Sunan Ibn MajahHadith Number 3073
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ ذَكَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ صَفِيَّةَ فَقُلْنَا قَدْ حَاضَتْ . فَقَالَ " عَقْرَى حَلْقَى مَا أُرَاهَا إِلاَّ حَابِسَتَنَا " . فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهَا قَدْ طَافَتْ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ . قَالَ " فَلاَ إِذًا مُرُوهَا فَلْتَنْفِرْ " .
It was narrated that ‘Aishah said: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) mentioned Safiyyah and we said: ‘She has got her menses.’ He said: ‘ ‘Aqra Halqa!* I think that she has detained us.’ I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, she performed Tawaful-Ifadah on the Day of Sacrifice.’ He said: ‘No then, tell her to depart.’”
[1] The best explanation of this is what Shaikh Safiur-Rahmân Mubârakpuri said in Minnat Al-Mun'im , his commentary on Sahih Muslim : "The meaning of 'Aqra being: 'May Allâh wound her and cause her harm.' And it is said (it means): '(May He) make her barren without children.' And, it is also said: 'She has harmed her people.' And the meaning of Halqa is shaving her hair - and it is the woman's adornment - or, (it means) may she suffer from pain in her throat, or, she sheered her people with her bad fortune, that is, she destroyed them. These are the basic meanings of these two words. Then the Arabs are quick to say things whose reality they do not mean, as they say: 'May Allâh fight him' and 'May your hands be made dirty' and the like."
