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)

313 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الرَّازِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سَلَمَةُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْفَضْلِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ سُحَيْمٍ، عَنْ أُمَيَّةَ بِنْتِ أَبِي الصَّلْتِ، عَنِ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْ بَنِي غِفَارٍ قَدْ سَمَّاهَا لِي قَالَتْ: أَرْدَفَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى حَقِيبَةِ رَحْلِهِ قَالَتْ: فَوَاللَّهِ، لَمْ يَزَلْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى الصُّبْحِ، فَأَنَاخَ وَنَزَلْتُ عَنْ حَقِيبَةِ رَحْلِهِ، فَإِذَا بِهَا دَمٌ مِنِّي فَكَانَتْ أَوَّلُ حَيْضَةٍ حِضْتُهَا قَالَتْ: فَتَقَبَّضْتُ إِلَى النَّاقَةِ وَاسْتَحْيَيْتُ، فَلَمَّا رَأَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا بِي وَرَأَى الدَّمَ قَالَ: «مَا لَكِ لَعَلَّكِ نَفِسْتِ؟» قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ. قَالَ: «فَأَصْلِحِي مِنْ نَفْسِكِ، ثُمَّ خُذِي إِنَاءً مِنْ مَاءٍ، فَاطْرَحِي فِيهِ مِلْحًا، ثُمَّ اغْسِلِي مَا أَصَابَ الْحَقِيبَةَ مِنَ الدَّمِ، ثُمَّ عُودِي لِمَرْكَبِكِ». قَالَتْ: فَلَمَّا فَتَحَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَيْبَرَ رَضَخَ لَنَا مِنَ الفَيْءِ قَالَتْ: وَكَانَتْ لَا تَطَّهَّرُ مِنْ حَيْضَةٍ إِلَّا جَعَلَتْ فِي طَهُورِهَا مِلْحًا، وَأَوْصَتْ بِهِ أَنْ يُجْعَلَ فِي غُسْلِهَا حِينَ مَاتَتْ
