[694] 16 - (302) Thâbit narrated from Anas, that among the Jews, when a woman menstruated, they would not eat with her or stay with her in their houses. The Companions of the Prophet ﷺ asked the Prophet ﷺ (about that), and Allāh, the Mighty and Sublime, revealed: "They ask you concerning menstruation. Say: “That is an Adha (a harmful thing), therefore, keep away from women during menses...” until the end of the Verse.[1] The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “Do everything except intercourse.” News of that reached the Jews and they said: “This man does not want to leave any of our affairs, but he differs from us therein.” Usaid bin Ḥuḏair and ‘Abbād bin Bishr came and said: “O Messenger of Allāh, the Jews are saying such and such. Why don’t we have intercourse with them (the women)?” The face of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ changed until we thought that he was angry with them, but when they went out, a gift of milk was sent to the Prophet ﷺ. He sent someone to bring them back and gave them (some of that milk) to drink, and they knew that he was not angry with them.

باب اصنعوا كل شيء إلا النكاح 16 - (302) وَحَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ الْيَهُودَ كَانُوا إِذَا حَاضَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ فِيهِمْ لَمْ يُؤَاكِلُوهَا، وَلَمْ يُجَامِعُوهُنَّ فِي الْبُيُوتِ فَسَأَلَ أَصْحَابُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ تَعَالَى {وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الْمَحِيضِ قُلْ هُوَ أَذًى فَاعْتَزِلُوا النِّسَاءَ فِي الْمَحِيضِ} [البقرة: 222] إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «اصْنَعُوا كُلَّ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا النِّكَاحَ» فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ الْيَهُودَ، فَقَالُوا: مَا يُرِيدُ هَذَا الرَّجُلُ أَنْ يَدَعَ مِنْ أَمْرِنَا شَيْئًا إِلَّا خَالَفَنَا فِيهِ، فَجَاءَ أُسَيْدُ بْنُ حُضَيْرٍ، وَعَبَّادُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ فَقَالَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّ الْيَهُودَ تَقُولُ: كَذَا وَكَذَا، فَلَا نُجَامِعُهُنَّ؟ فَتَغَيَّرَ وَجْهُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنْ قَدْ وَجَدَ عَلَيْهِمَا، فَخَرَجَا فَاسْتَقْبَلَهُمَا هَدِيَّةٌ مِنْ لَبَنٍ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَرْسَلَ فِي آثَارِهِمَا فَسَقَاهُمَا، فَعَرَفَا أَنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ عَلَيْهِمَا
