Umm Habibah had a prolonged flow of blood ; her husband used to cohabit with her. Abu Dawud said: Yahya b. Ma'in has pronounced Mu'alla (a narrator of this tradition) as trustworthy. But Ahmad b. Hanbal would not report (traditions) from him because he exercised personal opinion. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 309)
كَانَتْ أُمُّ حَبِيبَةَ تُسْتَحَاضُ وَكَانَ زَوْجُهَا يَغْشَاهَا
