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."  

أَنَّ امْرَأَةً سَأَلَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَنْ غُسْلِهَا مِنَ الْمَحِيضِ فَأَمَرَهَا كَيْفَ تَغْتَسِلُ قَالَ خُذِي فِرْصَةً مِنْ مِسْكٍ فَتَطَهَّرِي بِهَا قَالَتْ كَيْفَ أَتَطَهَّرُ قَالَ تَطَهَّرِي بِهَا قَالَتْ كَيْفَ قَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ تَطَهَّرِي فَاجْتَبَذْتُهَا إِلَىَّ فَقُلْتُ تَتَبَّعِي بِهَا أَثَرَ الدَّمِ  

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.  

سَأَلَتِ امْرَأَةٌ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَيْفَ تَغْتَسِلُ مِنْ حَيْضَتِهَا قَالَ فَذَكَرَتْ أَنَّهُ عَلَّمَهَا كَيْفَ تَغْتَسِلُ ثُمَّ تَأْخُذُ فِرْصَةً مِنْ مِسْكٍ فَتَطَهَّرُ بِهَا قَالَتْ كَيْفَ أَتَطَهَّرُ بِهَا قَالَ تَطَهَّرِي بِهَا سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَاسْتَتَرَ وَأَشَارَ لَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ بِيَدِهِ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ قَالَ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ وَاجْتَذَبْتُهَا إِلَىَّ وَعَرَفْتُ مَا أَرَادَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ تَتَبَّعِي بِهَا أَثَرَ الدَّمِ وَقَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ فِي رِوَايَتِهِ فَقُلْتُ تَتَبَّعِي بِهَا آثَارَ الدَّمِ  

[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.'"  

أَنَّ امْرَأَةً أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَسَأَلَتْهُ عَنْ غُسْلِ الْحَيْضِ فَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَغْتَسِلَ بِمَاءٍ وَسِدْرٍ وَتَأْخُذُ فِرْصَةً فَتَوَضَّأَ بِهَا وَتَطْهُرَ بِهَا قَالَتْ كَيْفَ أَتَطَهَّرُ بِهَا؟ قَالَ «تَطَهَّرِي بِهَا» قَالَتْ كَيْفَ أَتَطَهَّرُ بِهَا؟ فَاسْتَتَرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِيَدِهِ وَقَالَ « سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ اطَّهَّرِي بِهَا» قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَاجْتَذَبْتُ الْمَرْأَةَ وَقُلْتُ تَتْبَعِينَ بِهَا أَثَرَ الدَّمِ  

"Take a piece of cloth perfumed with musk and purify yourself with it." She said: "How should I purify myself with it?" He covered his face then said: "Subhan Allah! Purify yourself with it." 'Aishah said: "I took the woman aside and said: 'Wipe away the traces of blood with it.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 251)  

أَنَّ امْرَأَةً سَأَلْتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَنْ غُسْلِهَا مِنَ الْمَحِيضِ؟ فَأَخْبَرَهَا كَيْفَ تَغْتَسِلُ ثُمَّ قَالَ «خُذِي فِرْصَةً مِنْ مِسْكٍ فَتَطَهَّرِي بِهَا» قَالَتْ وَكَيْفَ أَتَطَهَّرُ بِهَا؟ فَاسْتَتَرَ كَذَا ثُمَّ قَالَ «سُبْحَانَ اللهِ تَطَهَّرِي بِهَا» قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَجَذَبْتُ الْمَرْأَةَ وَقُلَتُ تَتَّبِعِينَ بِهَا أَثَرَ الدَّمِ
