214. It was narrated from 'Aishah that a woman who suffered from Istihādah during the time of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was told that it was a stubborn vein (i.e., one that would not stop bleeding). She was told to delay Zuhr and bring Asr forward, and to perform one Ghusl for both, and to delay Maghrib and bring Ishā forward, and to perform one Ghusl for both, and to perform one Ghusl for Ṣubh. (Saḥīh)
213 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ قَالَ: شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا: أَنَّ امْرَأَةً مُسْتَحَاضَةً عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قِيلَ لَهَا: «أَنَّهُ عِرْقٌ عَانِدٌ، فَأُمِرَتْ أَنْ تُؤَخِّرَ الظُّهْرَ وَتُعَجِّلَ الْعَصْرَ وَتَغْتَسِلَ لَهُمَا غُسْلًا وَاحِدًا، وَتُؤَخِّرَ الْمَغْرِبَ وَتُعَجِّلَ الْعِشَاءَ وَتَغْتَسِلَ لَهُمَا غُسْلًا وَاحِدًا، وَتَغْتَسِلَ لِصَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ غُسْلًا وَاحِدًا»

1. Since the vein here has been called "Aanid," some scholars understood it to mean a ceaseless flow. This meaning is also appropriate. 2. In this Hadīth the woman continuing to have a flow of blood after her days (of menstruation), or having an exuberance of blood (in Arabic: Mustahāda), has been advised to take a bath thrice daily. However, this is desirable and voluntary, and is not compulsory. This is because in some narrations the following phrasing also occurs: "If you are capable of doing so." (Sunan Abū Dāwūd: 287) That being said, ablution for her is, to be sure, compulsory.
