English translation
301. Sumayyī, the freed-slave of Abū Bakr, was sent by Al-Qa'aqā' and Zaid bin Aslam to Sa'eed bin Al-Musayyab in order to ask him about the Ghusl that a woman with Istiḥādah performs. He (Sa'eed) replied: "She should perform Ghusl from Zuhr to Zuhr, and perform Wudū' for every prayer (in between). If the bleeding becomes severe, she should tie a cloth around her private area.” (Saḥīḥ) Abū Dāwūd said: It has been related from Ibn ‘Umar and Anas bin Mālik that they said: “She should perform Ghusl from Zuhr to Zuhr”. And similar has been reported from Dāwūd and ‘Āsim from Ash-Sha’bī, from a wife of his, from Qamīr, from ‘Āishah, except that Dāwūd said: “Every day,” while in the narration of ‘Āsim it was: “At Zuhr.” And this is the saying of Sālim bin ‘Abdullāh, Al-Ḥasan and ‘Aṭā’. Abū Dāwūd said: Mālik (bin Anas) said: “I think that the narration of Ibn Al-Musayyab: ‘...From purity (Tuhr) to purity (Tuhr),’” has been changed by some narrators to: ‘...Zuhr to Zuhr,’ so they made a mistake in (narrating) it.” Miswar bin ‘Abdul-Mālik bin Sa’eed bin ‘Abdur-Raḥmān bin Yarbū’ said in it: ‘From Tuhr to Tuhr,’ but the narrators changed it to: “From Zuhr to Zuhr.”
