[750] 61 - (...) It was narrated from Ṣafiyah and she narrates from 'Āishah that Asmâ' asked the Prophet ﷺ about Ghusl following menses. He said: "Let one of you take her water and Sidr (lote tree) leaves and clean herself well, then let her pour water over her head and rub it vigorously, so that it will reach the roots of her hair. Then let her pour the water over herself, then take a piece of cloth scented with musk and purify herself." Asmâ' said: "How should she purify herself?" He said: "Subhân-Allâh (Glorious is Allâh)! Purify yourself with it." 'Āishah said - as if she whispered it to her - "Follow the traces of blood." And she asked him about Ghusl in the case of Janâbah. He said: "Let her take water and clean herself well - or clean herself thoroughly - then let her pour water over her head and rub it so that it reaches the roots of the hair, then let her pour water over herself." 'Āishah said: "How good the woman of the Anṣâr were! They did not let shyness prevent them from understanding their religion properly."

61 - (332) حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَابْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ الْمُهَاجِرِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ صَفِيَّةَ، تُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ أَسْمَاءَ سَأَلَتِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ غُسْلِ الْمَحِيضِ؟ فَقَالَ: «تَأْخُذُ إِحْدَاكُنَّ مَاءَهَا وَسِدْرَتَهَا، فَتَطَهَّرُ فَتُحْسِنُ الطُّهُورَ، ثُمَّ تَصُبُّ عَلَى رَأْسِهَا فَتَدْلُكُهُ دَلْكًا شَدِيدًا حَتَّى تَبْلُغَ شُؤُونَ رَأْسِهَا، ثُمَّ تَصُبُّ عَلَيْهَا الْمَاءَ، ثُمَّ تَأْخُذُ فِرْصَةً مُمَسَّكَةً فَتَطَهَّرُ بِهَا» فَقَالَتْ أَسْمَاءُ: وَكَيْفَ تَطَهَّرُ بِهَا؟ فَقَالَ: «سُبْحَانَ اللهِ، تَطَهَّرِينَ بِهَا» فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: كَأَنَّهَا تُخْفِي ذَلِكَ تَتَبَّعِينَ أَثَرَ الدَّمِ، وَسَأَلَتْهُ عَنْ غُسْلِ الْجَنَابَةِ؟ فَقَالَ: «تَأْخُذُ مَاءً فَتَطَهَّرُ فَتُحْسِنُ الطُّهُورَ أَوْ تُبْلِغُ الطُّهُورَ، ثُمَّ تَصُبُّ عَلَى رَأْسِهَا فَتَدْلُكُهُ حَتَّى تَبْلُغَ شُؤُونَ رَأْسِهَا، ثُمَّ تُفِيضُ عَلَيْهَا الْمَاءَ» فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: " نِعْمَ النِّسَاءُ نِسَاءُ الْأَنْصَارِ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَمْنَعُهُنَّ الْحَيَاءُ أَنْ يَتَفَقَّهْنَ فِي الدِّينِ.
