281. It was reported from Az-Zuhri, from ‘Urwah bin Az-Zubair, he said: “Fātimah bint Abī Ḥubaish told him that she asked Asmā’,” — or Asmā’ told him that Fātimah bint Abī Ḥubaish asked her — “to
ask the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ (about Istiḥādah], so he commanded her to sit (not pray) the number of days that she used to sit (for her menstruation), then perform Ghusl.” (Da’if)
Abū Dāwūd said: This was also reported by Qatādah, from ‘Urwah bin Az-Zubair, from Zainab bint Umm Salamah; that Umm Ḥabībah bint Jahsh had Istiḥādah, so the Prophet ﷺ commanded her to leave the prayer during the days of her (regular) period. She should then perform Ghusl and pray.
Abū Dāwūd said: Qatādah did not hear any narration from ‘Urwah. And Ibn ‘Uyaynah added in the Hadīth of Az-Zuhri: “From ‘Amrah, from ‘Aishah, that she said: ‘Umm Ḥabībah used to have Istiḥādah, so she asked the Prophet ﷺ about that. He commanded her to leave the prayer during the days of her (regular) period.”
Abū Dāwūd said: This is a mistake on the part of Ibn ‘Uyaynah. This is not in the narrations of the Huffāz from Az-Zuhri, only what was narrated by Suhail bin Ṣāliḥ.[1]
Abū Dāwūd said: Al-Ḥumaidī reported this Hadīth from Ibn ‘Uyaynah, and he did not mention in it: “leave the prayer during the days of her (regular) period.” Qamīr bint ‘Amr, the wife of Masrūq reported from ‘Aishah that she said: “The woman suffering from Istiḥādah should leave praying
during the days of her (regular) period) and then perform Ghusl.”
‘Abdur-Rahmān bin Al-Qāsim (in his report of it) said, from his father, that the Prophet ﷺ commanded her (i.e., Fāṭimah bint Abī Ḥubaish) to leave the prayer the length of her (regular) period. Abū Bishr Ja‘far bin Abī Waḥshiyyah reported (a version) from ‘Ikrimah, from the Prophet ﷺ. He said: “Umm Ḥabībah bint Jahsh suffered from Istihādah...” and he mentioned similarly.
Sharik reported from Abū Al-Yaqzān, from ‘Adī bin Thābit, from his father, from his grandfather from the Prophet ﷺ: “The woman who suffers from Istihādah should leave the prayers during the days of her (regular) period, then perform Ghusl and pray.”
Al-‘Alā’ bin Al-Musayyab reported from Al-Ḥakam, from Abū Ja‘far who said: “Sawdah had Istihādah, so the Prophet ﷺ commanded her, when her days (of regular period) were over, to perform Ghusl and pray.”
And Sa‘eed bin Jubair reported from both ‘Ali, and Ibn ‘Abbās, that the woman with Istihādah should sit (without praying) during the days of (her regular) period. This has also been reported from ‘Ammār, the freed slave of Banū Ḥāshim, and Talq bin Ḥabīb from Ibn ‘Abbās. And similarly, it has been reported from Ma‘qil Al-Khath‘amī, from ‘Ali, and also from Ash-Sha‘bi, from Qamīr the
wife of Masrūq, from 'Āishah.
Abū Dāwūd said: This is the saying of Al-Ḥasan, Sa'eed bin Al-Musayyab, 'Aṭā', Makhūl, Ibrāhīm, Sālim, and Al-Qāsim: The woman who suffers from Istiḥādah should leave the prayers during the days of her period.
