُفِسْتِ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ إِنَّ هَذَا أَمْرٌ كَتَبَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى بَنَاتِ آدَمَ فَاقْضِي مَا يَقْضِي الْحَاجُّ غَيْرَ أَنْ لاَ تَطُوفِي بِالْبَيْتِ قَالَتْ وَضَحَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ نِسَائِهِ بِالْبَقَرِ  

that the Prophet ﷺ entered upon her when she had her menses at Sarif before entering Mecca, and she was weeping (because she was afraid that she would not be able to perform the Hajj). The Prophet ﷺ said, "What is wrong with you? Have you got your period?" She said, "Yes." He said, "This is a matter Allah has decreed for all the daughters of Adam, so perform all the ceremonies of Hajj like the others, but do not perform the Tawaf around the Kaʿba." ʿAisha added: When we were at Mina, beef was brought to me and I asked, "What is this?" They (the people) said, "Messenger of Allah ﷺ has slaughtered some cows as sacrifices on behalf of his wives."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا وَحَاضَتْ بِسَرِفَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَدْخُلَ مَكَّةَ وَهْىَ تَبْكِي فَقَالَ مَا لَكِ أَنَفِسْتِ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ قَالَ إِنَّ هَذَا أَمْرٌ كَتَبَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى بَنَاتِ آدَمَ فَاقْضِي مَا يَقْضِي الْحَاجُّ غَيْرَ أَنْ لاَ تَطُوفِي بِالْبَيْتِ فَلَمَّا كُنَّا بِمِنًى أُتِيتُ بِلَحْمِ بَقَرٍ فَقُلْتُ مَا هَذَا قَالُوا ضَحَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ أَزْوَاجِهِ بِالْبَقَرِ  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered upon me at Sarif while I was weeping (because I was afraid that I would not be able to perform the ,Hajj). He said, "What is wrong with you? Have you got your period?" I replied, "Yes." He said, "This is a matter Allah has decreed for all the daughters of Adam, so perform the ceremonies of the Hajj as the pilgrims do, but do not perform the Tawaf around the Kaʿba." Messenger of Allah ﷺ slaughtered some cows as sacrifices on behalf of his wives.  

دَخَلَ عَلَىَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِسَرِفَ وَأَنَا أَبْكِي فَقَالَ مَا لَكِ أَنَفِسْتِ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ هَذَا أَمْرٌ كَتَبَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى بَنَاتِ آدَمَ اقْضِي مَا يَقْضِي الْحَاجُّ غَيْرَ أَنْ لاَ تَطُوفِي بِالْبَيْتِ وَضَحَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ نِسَائِهِ بِالْبَقَرِ  

We proceeded with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with no other intention but that of performing the Hajj. As I was at Sarif or near it, I entered in the state of menses. The Apostle of Allah ﷺ came to me and I was weeping, whereupon he said: Are you in a state of menses? I said. Yes. whereupon he said: This is what Allah has ordained for all the daughters, of Adam. Do whatever the pilgrim does. except that you should not circumambulate the House till you have washed yourself (at the end of the menses period). And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ offered sacrifice of a cow on behalf of his wives.  

خَرَجْنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَلاَ نُرَى إِلاَّ الْحَجَّ حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا بِسَرِفَ أَوْ قَرِيبًا مِنْهَا حِضْتُ فَدَخَلَ عَلَىَّ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَأَنَا أَبْكِي فَقَالَ أَنَفِسْتِ يَعْنِي الْحَيْضَةَ قَالَتْ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ إِنَّ هَذَا شَىْءٌ كَتَبَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى بَنَاتِ آدَمَ فَاقْضِي مَا يَقْضِي الْحَاجُّ غَيْرَ أَنْ لاَ تَطُوفِي بِالْبَيْتِ حَتَّى تَغْتَسِلِي قَالَتْ وَضَحَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ نِسَائِهِ بِالْبَقَرِ  

"We went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with no intention other than Hajj. When he was in Sarif [1] I began menstruating. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered upon me and I was weeping. He said: 'What is the matter with you? Has your Nifas begun?' [2] I said: 'Yes.' He said: 'This is something that Allah the Mighty and Sublime has decreed for the daughter of Adam. Do what the pilgrims do, but do not perform tawaf around the House.' And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sacrificed a cow on behalf of his wives." [1] Sarif is a place between Al-Madinah and Makkah, near Makkah. [2] Here, it means menstruation. See the chapter clarifying that where it appears again, No. 349.

“We went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, intending only to perform Hajj. When we were in Sarif or close to Sarif, my menses came. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered upon me when I was weeping.

Do all the rites, but do not circumambulate the House.’” She said: “And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sacrificed a cow on behalf of his wives.”

[Machine] We went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and all we saw was the Hajj. When we were at Sarif or Qariban from it, I had my menstrual cycle. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered upon me while I was crying. He asked, "What is the matter with you? Have you started your menstrual cycle?" I replied, "Yes." He said, "This is a matter Allah has ordained for the daughters of Adam. So do what the pilgrims do except for circumambulation around the Ka'bah until you clean yourself." When we were at Mina, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sacrificed a cow for his wives, according to the hadith narrated by Abu 'Amr. In the narration of Abu 'Abdullah, it is said that 'A'isha said: She did not mention the part where the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked if she had started her menstrual cycle. When we were at Mina, she said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sacrificed a cow for his wives.
