bayhaqi:1643Abū al-Ḥasan b. Bishrān al-ʿAdl> Abū al-Ḥasan ʿAlī b. Muḥammad b. Aḥmad al-Miṣrī > Yaḥyá b. ʿUthmān b. Ṣāliḥ > Abū And ʾIsḥāq b. Bakr b. Muḍar Wa-al-Nnaḍr b. ʿAbd al-Jabbār > Bakr b. Muḍar > Jaʿfar b. Rabīʿah > ʿIrāk b. Mālik > ʿUrwah b. al-Zubayr > ʿĀʾishah

[Machine] Indeed, Umm Habibah bint Jahsh, who was under the care of Abdur Rahman ibn Auf, complained to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about bleeding. He told her to wait as long as her menstruation used to detain her, then perform ablution. Thus, she would perform ablution after every prayer from her own accord. These two authentic narrations clarify that the Prophet ﷺ did not command her to perform ablution after every prayer, rather she did it on her own. So, how can the command to perform ablution after every prayer be confirmed from the hadith of Urwah?  

البيهقي:١٦٤٣أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ بْنُ بِشْرَانَ الْعَدْلُ بِبَغْدَادَ أنبأ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ الْمِصْرِيُّ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ ثنا أَبِي وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ بَكْرِ بْنِ مُضَرٍ وَالنَّضْرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ قَالُوا ثنا بَكْرُ بْنُ مُضَرٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ عَنْ عِرَاكِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ

إِنَّ أُمَّ حَبِيبَةَ بِنْتَ جَحْشٍ الَّتِي كَانَتْ تَحْتَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ شَكَتْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الدَّمَ فَقَالَ لَهَا امْكُثِي قَدْرَ مَا كَانَتْ تَحْبِسُكِ حَيْضَتُكِ ثُمَّ اغْتَسِلِي قَالَ فَكَانَتْ تَغْتَسِلُ عِنْدَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ مِنْ عِنْدِ نَفْسِهَا فَفِي هَذِهِ الرِّوَايَتَيْنِ الصَّحِيحَتَيْنِ بَيَانٌ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ لَمْ يَأْمُرْهَا بِالْغُسْلِ عِنْدِ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ وَأَنَّهَا كَانَتْ تَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ مِنْ عِنْدِ نَفْسِهَا فَكَيْفَ يَكُونُ الْأَمْرُ بِالْغُسْلِ عِنْدَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ ثَابِتًا مِنْ حَدِيثِ عُرْوَةَ

Umm Habiba b. Jahsh who was the spouse of Abd al- Rahman b. Auf made a complaint to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about blood (which flows beyond the menstrual period). He said to her: Remain away (from prayer) equal (to the length of time) that your menstruation holds you back. After this, bathe yourself. And she washed herself before every prayer.  

مسلم:٣٣٤fحَدَّثَنِي مُوسَى بْنُ قُرَيْشٍ التَّمِيمِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ بَكْرِ بْنِ مُضَرَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي حَدَّثَنِي جَعْفَرُ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ عَنْ عِرَاكِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ إِنَّ أُمَّ حَبِيبَةَ بِنْتَ جَحْشٍ الَّتِي كَانَتْ تَحْتَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ شَكَتْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الدَّمَ فَقَالَ لَهَا امْكُثِي قَدْرَ مَا كَانَتْ تَحْبِسُكِ حَيْضَتُكِ ثُمَّ اغْتَسِلِي فَكَانَتْ تَغْتَسِلُ عِنْدَ كُلِّ صَلاَةٍ
