This Hadith is another short report about istihadah and marital relations. Ikrimah reported from Hamnah daughter of Jahsh that she was a woman with prolonged bleeding, and her husband would have intercourse with her during that period. The wording is brief, so it should be handled with care and not mixed with the separate rulings of menses unless the text says so. The Hadith is useful for readers searching for Hamnah bint Jahsh, prolonged bleeding, and istihadah in Islam. The core point is that the report describes a state of ongoing blood flow called istihadah, not a new story with many added details.
What we learn from this hadith
- Hamnah bint Jahsh is described as having prolonged bleeding.
- The report mentions marital relations during that prolonged bleeding.
- The narration is brief and should not be made to say more than it states.
