292. Ja'far bin Muḥammad said: "My father told me: 'We came to Jābir bin 'Abdullāh and asked him about the Hajj of the Prophet ﷺ. He narrated: 'The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ set out when there were five (days) remaining in Dhūl-Qa'dah, and we set out with him. When he came to Dhūl-Hulaifah, Asmā' bint 'Umais gave birth to Muḥammad bin Abī Bakr. She sent word to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ asking what she should do. He said: 'Perform Ghusl, bind yourself with a cloth then begin (the Talbiyah for Iḥrām).'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Commentary
Nifās, or postnatal bleeding, signifies the blood that comes forth from a woman immediately after childbirth. While a woman is affected by postnatal bleeding, it is prohibited for her to offer prayer, to observe fasting, to touch the Qur'ān, or to have intercourse. When the bleeding ends, these things become permitted, but only after she takes a purifying bath.
