حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ قَالَتْ سَأَلَتْ امْرَأَةٌ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَتْ إِنِّي أُسْتَحَاضُ فَلَا أَطْهُرُ أَفَأَدَعُ الصَّلَاةَ قَالَ لَا وَلَکِنْ دَعِي قَدْرَ الْأَيَّامِ وَاللَّيَالِي الَّتِي کُنْتِ تَحِيضِينَ قَالَ أَبُو بَکْرٍ فِي حَدِيثِهِ وَقَدْرَهُنَّ مِنْ الشَّهْرِ ثُمَّ اغْتَسِلِي وَاسْتَثْفِرِي بِثَوْبٍ وَصَلِّي
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 623
It was narrated that Umm Salamah said: A woman asked the Prophet: 'I bleed continuously and do not become pre. Should I give up the prayer?' He said: 'No, but leave off praying for the number of dys and nights that you used to menstruate.'" (One of the narrators) Abu Bakr (Ibn Abu Shaibah) said in his Hadith: “(Estimate the number of days in the month, then take a bath and cover your private part with a cloth and perform prayer."
