حديث عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: كَانَتْ إِحْدَانَا إِذَا كَانَتْ حَائِضًا، فَأَرادَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ يُبَاشِرَهَا، أَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَتَّزِرَ فِي فَوْرِ حَيْضَتِهَا، ثُمَّ يُبَاشِرُهَا قَالَتْ: وَأَيُّكُمْ يَمْلِك إِرْبَهُ كَمَا كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَمْلِكُ إِرْبَهُ.
Whenever Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم wanted to fondle anyone of us during her periods (menses), he used to order her to put on an Izâr and start fondling her. ‘Âisha رضى الله عنها added, “None of you could control his sexual desire as the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم could.” ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 299, Vol. 1 )
حديث مَيْمُونَةَ، قَالَتْ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يُبَاشِرَ امْرَأَةً مِنْ نِسَائِهِ، أَمَرَهَا فَاتَّزَرَتْ وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ.

3/2. Chapter:
حديث أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، قَالَتْ: بَيْنَا أَنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مُضْطَجِعَةٌ فِي خَمِيلَةٍ، حِضْتُ، فَانْسَلَلْتُ، فَأَخَذْتُ ثِيَابَ حَيْضَتِي؛ فَقَالَ: أَنُفِسْتِ قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ فَدَعَانِي فَاضْطَجَعْتُ مَعَهُ فِي الْخَمِيلَةِ.
While I was lying with the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم under a woollen sheet, I got my menses. I slipped away and put on the clothes for menses. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “Have you got your menses?” I replied, “Yes.” He called me and I slept with him under the woollen sheet. ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 320, Vol. 1 )
حديث أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، قَالَتْ: وَكُنْتُ أَغْتَسِلُ أَنَا وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ مِنْ إِنَاءٍ وَاحِدٍ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ.
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and I used to take the bath of Janâba [1] from a single pot. ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 319, Vol. 1. )

3/3. Chapter:
حديث عَائِشَةَ، زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، قَالَتْ: وَإِنْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَيُدْخِلُ عَلَىَّ رَأْسَهُ وَهُوَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فأُرَجِّلُهُ، وَكَانَ لَا يَدْخُلُ الْبيْتَ إِلَاّ لِحَاجَةٍ إِذَا كَانَ مُعْتَكِفًا.
Allâh’s Messenger ﷺ used to let his head in (the house) while he was in the mosque and I would comb and oil his hair. When in I’tikâf he used not to enter the house except for a need [1]. ( Sahih Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 246, Vol. 3 )
[1] Such need may be to answer the call of nature and performing ablution. Scholars differ as to whether it is permissible also for a Mu’takif to eat or drink outside the mosque. ( Fath Al-Bâri, Vol. 5, P. 178 ).
حديث عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُبَاشِرُنِي وَأَنَا حَائِضٌ، وَكَانَ يُخْرِجُ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ وَهُوَ مُعْتَكِفٌ فَأَغْسِلُهُ وَأَنَا حَائِضٌ.
The Prophet ﷺ used to embrace me during my menses. He also used to let his head out of the mosque while he was in It’ikâf and I would wash it during my menses. ( Sahih Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 247, Vol. 3 )
حديث عَائِشَةَ، حَدَّثَتْ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَتَّكِى فِي حَجْرِي وَأَنَا حَائِضٌ ثُمَّ يَقْرأُ الْقُرْآنَ.
The Prophet ﷺ used to lean on my lap during my menses and then would recite the Qur’ân. ( Sahih Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 296. Vol. 1 )
3/4. Chapter:
حديثُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ رَجُلًا مَذَّاءً فَاسْتَحْيَيْتُ أَنْ أَسْأَلَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَمَرْتُ الْمِقْدَادَ ابْنَ الأَسْوَدِ فَسَأَلَهُ؛ فَقَالَ: فِيهِ الْوُضُوءُ.
I used to get emotional urethral prostatic discharges frequently and felt shy to ask Allâh’s Messenger ﷺ about it. So I requested Al-Miqdâd bin Al-Aswad رضى الله عنه to ask (the Prophet ﷺ) about it. Al-Miqdâd رضى الله عنه asked him and he replied, “One has to perform ablution (after it).” ( Sahih Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 178, Vol. 1 ) for him to perform ablution (before sleeping).
3/6. Chapter:
حديث عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَنَامَ وَهُوَ جُنُبٌ غَسَلَ فَرْجَهُ وَتَوَضَّأَ لِلصَّلَاةِ.
Whenever the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم intended to sleep while he was Junub, he used to wash his private parts and perform ablution like that for the Salât (prayer). ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 286, Vol. 1)
حديث ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَيَرْقُدُ أَحَدُنَا وَهُوَ جُنُبٌ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، إِذَا تَوَضَّأَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَرْقُدْ وَهُوَ جُنُبٌ.
I asked Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم, “Can anyone of us sleep while he is Junub?” He replied, “Yes, if he performs ablution, he can sleep while he is Junub.” ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 285, Vol. 1)
