129. ‘Aishah narrated: “Umm Ḥabībah bint Jahsh sought a verdict from Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ. She said ‘I suffer from persistent bleeding such that I do not become pure. Shall I give up the Ṣalāt?’ He said: ‘No, that is only a blood vessel. So perform Ghusl then pray.’ So she would perform Ghusl for each prayer.” (Saḥīh)
Qutaibah said: Al-Laith said: Ibn Shihāb (Az-Zuhri; one of the narrators) did not mention that Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ ordered Umm Ḥabībah to perform Ghusl for each prayer, but that was something that she did on her own.
Abū ‘Eisā said: This Hadīth was reported from Az-Zuhri from ‘Amrah from ‘Aishah, saying: “Umm Ḥabībah bint Jahsh sought a verdict [from Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ].”
Some of the people of knowledge said that Al-Mustahādah should perform Ghusl for each prayer.
And Al-Awzā‘ī has narrated it from Az-Zuhri, from ‘Urwah and ‘Amrah, from ‘Aishah.
