حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ حُرَيْثٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ مُوسَى، عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ السُّكَّرِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ، عَنْ مِقْسَمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " إِذَا كَانَ دَمًا أَحْمَرَ فَدِينَارٌ وَإِذَا كَانَ دَمًا أَصْفَرَ فَنِصْفُ دِينَارٍ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ الْكَفَّارَةِ فِي إِتْيَانِ الْحَائِضِ قَدْ رُوِيَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ مَوْقُوفًا وَمَرْفُوعًا . وَهُوَ قَوْلُ بَعْضِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ . وَبِهِ يَقُولُ أَحْمَدُ وَإِسْحَاقُ . وَقَالَ ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ يَسْتَغْفِرُ رَبَّهُ وَلاَ كَفَّارَةَ عَلَيْهِ . وَقَدْ رُوِيَ نَحْوُ قَوْلِ ابْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ عَنْ بَعْضِ التَّابِعِينَ مِنْهُمْ سَعِيدُ بْنُ جُبَيْرٍ وَإِبْرَاهِيمُ النَّخَعِيُّ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ عَامَّةِ عُلَمَاءِ الأَمْصَارِ .

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 137
This Hadith gives two amounts connected to the color of blood. Ibn Abbas narrated that the Prophet said when the blood is red, then a dinar; and when the blood is yellow, then half a dinar. The surrounding commentary says this report about expiation for intercourse with a menstruating woman has been narrated both as mawquf and marfu. It also mentions that some people of knowledge took this view, while Ibn al-Mubarak said the person should seek forgiveness from his Lord and no expiation is due. The key point in the Hadith text itself is the stated difference between a dinar and half a dinar.
What we learn from this hadith
- The narration connects the amount to whether the blood is red or yellow.
- The commentary records that scholars discussed the report in different ways.
- Seeking forgiveness is mentioned in the commentary as a view of Ibn al-Mubarak.
