[Machine] Um Habiba, the daughter of Jahsh, experienced istihada (irregular bleeding) for seven years. She was the wife of Abdur Rahman ibn Awf. So she asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about this. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, this is a vein and not menstruation. So perform ablution and pray." Accordingly, she would perform ablution before every prayer.

أَنَّ أُمَّ حَبِيبَةَ بِنْتَ جَحْشٍ اسْتُحِيضَتْ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ وَكَانَتْ امْرَأَةَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ فَسَأَلَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ ذَلِكَ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّمَا هَذَا عِرْقٌ وَلَيْسَتْ بِحَيْضَةٍ فَاغْتَسِلِي وَصَلِّي قَالَ فَكَانَتْ تَغْتَسِلُ عِنْدَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ

[Machine] She said, Umm Habibah bint Jahsh asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, "I have istihadah (prolonged menstruation). He said, "That is only a vein (problem), so take a bath and then perform prayer." So she used to take a bath for every prayer. Ibn Shihab said, "The Prophet ﷺ did not command her to take a bath for every prayer. She did it on her own."
