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)
