أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ حَبِيبِ بْنِ عَرَبِيٍّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ وَهُوَ ابْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ اسْتُحِيضَتْ فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ أَبِي حُبَيْشٍ فَسَأَلَتْ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أُسْتَحَاضُ فَلَا أَطْهُرُ أَفَأَدَعُ الصَّلَاةَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّمَا ذَلِکَ عِرْقٌ وَلَيْسَتْ بِالْحَيْضَةِ فَإِذَا أَقْبَلَتْ الْحَيْضَةُ فَدَعِي الصَّلَاةَ وَإِذَا أَدْبَرَتْ فَاغْسِلِي عَنْکِ أَثَرَ الدَّمِ وَتَوَضَّئِي فَإِنَّمَا ذَلِکَ عِرْقٌ وَلَيْسَتْ بِالْحَيْضَةِ قِيلَ لَهُ فَالْغُسْلُ قَالَ ذَلِکَ لَا يَشُکُّ فِيهِ أَحَدٌ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد الرَّحْمَنِ لَا أَعْلَمُ أَحَدًا ذَکَرَ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ وَتَوَضَّئِي غَيْرَ حَمَّادِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ وَقَدْ رَوَی غَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ هِشَامٍ وَلَمْ يَذْکُرْ فِيهِ وَتَوَضَّئِي
سنن نسائی · Hadith 220
It was narrated that ‘Aishah said: “Fatimah bint Abi Hubaish suffered from Istihadah and she asked the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم: ‘Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم, I suffer from Istihadah and I do not become pure; should I stop praying?’ The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: ‘That is a vein and is not menstruation. When your period comes, stop praying, and when it goes wash the traces of blood from yourself and perform Wudu That is a vein and is not menstruation.” It was said to him: “What about Ghusl?’ He said: “No one doubts that.” Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman said: “I do not know anyone who mentioned ‘and perform Wudu in this Hadith except Hammad bin Zaid, for some others have reported it from Hisham, and they did not mention ‘and perform Wudu’ in it.” (Sahih)
