8. Book of Purification
٨۔ كِتَابُ الطَّهَارَةِ
ذِكْرُ وَصْفِ الدَّمِ الَّذِي يُحْكَمُ لِمَنْ وُجِدَ فِيهَا بِحُكْمِ الْحَائِضِ
[Machine] "Fāṭimah, the daughter of Abi Hubaysh, used to have menstruation. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Indeed, the blood of menstruation is black in color and can be recognized. So if that is the case, then abstain from prayers. But if it is the other (non-menstrual discharge), then perform ablution and pray.'"
أَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ أَبِي حُبَيْشٍ كَانَتْ تُسْتَحَاضُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ دَمَ الْحَيْضِ دَمٌ أَسْوَدُ يُعْرَفُ فَإِذَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ فَأَمْسِكِي عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ فَإِذَا كَانَ الْآخَرُ فَتَوَضَّئِي وَصَلِّي»
ذِكْرُ الْإِبَاحَةِ لِلْحَائِضِ إِذَا طَهُرَتْ تَرْكَهَا أَدَاءَ الصَّلَوَاتِ الَّتِي تَرَكَتْ فِي أَيَّامِ حَيْضَتِهَا
"A woman asked 'Aishah: 'Should a menstruating woman make up the Salah she misses? She said: 'Are you a Haruri? [1] We used to menstruate during the time of Messenger of Allah ﷺ but we did not make up the missed Salah nor were we commanded to do so.'" [1] Meaning are you one of the Khawarij. Harura is a place associated with a group of the Khawarij. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 382)
«أَحَرُورِيَّةٌ أَنْتِ قَدْ كُنَّا نَحِيضُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَا نَقْضِي وَلَا نُؤْمَرُ بِقَضَاءٍ»
ذِكْرُ الْأَمْرِ بِتَرْكِ الصَّلَاةِ عِنْدَ إِقْبَالِ الْحَيْضَةِ، وَالِاغْتِسَالِ عِنْدَ إِدْبَارِهَا
"Fatimah bint Abi Hubaish said to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: 'O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I do not become pure. Should I stop praying? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'That is a vein and is not menstruation. When your period comes, stop praying, and when the same amount of time as your regular period has passed, then wash the blood from yourself and pray.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 218)
حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ قَالَتْ فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ أَبِي حُبَيْشٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي لَا أَطْهُرُ أَفَأَدَعُ الصَّلَاةَ؟ قَالَتْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّمَا ذَلِكَ عِرْقٌ وَلَيْسَ بِالْحَيْضَةِ فَإِذَا أَقْبَلَتِ الْحَيْضَةُ فَاتْرُكِي الصَّلَاةَ فَإِذَا ذَهَبَ عَنْكِ قَدْرُهَا فَاغْسِلِي عَنْكِ الدَّمَ وَصَلِّي»
ذِكْرُ الْأَمْرِ بِالِاغْتِسَالِ لِلْمُسْتَحَاضَةِ عِنْدَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ
[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»
ذِكْرُ الْخَبَرِ الْمُدْحِضِ قَوْلَ مَنْ زَعَمَ أَنَّ خَبَرَ عَائِشَةَ هَذَا تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ
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 أُمَّ حَبِيبَةَ بِنْتَ جَحْشٍ كَانَتْ تَحْتَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ اسْتُحِيضَتْ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ فَاسْتَفْتَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ هَذِهِ لَيْسَتْ بِحَيْضَةٍ وَلَكِنْ هَذَا عِرْقٌ فَاغْتَسِلِي وَصَلِّي» قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ «فَكَانَتْ تَغْتَسِلُ عِنْدَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ فِي مِرْكَنِ حُجْرَةِ أُخْتِهَا زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ حَتَّى يَعْلُوَ حُمْرَةُ الدَّمِ الْمَاءَ»
ذِكْرُ الْخَبَرِ الْمُدْحِضِ قَوْلَ مَنْ زَعَمَ أَنَّ خَبَرَ عَمْرَةَ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ وَالْأَوْزَاعِيُّ
[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»
ذِكْرُ الْأَمْرِ لِلْمُسْتَحَاضَةِ بِتَجْدِيدِ الْوُضُوءِ عِنْدَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ
[Machine] Fatimah bint Abi Hubaysh came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I experience istihadah (continuous bleeding) for a month or two." He replied, "That is not menstruation, rather it is a type of vein discharge. When the actual menstruation begins, leave praying for the number of days you used to menstruate. Then, when it ends, perform ghusl (ritual bath) and make ablution for every prayer."
أَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ أَبِي حُبَيْشٍ أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أُسْتَحَاضُ الشَّهْرَ وَالشَّهْرَيْنِ؟ قَالَ «لَيْسَ ذَاكَ بِحَيْضٍ وَلَكِنَّهُ عِرْقٌ فَإِذَا أَقْبَلَ الْحَيْضُ فَدَعِي الصَّلَاةَ عَدَدَ أَيَّامِكِ الَّتِي كُنْتِ تَحِيضِينَ فِيهِ فَإِذَا أَدْبَرَتْ فَاغْتَسِلِي وَتَوَضَّئِي لِكُلِّ صَلَاةٍ»
ذِكْرُ الْخَبَرِ الْمُدْحِضِ قَوْلَ مَنْ زَعَمَ أَنَّ هَذِهِ اللَّفْظَةَ تَفَرَّدَ بِهَا أَبُو حَمْزَةَ وَأَبُو حَنِيفَةَ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about the woman experiencing menstrual bleeding. He said, "She should abstain from praying during her menstrual days, then she should take a single complete bath (ghusl), and then perform ablution (wudu) for each prayer."
سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْمُسْتَحَاضَةِ فَقَالَ «تَدَعُ الصَّلَاةَ أَيَّامَهَا ثُمَّ تَغْتَسِلُ غُسْلًا وَاحِدًا ثُمَّ تَتَوَضَّأُ عِنْدَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ»
ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ عَنِ اسْتِخْدَامِ الْمَرْءِ الْمَرْأَةَ الْحَائِضَ فِي أَسْبَابِهِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to the young girl, "Bring me the drink." He intended to extend it and pray over it. I said, "She is menstruating." He said, "Her menstruation is not in her hands."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لِلْجَارِيَةِ «نَاوِلِينِي الْخُمْرَةَ» أَرَادَ أَنْ يَبْسُطَهَا فَيُصَلِّي عَلَيْهَا فَقُلْتُ إِنَّهَا حَائِضٌ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ حَيْضَتَهَا لَيْسَتْ فِي يَدِهَا»
ذِكْرُ الْإِبَاحَةِ لِلْمَرْءِ اسْتِخْدَامَ الْمَرْأَةِ الْحَائِضِ فِي أَحْوَالِهِ
The Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) said to me; Get me the mat from the mosque. I said ; I am menstruating. The Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) then replied: Your menstruation is not in your hand. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 261)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «نَاوِلِينِي الْخُمْرَةَ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ» قُلْتُ إِنِّي حَائِضٌ قَالَ «إِنَّ حَيْضَتَكِ لَيْسَتْ فِي يَدِكِ»
ذِكْرُ الْخَبَرِ الْمُدْحِضِ قَوْلَ مَنْ زَعَمَ أَنَّ هَذَا الْخَبَرَ تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ
[Machine] She said, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me, "Pass me the pitcher of wine." She said, so I said, "I am menstruating." He said, "It is not in your hands." So, I handed it to him.
أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «نَاوِلِينِي الْخُمْرَةَ» قَالَتْ فَقُلْتُ إِنِّي حَائِضٌ قَالَ «إِنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ فِي يَدِكِ» فَنَاوَلْتُهُ
ذِكْرُ إِبَاحَةِ تَرْجِيلِ الْمَرْأَةِ شَعَرَ زَوْجِهَا وَإِنْ لَمْ يَحِلَّ لَهَا أَدَاءُ الصَّلَاةِ فِي ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتِ
"I used to comb the hair of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when I was menstruating." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 277)
أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ «كُنْتُ أُرَجِّلُ رَأْسَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا حَائِضٌ»
ذِكْرُ إِبَاحَةِ مُؤَاكَلَةِ الْحَائِضِ وَمُشَارَبَتِهَا
[Machine] "If someone were to bring me a vessel while I am menstruating, I would drink from it and then he would take it and put his mouth on the same place where I put my mouth, and he would drink. And if I sweat while I am menstruating, he would take it and put his mouth on the same place."
«إِنْ كُنْتُ لَأُوتَى بِالْإِنَاءِ وَأَنَا حَائِضٌ فَأَشْرَبُ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ يَأْخُذُهُ فَيَضَعُ فَمَهُ عَلَى مَوْضِعِ فِيَّ فَيَشْرَبُ وَأَتَعَرَّقُ الْعَرْقَ وَأَنَا حَائِضٌ فَيَأْخُذُهُ فَيَضَعُ فَمَهُ مَوْضِعَ فِيَّ»
ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ عَائِشَةَ كَانَتْ تَأْخُذُ الْإِنَاءَ لِتَشْرَبَ وَتَأْخُذُ الْعَرْقَ لَتَأْكُلَ
[Machine] "If I bring the Prophet ﷺ water, let him take it and drink from it, then he would take it and place his mouth in the same spot as mine and drink. And if I take a piece of meat, he would eat from it and place his mouth in the same spot as mine and eat. And I am menstruating."
«إِنْ كُنْتُ لَآتِي النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بِالْإِنَاءِ فَآخُذُهُ فَأَشْرَبُ مِنْهُ فَيَأْخُذُ فَيَضَعُ فَاهُ مَوْضِعَ فِيَّ فَيَشْرَبُ وَإِنْ كُنْتُ لَآخُذُ الْعَرْقَ مِنَ اللَّحْمِ فَآكُلُهُ فَيَضَعُ فَاهُ عَلَى مَوْضِعِ فِيَّ فَيَأْكُلُهُ وَأَنَا حَائِضٌ»
ذِكْرُ الْأَمْرِ بِمُؤَاكَلَةِ الْحَائِضِ وَمُشَارَبَتِهَا وَاسْتِخْدَامِهَا إِذِ الْيَهُودُ لَا تَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ
Among the jews, when a women menstruated, they ejected her from the house, and they did not eat with her, nor did they drink with her, nor did they associate with her in (their houses) so the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) was questioned about that. Thereupon Allah revealed : “They question thee concerning menstruation. Say : I: is an illness, so let woman alone at such times” (ii 222). The Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) then said: Associate with them in the houses and do everything except sexual intercourse. Thereupon the Jews said: This man does not want to leave anything we do without opposing us in it. Usaid b. Hudair and Abbad b. Bishr came and said: Messenger of Allah, the jews are saying such and such a thing. Shall we not then have intercourse with women during mensuration? The face of the Apostle Allah ﷺ underwent such a change that we thought he was angry with them; but when they went out they received a gift of milk which was being brought to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he sent after them and gave them a drink, whereupon we thought that he was not angry with them. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 258)
أَنَّ الْيَهُودَ كَانُوا إِذَا حَاضَتْ بَيْنَهُمُ امْرَأَةٌ أَخْرَجُوهَا مِنَ الْبُيُوتِ وَلَمْ يَأْكُلُوا مَعَهَا وَلَمْ يُشَارِبُوهَا وَلَمْ يُجَامِعُوهَا فِي الْبُيُوتِ فَسُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا {وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الْمَحِيضِ قُلْ هُوَ أَذًى فَاعْتَزِلُوا النِّسَاءَ فِي الْمَحِيضِ} فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «اصْنَعُوا كُلَّ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا النِّكَاحَ» فَقَالَتِ الْيَهُودُ مَا نَرَى هَذَا الرَّجُلَ يَدَعُ شَيْئًا مِنْ أَمْرِنَا إِلَّا يُخَالِفُنَا فَجَاءَ أُسَيْدُ بْنُ حُضَيْرٍ وَعَبَّادُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ فَقَالَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الْيَهُودُ تَقُولُ كَذَا وَكَذَا أَفَلَا نَنْكِحُهُنَّ فِي الْمَحِيضِ؟ قَالَ فَتَغَيَّرَ وَجْهُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ قَدْ وَجَدَ عَلَيْهِمَا فَخَرَجَا فَاسْتَقْبَلَتْهُ هَدْيَةٌ مِنْ لَبَنٍ فَبَعَثَ فِي أَثَرِهِمَا فَظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَجِدْ عَلَيْهِمَا فَسَقَاهُمَا
ذِكْرُ الْإِبَاحَةِ لِلْمَرْءِ أَنْ يُضَاجِعَ امْرَأَتَهُ إِذَا كَانَتْ حَائِضًا
"While I was lying down with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ under a blanket, my period came, so I slipped away and put on the clothes I used to wear when I was menstruating. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Are you menstruating?' I said: 'Yes.' Then he called me and I lied down with him under the blanket." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 283)
بَيْنَمَا أَنَا مُضْطَجِعَةٌ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي الْخَمِيلَةِ إِذْ حِضْتُ فَانْسَلَلْتُ فَأَخَذْتُ ثِيَابَ حِيضَتِي فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَنَفِسْتِ؟ » قُلْتُ نَعَمْ فَدَعَانِي فَاضْطَجَعْتُ مَعَهُ فِي الْخَمِيلَةِ
ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ الْمَرْأَةَ الْحَائِضَ إِذَا نَامَ مَعَهَا زَوْجُهَا يَجِبُ أَنْ تَتَّزِرَ ثُمَّ يُضَاجِعُهَا بَعْدُ
«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَأْمُرُ إِحْدَانَا إِذَا كَانَتْ حَائِضًا أَنْ تَتَّزِرَ ثُمَّ يُبَاشِرُهَا»
ذِكْرُ وَصْفِ الِاتِّزَارِ الَّذِي تَسْتَعْمِلُ الْحَائِضُ عِنْدَ مُضَاجَعَةِ زَوْجِهَا إِيَّاهَا
The Prophet ﷺ would contact and embrace any of his wives while she was menstruating. She would wear the wrapper up to half the the thighs or cover her knees with it. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 267)
عَنْ مَيْمُونَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يُبَاشِرُ الْمَرْأَةَ مِنْ نِسَائِهِ وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ إِذَا كَانَ عَلَيْهَا إِزَارٌ يَبْلُغُ أَنْصَافَ الْفَخِذَيْنِ أَوِ الرُّكْبَتَيْنِ فَتَحْتَجِزُ بِهِ»
ذِكْرُ جَوَازِ اتِّكَاءِ الْمَرْءِ عَلَى الْمَرْأَةِ الْحَائِضِ وَمُبَاشَرَتِهِ إِيَّاهَا دُونَ وَضْعِ الْإِزَارِ
[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to recite the Quran while lying down on me, and I was menstruating."
«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ وَهُوَ مُتَّكِئٌ عَلَيَّ وَأَنَا حَائِضٌ»
ذِكْرُ الْأَمْرِ لِلْمَرْأَةِ الْحَائِضِ بِالِاتِّزَارِ عِنْدَ إِرَادَةِ مُبَاشَرَةِ الزَّوْجِ إِيَّاهَا
«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَأْمُرُ إِحْدَانَا إِذَا كَانَتْ حَائِضًا أَنْ تَتَّزِرَ ثُمَّ يُبَاشِرُهَا»
ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ قَوْلَ عَائِشَةَ ثُمَّ يُبَاشِرُهَا أَرَادَتْ بِهِ ثُمَّ يُضَاجِعُهَا
[Machine] "When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wanted to have sexual intercourse with one of his wives while she was menstruating, he would command her to wear an izar (lower garment)."
«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يُضَاجِعُ بَعْضَ نِسَائِهِ وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ أَمَرَهَا فَاتَّزَرَتْ»
