حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، وَعَبْدَةُ، وَأَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ جَاءَتْ فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ أَبِي حُبَيْشٍ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي امْرَأَةٌ أُسْتَحَاضُ فَلاَ أَطْهُرُ أَفَأَدَعُ الصَّلاَةَ قَالَ " لاَ إِنَّمَا ذَلِكِ عِرْقٌ وَلَيْسَتْ بِالْحَيْضَةِ فَإِذَا أَقْبَلَتِ الْحَيْضَةُ فَدَعِي الصَّلاَةَ وَإِذَا أَدْبَرَتْ فَاغْسِلِي عَنْكِ الدَّمَ وَصَلِّي " . قَالَ أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ فِي حَدِيثِهِ وَقَالَ " تَوَضَّئِي لِكُلِّ صَلاَةٍ حَتَّى يَجِيءَ ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتُ " . قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ عَائِشَةَ جَاءَتْ فَاطِمَةُ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ . وَهُوَ قَوْلُ غَيْرِ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَالتَّابِعِينَ . وَبِهِ يَقُولُ سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ وَمَالِكٌ وَابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ وَالشَّافِعِيُّ أَنَّ الْمُسْتَحَاضَةَ إِذَا جَاوَزَتْ أَيَّامَ أَقْرَائِهَا اغْتَسَلَتْ وَتَوَضَّأَتْ لِكُلِّ صَلاَةٍ .
A'isha Narrated from:
Fatimah Bint Abi-Hubaish Came To The Prophet And Said: 'O Messenger Of Allah! I Am A Woman Who Suffers From Persistent Bleeding And I Do Not Become Clean. Shall I Give Up Salat?' He Said: 'No. That Is Only A Blood Vessel, It Is Not Menstruation. When Your Menstruation Begins Then Leave The Salat. And When It Ends, Then Wash The Blood From You And Perform Salat.
[1] The woman who has irregular bleeding.[1] At-Tirmidhi reported this narration from “Hannād, who narrated it to us from Wakī‘, and ‘Abdah, and Abū Mu‘āwiyah”Reference : Jami` at-Tirmidhi 125In-book reference : Book 1, Hadith 125English translation : Vol. 1, Book 1, Hadith 125
Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 125
This Hadith explains the difference between menstruation and persistent bleeding. Fatimah bint Abi Hubaish asked the Prophet if she should stop praying because she had ongoing bleeding and did not become clean. He said no, and explained that it was only a blood vessel, not menstruation. Then he gave a clear pattern: when menstruation begins, she leaves the prayer; when it ends, she washes the blood from herself and prays. In one wording in the narration, wudu for each prayer is also mentioned. The main teaching is that not every bleeding has the same ruling in the Hadith, and prayer is not left simply because bleeding continues.
What we learn from this hadith
- Persistent bleeding is distinguished from menstruation in this Hadith.
- Prayer is left during menstruation, then resumed after it ends.
- Washing away the blood is part of returning to prayer.
