English translation
313. It was reported from Sulaimān bin Suḥaim, from Umayyah bint Abī Aṣ-Ṣalt, from a woman from the tribe of Banu Ghifār — whom she named for me[2] — that she said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ let me ride on the back of his saddle. So, by Allāh, the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ continued (riding) until morning, then sat the camel down and descended from the saddle. Unexpectedly (I saw) my blood (on it), and that was the first menses that I had. So I secured myself on the camel, and was embarrassed (to get down). When the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ saw my state, and the blood, he said: 'What is the matter with you? Perhaps you have had your menses?' I said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Then take care of yourself, then take a container with water, and throw some salt in it and wash the area of the saddle that has been touched by the blood. Then return to your riding place (on the saddle).'" She said: "So when the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ captured Khaibar, he distributed some of the spoils of war to us." And she would never wash herself after menses except that she would put some salt in the water. And she also advised that her Ghusl after death be the same. (Da'if)
