English translation

369. It was narrated that Anas said: "When one of their womenfolk menstruated, the Jews would not eat or drink with them, or mix with them in their houses. They (the Companions) asked the Prophet of Allāh ﷺ about that, and Allāh, the Mighty and Sublime, revealed the Āyah: They ask you concerning menstruation. Say: "That is an Adha (a harmful thing)."[2] So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ commanded them to eat and drink with them (menstruating women) and to mix with them in their houses, and to do everything with them except intercourse. The Jews said: 'The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ does not leave anything of our affairs except he goes against it.' Usaid bin Ḥudair and 'Abbād bin Bishr went and told the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and they said: 'Should we have intercourse with them when they are menstruating?' The expression of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ changed greatly until we thought that he was angry with them, and they left. Then the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ received a gift of milk, so he sent someone to bring them back and he gave them some to drink, so we knew that he was not angry with them." (Ṣaḥīḥ)

٣٦٩ - أَخْبَرَنَا ‌إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا ‌سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ ‌ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ ‌أَنَسٍ، قَالَ: «كَانَتِ الْيَهُودُ إِذَا حَاضَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ مِنْهُمْ لَمْ يُؤَاكِلُوهُنَّ، وَلَا يُشَارِبُوهُنَّ، وَلَا يُجَامِعُوهُنَّ فِي الْبُيُوتِ، فَسَأَلُوا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: {وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الْمَحِيضِ قُلْ هُوَ أَذًى} .. الْآيَةَ؛ فَأَمَرَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يُؤَاكِلُوهُنَّ، وَيُشَارِبُوهُنَّ، وَيُجَامِعُوهُنَّ فِي الْبُيُوتِ، وَأَنْ يَصْنَعُوا بِهِنَّ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ مَا خَلَا الْجِمَاعَ. فَقَالَتِ الْيَهُودُ: مَا يَدَعُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَيْئًا مِنْ أَمْرِنَا، إِلَّا خَالَفَنَا، فَقَامَ أُسَيْدُ بْنُ حُضَيْرٍ وَعَبَّادُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ، فَأَخْبَرَا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَا: أَنُجَامِعُهُنَّ فِي الْمَحِيضِ؟ فَتَمَعَّرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَمَعُّرًا شَدِيدًا حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ قَدْ غَضِبَ، فَقَامَا، فَاسْتَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ هَدِيَّةَ لَبَنٍ، فَبَعَثَ فِي آثَارِهِمَا، فَرَدَّهُمَا فَسَقَاهُمَا؛ فَعُرِفَ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَغْضَبْ عَلَيْهِمَا».
