Umm Habiba b. Jahsh who was the sister-in-law of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the wife of 'Abd al-Rahman b. Auf, remained mustahada for seven years, and she, therefore, asked for the verdict of Shari'ah from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about it The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: This is not menstruation, but (blood from) a vein: so bathe yourself and offer prayer. 'A'isha said: She took a bath in the wash-tub placed in the apartment of her sister Zainab b. Jahsh, till the redness of the blood came over the water. Ibn Shihab said: I narrated it to Abu Bakr b. 'Abd al-Rahman b. al-Harith b. Hisham about it who observed: May Allah have mercy on Hinda! would that she listened to this verdict. By Lord, she wept for not offering prayer.

Umm Habibah, daughter of Jahsh, sister-in-law of Messenger of Allah ﷺ and wife of 'Abd al-Rahman b. 'Awf, had a flow of blood for seven years. She asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: This is not menstruation but only vein; so you should take a bath and pray. 'Aishah said: She used to take bath in a wash-tub in the apartment of her sister Zainab daughter of Jahsh ; the redness of (her) blood dominated the water.

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّ أُمَّ حَبِيبَةَ بِنْتَ جَحْشٍ خَتَنَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَتَحْتَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ اسْتُحِيضَتْ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ فَاسْتَفْتَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ هَذِهِ لَيْسَتْ بِالْحَيْضَةِ وَلَكِنْ هَذَا عِرْقٌ فَاغْتَسِلِي وَصَلِّي قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَكَانَتْ تَغْتَسِلُ فِي مِرْكَنٍ فِي حُجْرَةِ أُخْتِهَا زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ حَتَّى تَعْلُوَ حُمْرَةُ الدَّمِ الْمَاءَ

'Aishah the wife of the Prophet said: "Umm Habibah Jahsh experienced prolonged non-menstrual bleeding for seven years when she was married to 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Awf.

[AI] Aisha, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, heard Umm Habiba bint Jahsh say that she came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while she was experiencing istihada (non-menstrual bleeding) for seven years. She complained about it to him and sought his advice. He told her, "This is not menstruation; rather, it is a vein. So, perform ablution and then pray." Aisha said that Umm Habiba used to perform ablution for every prayer and pray. She would sit in a place of prayer, and the water mixed with blood would rise to her ankle, and then she would pray.

أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ تَقُولُ جَاءَتْ أُمُّ حَبِيبَةَ بِنْتُ جَحْشٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَكَانَتْ اسْتُحِيضَتْ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ فَاشْتَكَتْ ذَلِكَ إِلَيْهِ وَاسْتَفْتَتْهُ فِيهِ فَقَالَ لَهَا «إِنَّ هَذَا لَيْسَ بِالْحَيْضَةِ إِنَّمَا هَذَا عِرْقٌ فَاغْتَسِلِي ثُمَّ صَلِّي» قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ وَكَانَتْ أُمُّ حَبِيبَةَ تَغْتَسِلُ لِكُلِّ صَلَاةٍ وَتُصَلِّي وَكَانَتْ تَجْلِسُ فِي الْمِرْكَنِ فَتَعْلُو حُمْرَةُ الدَّمِ الْمَاءَ ثُمَّ تُصَلِّي

[AI] Abu Kamil's mother, Umm Habibah, sent a message to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying that she experienced istihadah (abnormal bleeding) for seven years and she consulted him about it. He responded that it was not menstruation but rather istihadah, so she should perform ablution and pray. She would then perform ablution for each prayer, pray, and sit on a spot where the redness of the blood would appear, then she would pray.

أَبُو كَامِلٍ أُمُّ حَبِيبٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَكَانَتْ اسْتُحِيضَتْ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ فَاشْتَكَتْ ذَلِكَ إِلَيْهِ وَاسْتَفْتَتْهُ فِيهِ؟ فَقَالَ لَيْسَ هَذَا بِالْحَيْضَةِ وَلَكِنَّ هَذَا عِرْقٌ فَاغْتَسِلِي وَصَلِّي فَكَانَتْ تَغْتَسِلُ لِكُلِّ صَلَاةٍ وَتُصَلِّي وَكَانَتْ تَجْلِسُ فِي مِرْكَنٍ فَتَعْلُو حُمْرَةُ الدَّمِ الْمَاءَ ثُمَّ تُصَلِّي

She used to perform ablution for every prayer, and she used to wash herself in a vessel and see the yellow discharge of blood in it."

اسْتُحِضْتُ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ فَاشْتَكَيْتُ ذَلِكَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لَيْسَتْ تِلْكَ بِالْحَيْضَةِ وَلَكِنْ عِرْقٌ فَاغْتَسِلِي فَكَانَتْ تَغْتَسِلُ عِنْدَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ فَكَانَتْ تَغْتَسِلُ فِي الْمِرْكَنِ فَتَرَى صُفْرَةَ الدَّمِ فِي الْمِرْكَنِ

[AI] She said that Umm Habiba bint Jahsh performed Istihadah while she was under the authority of Abdulrahman bin Auf, her sister Zainab bint Jahsh's husband, for seven years. She complained about it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and he told her, "It is not menstruation, but rather a vein. So, perform the ritual bath and pray." She used to take a bath for every prayer, and she would sit in a different corner from her sister. The blood would appear as drops on the water.

[AI] "I experienced seven years of irregular menstruation, so I complained about it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . The Prophet ﷺ said, 'That is not menstruation, but it is a type of bleeding. So, perform ablution.' She used to perform ablution for every prayer, and she used to wash herself in the sink, and you would see a yellowish discharge in the sink."
