Umm Habiba b. Jahsh who was the sister-in-law of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the wife of 'Abd al-Rahman b. Auf, remained mustahada for seven years, and she, therefore, asked for the verdict of Shari'ah from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about it The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: This is not menstruation, but (blood from) a vein: so bathe yourself and offer prayer. 'A'isha said: She took a bath in the wash-tub placed in the apartment of her sister Zainab b. Jahsh, till the redness of the blood came over the water. Ibn Shihab said: I narrated it to Abu Bakr b. 'Abd al-Rahman b. al-Harith b. Hisham about it who observed: May Allah have mercy on Hinda! would that she listened to this verdict. By Lord, she wept for not offering prayer.  

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّ أُمَّ حَبِيبَةَ بِنْتَ جَحْشٍ خَتَنَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَتَحْتَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ اسْتُحِيضَتْ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ فَاسْتَفْتَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ هَذِهِ لَيْسَتْ بِالْحَيْضَةِ وَلَكِنَّ هَذَا عِرْقٌ فَاغْتَسِلِي وَصَلِّي قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَكَانَتْ تَغْتَسِلُ فِي مِرْكَنٍ فِي حُجْرَةِ أُخْتِهَا زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ حَتَّى تَعْلُوَ حُمْرَةُ الدَّمِ الْمَاءَ قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ فَحَدَّثْتُ بِذَلِكَ أَبَا بَكْرِ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ فَقَالَ يَرْحَمُ اللَّهُ هِنْدًا لَوْ سَمِعَتْ بِهَذِهِ الْفُتْيَا وَاللَّهِ إِنْ كَانَتْ لَتَبْكِي لأَنَّهَا كَانَتْ لاَ تُصَلِّي  

"Umm Habibah bint Jahsh- the wife of 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Awf and the sister of Zainab bint Jahsh - suffered Istihadah (non-mentrual vaginal bleeding)." She said: "She consulted the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to her: 'That is not menstruation, rather that is a vein. When you period goes, perform Ghusl and pray, and when it comes, stop praying (for that period).'" 'Aishah said: "She used to perform Ghusl for every prayer and pray. Sometimes she would perform Ghusl in a washtub in the room of her sister Zainab when she was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the water would turn red with blood, then she would go out and pray with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. That did not stop her from praying."

Umm Habibah, daughter of Jahsh, sister-in-law of Messenger of Allah ﷺ and wife of 'Abd al-Rahman b. 'Awf, had a flow of blood for seven years. She asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about it.

[Machine] Aisha, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, heard Umm Habiba bint Jahsh say that she came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while she was experiencing istihada (non-menstrual bleeding) for seven years. She complained about it to him and sought his advice. He told her, "This is not menstruation; rather, it is a vein. So, perform ablution and then pray." Aisha said that Umm Habiba used to perform ablution for every prayer and pray. She would sit in a place of prayer, and the water mixed with blood would rise to her ankle, and then she would pray.  

أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ تَقُولُ جَاءَتْ أُمُّ حَبِيبَةَ بِنْتُ جَحْشٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَكَانَتْ اسْتُحِيضَتْ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ فَاشْتَكَتْ ذَلِكَ إِلَيْهِ وَاسْتَفْتَتْهُ فِيهِ فَقَالَ لَهَا «إِنَّ هَذَا لَيْسَ بِالْحَيْضَةِ إِنَّمَا هَذَا عِرْقٌ فَاغْتَسِلِي ثُمَّ صَلِّي» قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ وَكَانَتْ أُمُّ حَبِيبَةَ تَغْتَسِلُ لِكُلِّ صَلَاةٍ وَتُصَلِّي وَكَانَتْ تَجْلِسُ فِي الْمِرْكَنِ فَتَعْلُو حُمْرَةُ الدَّمِ الْمَاءَ ثُمَّ تُصَلِّي

[Machine] Umm Habibah, the daughter of Ja'far, came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and she had been experiencing istihadah (abnormal bleeding) for seven years. She complained about it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and sought his advice. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to her, "This is not menstruation, but rather a hemorrhage, so perform ablution and then pray." Aisha said, "Umm Habibah used to perform ablution for every prayer and she would sit on a piece of cloth, and the redness of the blood would appear as water, then she would pray."  

جَاءَتْ أُمُّ حَبِيبَةَ بِنْتُ جَحْشٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَكَانَتِ اسْتُحِيضَتْ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ فَاشْتَكَتْ ذَلِكَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَاسْتَفْتَتْهُ فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ هَذَا لَيْسَ بِحَيْضٍ وَلَكِنْ هَذَا عِرْقٌ فَاغْتَسِلِي ثُمَّ صَلِّي» قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ «فَكَانَتْ أُمُّ حَبِيبَةَ تَغْتَسِلُ لِكُلِّ صَلَاةٍ فَكَانَتْ تَجْلِسُ فِي الْمِرْكَنِ فَيَعْلُو حُمْرَةُ الدَّمِ الْمَاءَ ثُمَّ تُصَلِّي»

[Machine] She said that Umm Habiba bint Jahsh performed Istihadah while she was under the authority of Abdulrahman bin Auf, her sister Zainab bint Jahsh's husband, for seven years. She complained about it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and he told her, "It is not menstruation, but rather a vein. So, perform the ritual bath and pray." She used to take a bath for every prayer, and she would sit in a different corner from her sister. The blood would appear as drops on the water.  

أَنَّهَا قَالَتِ اسْتُحِيضَتْ أُمُّ حَبِيبَةَ بِنْتُ جَحْشٍ وَهِيَ تَحْتَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ أُخْتُهَا زَيْنَبُ بِنْتُ جَحْشٍ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ فَشَكَتْ ذَلِكَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهَا «لَيْسَتْ بِالْحَيْضَةِ وَلَكِنَّهُ عِرْقٌ فَاغْتَسِلِي وَصَلِّي» «فَكَانَتْ تَغْتَسِلُ لِكُلِّ صَلَاةٍ وَكَانَتْ تَقْعُدُ فِي مِرْكَنِ أُخْتِهَا فَكَانَتْ حُمْرَةُ الدَّمِ تَعْلُو الْمَاءَ»  

"Umm Habibah bint Jahsh- the wife of 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Awf and the sister of Zainab bint Jahsh - suffered Istihadah (non-mentrual vaginal bleeding)." She said: "She consulted the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to her: 'That is not menstruation, rather that is a vein. When you period goes, perform Ghusl and pray, and when it comes, stop praying (for that period).'" 'Aishah said: "She used to perform Ghusl for every prayer and pray. Sometimes she would perform Ghusl in a washtub in the room of her sister Zainab when she was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the water would turn red with blood, then she would go out and pray with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. That did not stop her from praying." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 204)  

قَالَتِ اسْتُحِيضَتْ أُمُّ حَبِيبَةَ بِنْتُ جَحْشٍ امْرَأَةُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ وَهِيَ أُخْتُ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ فَاسْتَفْتَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ هَذِهِ لَيْسَتْ بِالْحَيْضَةِ وَلَكِنْ هَذَا عِرْقٌ فَإِذَا أَدْبَرَتِ الْحَيْضَةُ فَاغْتَسِلِي وَصَلِّي وَإِذَا أَقْبَلَتْ فَاتْرُكِي لَهَا الصَّلَاةَ» قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَكَانَتْ تَغْتَسِلُ لِكُلِّ صَلَاةٍ وَتُصَلِّي وَكَانَتْ تَغْتَسِلُ أَحْيَانًا فِي مِرْكَنٍ فِي حُجْرَةِ أُخْتِهَا زَيْنَبَ وَهِيَ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى إِنَّ حُمْرَةَ الدَّمِ لَتَعْلُو الْمَاءَ ثُمَّ تَخْرُجُ فَتُصَلِّي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَمَا يَمْنَعُهَا ذَلِكَ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ  

[Machine] Aisha, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ , said that Umm Habiba bint Jahsh was menstruating for seven years while being under the care of Abdul Rahman ibn Auf. She complained about this to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , who said to her, "This is not menstruation, it is only irregular bleeding. When the actual menstruation comes, leave the prayer, and when it ends, then perform ablution and pray." Aisha said that Umm Habiba used to sit in a corner with her sister Zainab bint Jahsh, and the blood would reach the water level. The mention of purification in this hadith is authentic, and the narration about when menstruation begins and ends was specifically reported by Al-Awza'i from trustworthy narrators of the companions of Az-Zuhri. The correct view is that Umm Habiba was experiencing prolonged irregular bleeding, and the mention of this statement was reported by Hisham ibn Urwah from his father, from Aisha, regarding the story of Fatima bint Abi Hubaysh.  

أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَتِ اسْتُحِيضَتْ أُمُّ حَبِيبَةَ بِنْتُ جَحْشٍ وَهِيَ تَحْتَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ فَاشْتَكَتْ ذَلِكَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ بِالْحَيْضَةِ إِنَّمَا هُوَ عِرْقٌ فَإِذَا أَقْبَلَتِ الْحَيْضَةُ فَدَعِي الصَّلَاةَ وَإِذَا أَدْبَرَتْ فَاغْتَسِلِي ثُمَّ صَلِّي قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ وَكَانَتْ أُمُّ حَبِيبَةَ تَقْعُدُ فِي مِرْكَنٍ لِأُخْتِهَا زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ حَتَّى إِنَّ حُمْرَةَ الدَّمِ لَتَعْلُو الْمَاءَ وَذِكْرُ الْغُسْلِ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ صَحِيحٌ وَقَوْلُهُ فَإِذَا أَقْبَلَتِ الْحَيْضَةُ وَإِذَا أَدْبَرَتْ تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ مِنْ بَيْنَ ثِقَاتِ أَصْحَابِ الزُّهْرِيِّ وَالصَّحِيحُ أَنَّ أُمَّ حَبِيبَةَ كَانَتْ مُعْتَادَةً وَأَنَّ هَذِهِ اللَّفْظَةَ إِنَّمَا ذَكَرَهَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ فِي قِصَّةِ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ أَبِي حُبَيْشٍ وَقَدْ  

Umm Habibah, daughter of Jahsh, sister-in-law of Messenger of Allah ﷺ and wife of 'Abd al-Rahman b. 'Awf, had a flow of blood for seven years. She asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: This is not menstruation but only vein; so you should take a bath and pray. 'Aishah said: She used to take bath in a wash-tub in the apartment of her sister Zainab daughter of Jahsh ; the redness of (her) blood dominated the water. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 288)

أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَتْ اسْتُحِيضَتْ أُمُّ حَبِيبَةَ بِنْتُ جَحْشٍ وَهِيَ تَحْتَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ وَاشْتَكَتْ ذَلِكَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ بِالْحَيْضَةِ إِنَّمَا ذَلِكَ عِرْقٌ فَإِذَا أَقْبَلَتِ الْحَيْضَةُ فَدَعِي الصَّلَاةَ وَإِذَا أَدْبَرَتْ فَاغْتَسِلِي ثُمَّ صَلِّي قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ وَكَانَتْ أُمُّ حَبِيبَةَ تَقْعُدُ فِي مِرْكَنٍ لِأُخْتِهَا زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ حَتَّى إِنَّ حُمْرَةَ الدَّمِ لَتَعْلُوَ الْمَاءَ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ قَوْلُهُ فَإِذَا أَقْبَلَتِ الْحَيْضَةُ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ لَمْ يَذْكُرْهُ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الزُّهْرِيِّ غَيْرُ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ
