218. It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "Fāṭimah bint Abī Hubaish suffered from Istihādah and she asked the Prophet ﷺ: 'O Messenger of Allāh, I suffer from Istihādah and I do not become pure; should I stop praying?' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'That is a vein and is not menstruation. When your period comes, stop praying, and when it goes wash the traces of blood from yourself and perform Wudū'. That is a vein and is not menstruation.'" It was said to him: "What about Ghusl?' He ﷺ said: "No one doubts that." Abū 'Abdur-Raḥmān said: "I do not know anyone who mentioned 'and perform Wudū' in this Hadīth except Ḥammād bin Zaid, for some others have reported it from Hishām, and they did not mention 'and perform Wudū' in it." (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Arabic text

217 - أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَبِيبِ بْنِ عَرَبِيٍّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ وَهُوَ ابْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: اسْتُحِيضَتْ فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ أَبِي حُبَيْشٍ فَسَأَلَتِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنِّي أُسْتَحَاضُ فَلَا أَطْهُرُ، أَفَأَدَعُ الصَّلَاةَ؟ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّمَا ذَلِكَ عِرْقٌ وَلَيْسَتْ بِالْحَيْضَةِ، فَإِذَا أَقْبَلَتِ الْحَيْضَةُ فَدَعِي الصَّلَاةَ، وَإِذَا أَدْبَرَتْ فَاغْسِلِي عَنْكِ أَثَرَ الدَّمِ وَتَوَضَّئِي؛ فَإِنَّمَا ذَلِكَ عِرْقٌ وَلَيْسَتْ بِالْحَيْضَةِ». قِيلَ لَهُ: فَالْغُسْلُ؟ قَالَ: «ذَلِكَ لَا يَشُكُّ فِيهِ أَحَدٌ» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ: لَا أَعْلَمُ أَحَدًا ذَكَرَ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ «وَتَوَضَّئِي» غَيْرُ حَمَّادِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، وَقَدْ رَوَى غَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ هِشَامٍ، وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ فِيهِ «وَتَوَضَّئِي»
