English translation

314. It was reported from 'Āishah, that Asmā' visited the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and said: "O Messenger of Allāh! How does one of us wash herself after she finishes her menses?" He replied: "She should take Sidr[1] and water, then perform Wudū'. She should then wash her hair and rub it until the water reaches the roots of her hair. She should then pour water over her body, and then take her pad (Firṣah)[1] and cleanse herself with it." She said: "O Messenger of Allāh! How should I cleanse myself with it?" 'Āishah said: "I understood what the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was referring to, so I said to her: 'Follow the traces of blood (with the pad).'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)

314 - حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، أَخْبَرَنَا سَلَّامُ بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مُهَاجِرٍ، عَنْ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ شَيْبَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: دَخَلَتْ أَسْمَاءُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، كَيْفَ تَغْتَسِلُ إِحْدَانَا إِذَا طَهُرَتْ مِنَ الْمَحِيضِ؟ قَالَ: «تَأْخُذُ سِدْرَهَا وَمَاءَهَا فَتَوَضَّأُ، ثُمَّ تَغْسِلُ رَأْسَهَا، وَتَدْلُكُهُ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ الْمَاءُ أُصُولَ شَعْرِهَا، ثُمَّ تُفِيضُ عَلَى جَسَدِهَا، ثُمَّ تَأْخُذُ فِرْصَتَهَا فَتَطَّهَّرُ بِهَا» قَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، كَيْفَ أَتَطَهَّرُ بِهَا. قَالَتْ: عَائِشَةُ فَعَرَفْتُ الَّذِي يَكْنِي عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ لَهَا: تَتَبَّعِينَ بِهَا آثَارَ الدَّمِ
