أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُوسَی قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عَمْرَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ ابْنَةَ جَحْشٍ کَانَتْ تُسْتَحَاضُ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ فَسَأَلَتْ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ لَيْسَتْ بِالْحَيْضَةِ إِنَّمَا هُوَ عِرْقٌ فَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَتْرُکَ الصَّلَاةَ قَدْرَ أَقْرَائِهَا وَحَيْضَتِهَا وَتَغْتَسِلَ وَتُصَلِّيَ فَکَانَتْ تَغْتَسِلُ عِنْدَ کُلِّ صَلَاةٍ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 359
It was narrated from ‘Aishah that Umm Habibah bint Jahsh used to suffer from Istihadah for seven years. She asked the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم and he said: “That is not menstruation, rather it is a vein. Tell her not to pray for the period of time that her period used to last, then let her perform Ghusl and pray.” She used to perform Ghusl for every prayer. (Sahih)
