2165. Anas bin Mālik narrated: “When a Jewish woman would be in her menses, they would bar her from the house, and they would not eat with her, drink with her, or interact in the house with her. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was asked about that, at which Allāh revealed: ‘They ask you regarding menses. Say: That is an harm, so abstain from women in their menses...’ until the end of the Verse.[1] The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ then said: ‘Interact with them in their houses, and do everything except intercourse.’ The Jews then said: ‘This person does not leave any affair of ours except that he differs with us in it!’ So Usaid bin Hudaīr and ‘Abbād bin Bishr came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and said: ‘O Messenger of Allāh, the Jews have said such and such, so should we not also have intercourse with them during their menses?’ At this, the face of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ changed (in anger), until we thought that he was angry with them. So they left, and as they were leaving, a person arrived with a gift of some milk for the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. He (the Prophet ﷺ) then called for them, so we knew that he was not angry at them.” (Saḥīḥ)

2165 - حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا ثَابِتٌ الْبُنَانِيُّ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ الْيَهُودَ كَانَتْ إِذَا حَاضَتْ مِنْهُمُ امْرَأَةٌ أَخْرَجُوهَا مِنَ الْبَيْتِ، وَلَمْ يُؤَاكِلُوهَا وَلَمْ يُشَارِبُوهَا، وَلَمْ يُجَامِعُوهَا فِي الْبَيْتِ فَسُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى {وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ المَحِيضِ، قُلْ: هُوَ أَذًى فَاعْتَزِلُوا النِّسَاءَ فِي الْمَحِيضِ} [البقرة: 222] إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «جَامِعُوهُنَّ فِي الْبُيُوتِ، وَاصْنَعُوا كُلَّ شَيْءٍ غَيْرَ النِّكَاحِ» فَقَالَتِ الْيَهُودُ: مَا يُرِيدُ هَذَا الرَّجُلُ أَنْ يَدَعَ شَيْئًا مِنْ أَمْرِنَا إِلَّا خَالَفَنَا فِيهِ، فَجَاءَ أُسَيْدُ بْنُ حُضَيْرٍ، وَعَبَّادُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ الْيَهُودَ تَقُولُ: كَذَا وَكَذَا، أَفَلَا نَنْكِحُهُنَّ فِي الْمَحِيضِ، فَتَمَعَّرَ وَجْهُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنْ قَدْ وَجَدَ عَلَيْهِمَا، فَخَرَجَا، فَاسْتَقْبَلَتْهُمَا هَدِيَّةٌ مِنْ لَبَنٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَبَعَثَ فِي آثَارِهِمَا، فَظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَجِدْ عَلَيْهِمَا
