ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ الْمَرْأَةَ الْحَائِضَ إِنَّمَا أُمِرَتْ بِتَعْقِيبِ الْغُسْلِ بِالْفِرْصَةِ الْمُمَسَّكَةِ دُونَ غَيْرِهَا

[Machine] She heard Aisha saying that a woman asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about menstruation and how to perform ablution from it. He said, "Take a clean piece of cloth and perform ablution with it." She asked, "How do I perform ablution with it?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Perform ablution with it." She asked again, "How do I perform ablution with it?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ repeated, "Perform ablution with it." Aisha then understood what he meant, so she grabbed it and taught her.  

ابن حبّان:١٢٠٠ – أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ حَدَّثَنَا الْفُضَيْلُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ حَدَّثَنَا مَنْصُورُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ خَبَّرَتْنِي أُمِّي

أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتْ عَائِشَةَ تَقُولُ إِنَّ امْرَأَةً سَأَلَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْحَيْضِ كَيْفَ تَغْتَسِلُ مِنْهُ؟ قَالَ «تَأْخُذِي فِرْصَةً مُمَسَّكَةً فَتَتَوَضَّئِينَ بِهَا» قَالَتْ كَيْفَ أَتَوَضَّأُ بِهَا؟ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «تَوَضَّئِينَ بِهَا» قَالَتْ كَيْفَ أَتَوَضَّأُ بِهَا؟ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «تَوَضَّئِينَ بِهَا» قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَعَرَفْتُ الَّذِي يُرِيدُ فَجَبَذْتُهَا إِلَيَّ فَعَلَّمْتُهَا

A woman asked the Prophet (Hadith 456). Narrated ʿAisha: A woman asked the Prophet ﷺ about the periods: How to take a bath after the periods. He said, "Take a perfumed piece of cloth and clean yourself with it." She said,' "How shall I clean myself with it, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Clean yourself" She said again, "How shall I clean myself, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Clean yourself with it." Then I knew what Messenger of Allah ﷺ meant. So I pulled her aside and explained it to her.
