حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَقِيلٍ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ الْمُرَادِيُّ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ وَعَمْرَةَ بِنْتِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّ أُمَّ حَبِيبَةَ بِنْتَ جَحْشٍ خَتَنَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَتَحْتَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ اسْتُحِيضَتْ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ فَاسْتَفْتَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي ذَلِکَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ هَذِهِ لَيْسَتْ بِالْحَيْضَةِ وَلَکِنْ هَذَا عِرْقٌ فَاغْتَسِلِي وَصَلِّي قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَکَانَتْ تَغْتَسِلُ فِي مِرْکَنٍ فِي حُجْرَةِ أُخْتِهَا زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ حَتَّی تَعْلُوَ حُمْرَةُ الدَّمِ الْمَائَ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 288
Aishah, wife of Prophet ﷺ, said: Umm Habibah, daughter of Jahsh, sister-in-law of Messenger of Allah ﷺ and wife of Abdur-Rahman bin Awf, had a flow of blood for seven years. She asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: This is not menstruation but only vein; so you should take a bath and pray. Aishah said: She used to take bath in a wash-tub in the apartment of her sister Zainab daughter of Jahsh ; the redness of (her) blood dominated the water.
