الكبرى للنسائي:٢١٣ – أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عَمْرَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ

أَنَّ أُمَّ حَبِيبَةَ بِنْتَ جَحْشٍ كَانَتْ تُسْتَحَاضُ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ فَسَأَلْتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ؟ فَقَالَ «لَيْسَتْ بِالْحَيْضَةِ إِنَّمَا هُوَ عِرْقٌ فَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَتْرُكَ الصَّلَاةَ قَدْرَ أَقْرَائِهَا وَحَيْضَتِهَا وَتَغْتَسِلَ وَتُصَلِّي فَكَانَتْ تَغْتَسِلُ عِنْدَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ»

(the wife of the Prophet) Um Habiba got bleeding in between the periods for seven years. She asked Messenger of Allah ﷺ about it. He ordered her to take a bath (after the termination of actual periods) and added that it was (from) a blood vessel. So she used to take a bath for every prayer.

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّ أُمَّ حَبِيبَةَ اسْتُحِيضَتْ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ فَسَأَلَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَغْتَسِلَ فَقَالَ هَذَا عِرْقٌ فَكَانَتْ تَغْتَسِلُ لِكُلِّ صَلاَةٍ
