[Machine] "A woman came to the Prophet ﷺ and asked him about the ritual bath for menstruation. He ordered her to take a bath with water and Sidr leaves and to use a cloth soaked in it for purification. She asked, 'How should I purify myself with it?' He replied, 'Purify yourself with it.' She asked again, 'How should I purify myself with it?' The Prophet ﷺ covered his hand with it and said, 'Glorified be Allah! Purify yourself with it.' Aisha said, 'I caught the woman and said, 'Follow the traces of blood with it.'"

bukhari:314 – Yaḥyá > Ibn ʿUyaynah > Manṣūr Ibn Ṣafiyyah from his mother > ʿĀʾishah

A woman asked the Prophet ﷺ about the bath which is taken after finishing from the menses. The Prophet ﷺ told her what to do and said, "Purify yourself with a piece of cloth scented with musk." The woman asked, "How shall I purify myself with it" He said, "Subhan Allah! Purify yourself (with it)." I pulled her to myself and said, "Rub the place soiled with blood with it."

A woman asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ how to wash herself after menstruation. She mentioned that he taught her how to take bath and then told her to take a piece of cotton with musk and purify herself. She said: How should I purify myself with that? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Praise be to Allah, purify yourself with it, and covered his face, Sufyan b. 'Uyaina gave a demonstration by covering his face (as the Prophet had done). 'A'isha reported: I dragged her to my side for I had understood what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ intended and, therefore, said: Apply this cotton with musk to the trace of blood. Ibn 'Umar in his hadith (has mentioned the words of 'A'isha thus): Apply it to the marks of blood.

[Machine] That a woman asked the Prophet ﷺ about how she should perform her ablution after menstruation. He instructed her to take a piece of musk and purify herself with it. She asked, "How should I purify myself with it?" He said, "Purify yourself with it." She asked again, "How should I purify myself with it?" He said, "Cover yourself with it." Abu Uthman, or Sa'dan, indicated with his four fingers. Sufyan mentioned that he said, "SubhanAllah, purify yourself with it." Aisha said that she pulled her towards her and said, "Follow the trace of blood with it," in the narration of Ibn Bashran and Al-Rozbary, and no one else mentioned the story of Abu Uthman.
