314. Narrated 'Āishah رضي الله عنها A woman asked the Prophet ﷺ about the bath which is taken after finishing from the menses. The Prophet ﷺ told her what to do and said, "Purify yourself with a piece of cloth scented with musk." The woman asked, "How shall I purify myself with it?" He said, "Subhān Allāh! Purify yourself (with it)." I pulled her to myself and said, "Rub the place soiled with blood with it."
314 - حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ صَفِيَّةَ، عَنْ أُمِّهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً سَأَلَتِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ غُسْلِهَا مِنَ المَحِيضِ، فَأَمَرَهَا كَيْفَ تَغْتَسِلُ، قَالَ: «خُذِي فِرْصَةً مِنْ مَسْكٍ، فَتَطَهَّرِي بِهَا» قَالَتْ: كَيْفَ أَتَطَهَّرُ؟ قَالَ: «تَطَهَّرِي بِهَا»، قَالَتْ: كَيْفَ؟، قَالَ: «سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ، تَطَهَّرِي» فَاجْتَبَذْتُهَا إِلَيَّ، فَقُلْتُ: تَتَبَّعِي بِهَا أَثَرَ الدَّمِ
