Commentary
a. Imâm Abû Abdur Rahmân An-Nasâ'î states that there is no better report than this on this issue, though its chain has broken or missing links (because Ibrâhîm Taymî's hearing from Āishah ﷺ does not exist). A'amash has narrated this Hadîth: Habib bin Thâbit on the authority of Āishah ﷺ chain. But Yahya bin Sa'eed Qattan says this narration and one other similar narration - reported with the same chain (Habib on the authority of Āishah ﷺ) concerning woman having bleeding outside of the menses (called
matrorrhagia) or flow of blood called menorrhagia (Istihâdha) and that she should continue with her prayer even if the blood drips on to her prayer mat - are both unauthentic.
b. Imâm An-Nasâ'î has categorized this Hadîth as having a broken chain, but a narration of Ad-Dâraqutnî has also been narrated with the chain traced all the way back to its source, without the names of any narrators missing from it (lit. Muttasil). Hence, this Hadîth is a conclusive proof.
c. This report indicates that even touching one's wife with sexual desire does not nullify one's ablution.
