288. ‘Amr bin Al-Ĥārith reported from Ibn Shihāb, from ‘Urwah bin Az-Zubair and ‘Amrah bint ‘Abdur-Raḥmān, from ‘Āishah the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, who said: “Umm Ḥabībah — the sister-in-law of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and wife of ‘Abdur-Raḥmān bin ‘Awf — suffered from Istiḥādah for seven years. She asked the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ about that, so he replied: ‘This is not menstruation, rather it is (from) a vein, so perform Ghusl and pray.’” ‘Āishah said: “So she would perform Ghusl in a tub, in the room of her sister Zainab bint Jahsh, until the redness of the blood would discolor the water.” (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Arabic text

288 - حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَقِيلٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ الْمُرَادِيُّ قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، وَعَمْرَةَ بِنْتِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّ أُمَّ حَبِيبَةَ بِنْتَ جَحْشٍ خَتَنَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَتَحْتَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ اسْتُحِيضَتْ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ، فَاسْتَفْتَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «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.
