213. It was narrated that 'Aishah said: Fāṭimah bint Abī Ḥubaish came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and said: "I am a woman who suffers from Istihādah (non-menstrual vaginal bleeding) and I never become pure. Should I stop praying?" He said: "No, that is a vein, it is not menstruation. When your period comes, stop praying, and when it goes, wash the blood from yourself and pray." (Saḥīh)
212 - أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدَةُ وَوَكِيعٌ وَأَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالُوا: حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: جَاءَتْ فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ أَبِي حُبَيْشٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَتْ: إِنِّي امْرَأَةٌ أُسْتَحَاضُ فَلَا أَطْهُرُ، أَفَأَدَعُ الصَّلَاةَ؟ قَالَ: «لَا. إِنَّمَا ذَلِكَ عِرْقٌ وَلَيْسَ بِالْحَيْضَةِ، فَإِذَا أَقْبَلَتِ الْحَيْضَةُ فَدَعِي الصَّلَاةَ، وَإِذَا أَدْبَرَتْ فَاغْسِلِي عَنْكِ الدَّمَ وَصَلِّي»

In the preceding three narrations the term Quru' [lit. period] conveys the meaning of menses. And this is what Imām An-Nasā'ī intended to make clear - that Quru' signifies menses. Imām Ash-Shafī' maintains that Quru' means purity. Lexically, the term Quru' is used to convey both of these meanings. Depending on context, either of the two senses can be intended.
