أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ وَوَکِيعٌ وَأَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ جَائَتْ فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ أَبِي حُبَيْشٍ إِلَی رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي امْرَأَةٌ أُسْتَحَاضُ فَلَا أَطْهُرُ أَفَأَدَعُ الصَّلَاةَ قَالَ لَا إِنَّمَا ذَلِکَ عِرْقٌ وَلَيْسَتْ بِالْحَيْضَةِ فَإِذَا أَقْبَلَتْ الْحَيْضَةُ فَدَعِي الصَّلَاةَ وَإِذَا أَدْبَرَتْ فَاغْسِلِي عَنْکِ الدَّمَ وَصَلِّي
سنن نسائی · Hadith 361
It was narrated that ‘Aishah said: Fatimah bint Abi Hubaish came to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم and said: “I am a woman who suffers from Istihadah and I never become pure. Should I stop praying?” He said: “No, that is a vein, it is not menstruation. When your period comes, stop praying, and when it goes, wash the blood from yourself and pray.” (Sahih)
