"Umm Habibah bint Jahsh suffered Istihadah (non-menstrual vaginal bleeding) for seven years. She complained about that to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'That is not menstruation; rather that is (bleeding from) a vein, so perform Ghusl then pray.'"  

النسائي:٢٠٣أَخْبَرَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الأَوْزَاعِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الزُّهْرِيُّ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ وَعَمْرَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ

قَالَتِ اسْتُحِيضَتْ أُمُّ حَبِيبَةَ بِنْتُ جَحْشٍ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ فَاشْتَكَتْ ذَلِكَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ هَذِهِ لَيْسَتْ بِالْحَيْضَةِ وَلَكِنْ هَذَا عِرْقٌ فَاغْتَسِلِي ثُمَّ صَلِّي

Umm Habibah, daughter of Jahsh and sister-in-law of Messenger of Allah ﷺm and wife of 'Abd al-Rahman b. 'Awf, had a prolonged flow of blood for seven years. She inquired from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: This is not menstruation, but this (due to) a vein. Therefore, wash yourself and pray. Abu Dawud said: In this tradition which is transmitted by al-Zuhri from 'Urwah and 'Urwah on the authority of 'Aishah, al-Awza'i added: She ('Aishah) said: Umm Habibah daughter of Jahsh and wife of 'Abd al-Rahman b. 'Awf had a prolonged flow of blood for seven years. The Prophet ﷺ commander her saying: When the menstruation begins, abandon prayer; when it is finished, take a bath and pray.
