Hadith of Umm Habibah bint Jahsh (may Allah be pleased with her)

حَدِيثُ أُمِّ حَبِيبَةَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ (١)، ٢٧٤٤٥ - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ الْحَرَّانِيُّ، عَنْ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّ حَبِيبَةَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ أَنَّهَا اسْتُحِيضَتْ فَسَأَلَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " فَأَمَرَهَا بِالْغُسْلِ عِنْدَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ " وَإِنْ كَانَتْ لَتَخْرُجُ مِنَ الْمِرْكَنِ وَقَدْ عَلَتْ حُمْرَةُ الدَّمِ عَلَى الْمَاءِ فَتُصَلِّي (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Umm Habibah (may Allah be pleased with her) that once she presented herself before the Prophet (ﷺ) and complained about continuous menstrual bleeding. The Prophet (ﷺ) instructed her to perform ghusl at the time of every prayer. Thus, when she would come out of the tub, the water would have become predominantly red, yet she would perform the prayer. He said to her, "This is blood from a vein, so observe: when the time of your menstrual period comes, do not perform the prayer, and when that period passes, consider yourself pure, perform purification, and continue to pray until the next period."

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عَمْرَةَ،، ، عَنْ أُمِّ حَبِيبَةَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ، قَالَتْ: اسْتُحِضْتُ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ، فَاشْتَكَيْتُ ذَلِكَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " لَيْسَتْ تِلْكَ بِالْحَيْضَةِ وَلَكِنْ عِرْقٌ فَاغْتَسِلِي " " فَكَانَتْ تَغْتَسِلُ عِنْدَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ، فَكَانَتْ تَغْتَسِلُ فِي الْمِرْكَنِ فَتَرَى (١) صُفْرَةَ الدَّمِ فِي الْمِرْكَنِ " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Umm Habibah (may Allah be pleased with her) that once she came to the service of the Prophet (ﷺ) and complained about the continuous flow of menstrual blood. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to her: "This is not menstruation, it is blood from a vein, so you should perform ghusl (ritual bath)." Thus, she used to perform ghusl at the time of every prayer, and when she would come out of the tub, we would see the color of the water as red.
