darimi:822Muḥammad b. ʿĪsá > Muʿtamir from his father

[Machine] I said to Qatadah, "There was a woman whose menstrual period was known, but it increased by five days, or four days, or three days. He (Qatadah) said, 'She should pray.' I asked, 'What about two days?' He (Qatadah) said, 'That is part of her menstrual period.' And I asked Ibn Sireen, and he said, 'Women are more knowledgeable about that.'"
