Menstrual Periods

Menstrual Periods

1.293:
Narrated Al−Qasim: `Aisha said, "We set out with the sole
intention of performing Hajj and when we reached Sarif, (a
place six miles from Mecca) I got my menses. Allah's Apostle
came to me while I was weeping. He said 'What is the matter
with you? Have you got your menses?' I replied, 'Yes.' He
said, 'This is a thing which Allah has ordained for the
daughters of Adam. So do what all the pilgrims do with the
exception of the Tawaf (Circumambulation) round the Ka`ba."
`Aisha added, "Allah's Apostle sacrificed cows on behalf of
his wives."
1.294:
Narrated `Aisha:
While in menses, I used to comb the hair of Allah's Apostle .
1.295:
Narrated `Urwa:
A person asked me, "Can a woman in menses serve me? And can a
Junub woman come close to me?" I replied, "All this is easy
for me. All of them can serve me, and there is no harm for any
other person to do the same. `Aisha told me that she used to
comb the hair of Allah's Apostle while she was in her menses,
and he was in I`tikaf (in the mosque). He would bring his head
near her in her room and she would comb his hair, while she
used to be in her menses."
1.296:
Narrated `Aisha:
The Prophet used to lean on my lap and recite Qur'an while I
was in menses.
1.297:
Narrated Um Salama: While I was laying with the Prophet under
a single woolen sheet, I got the menses. I slipped away and
put on the clothes for menses. He said, "Have you got "Nifas"
(menses)?" I replied, "Yes." He then called me and made me lie
with him under the same sheet.
1.298:
Narrated `Aisha:
The Prophet and I used to take a bath from a single pot while
we were Junub. During the menses, he used to order me to put
on an Izar (dress worn below the waist) and used to fondle me.
While in I`tikaf, he used to bring his head near me and I
would wash it while I used to be in my periods (menses).
1.299:
Narrated `Abdur−Rahman bin Al−Aswad: (on the authority of his
father) `Aisha said: "Whenever Allah's Apostle wanted to
fondle anyone of us during her periods (menses), he used to
order her to put on an Izar and start fondling her." `Aisha
added, "None of you could control his sexual desires as the
Prophet could."
1.300:
Narrated Maimuna:
When ever Allah's Apostle wanted to fondle any of his wives
during the periods (menses), he used to ask her to wear an
Izar.
1.301:
Narrated Abu Sa`id Al−Khudri: Once Allah's Apostle went out to
the Musalla (to offer the prayer) o `Id−al−Adha or Al−Fitr
prayer. Then he passed by the women and said, "O women! Give
alms, as I have seen that the majority of the dwellers of
Hell−fire were you (women)." They asked, "Why is it so, O
Allah's Apostle ?" He replied, "You curse frequently and are
ungrateful to your husbands. I have not seen anyone more
deficient in intelligence and religion than you. A cautious
sensible man could be led astray by some of you." The women
asked, "O Allah's Apostle! What is deficient in our
intelligence and religion?" He said, "Is not the evidence of
two women equal to the witness of one man?" They replied in
the affirmative. He said, "This is the deficiency in her
intelligence. Isn't it true that a woman can neither pray nor
fast during her menses?" The women replied in the affirmative.
He said, "This is the deficiency in her religion."
1.302:
Narrated `Aisha:
We set out with the Prophet for Hajj and when we reached Sarif
I got my menses. When the Prophet came to me, I was weeping.
He asked, "Why are you weeping?" I said, "I wish if I had not
performed Hajj this year." He asked, "May be that you got your
menses?" I replied, "Yes." He then said, "This is the thing
which Allah has ordained for all the daughters of Adam. So do
what all the pilgrims do except that you do not perform the
Tawaf round the Ka`ba till you are clean."
1.303:
Narrated `Aisha:
Fatima bint Abi Hubaish said to Allah's Apostle, "O Allah's
Apostle! I do not become clean (from bleeding). Shall I give
up my prayers?" Allah's Apostle replied: "No, because it is
from a blood vessel and not the menses. So when the real
menses begins give up your prayers and when it (the period)
has finished wash the blood off your body (take a bath) and
offer your prayers."
1.304:
Narrated Asma' bint Abi Bakr: A woman asked Allah's Apostle,
"O Allah's Apostle! What should we do, if the blood of menses
falls on our clothes?" Allah's Apostle replied, "If the blood
of menses falls on the garment of anyone of you, she must take
hold of the blood spot, rub it, and wash it with water and
then pray in (with it).
1.305:
Narrated `Aisha:
Whenever anyone of us got her menses, she, on becoming clean,
used to take hold of the blood spot and rub the blood off her
garment, and pour water over it and wash that portion
thoroughly and sprinkle water over the rest of the garment.
After that she would pray in (with) it.
1.306:
Narrated `Aisha:
Once one of the wives of the Prophet did I`tikaf along with
him and she was getting bleeding in between her periods. She
used to see the blood (from her private parts) and she would
perhaps put a dish under her for the blood. (The sub−narrator
`Ikrima added, `Aisha once saw the liquid of safflower and
said, "It looks like what so and so used to have.")
1.307:
Narrated `Aisha:
"One of the wives of Allah's Apostle joined him in I`tikaf and
she noticed blood and yellowish discharge (from her private
parts) and put a dish under her when she prayed."
1.308:
Narrated `Aisha:
One of the mothers of the faithful believers (i.e. the wives
of the Prophet ) did I`tikaf while she was having bleeding in
between her periods.
1.309:
Narrated `Aisha:
None of us had more than a single garment and we used to have
our menses while wearing it. Whenever it got soiled with blood
of menses we used to apply saliva to the blood spot and rub
off the blood with our nails.
1.310:
Narrated Um−`Atiya: We were forbidden to mourn for a dead
person for more than three days except in the case of a
husband for whom mourning was allowed for four months and ten
days. (During that time) we were not allowed to put kohl
(Antimony eye power) in our eyes or to use perfumes or to put
on colored clothes except a dress made of `Asr (a kind of
Yemen cloth, very coarse and rough). We were allowed very
light perfumes at the time of taking a bath after menses and
also we were forbidden to go with the funeral procession .
1.311:
Narrated `Aisha:
A woman asked the Prophet about the bath which is take after
finishing from the menses. The Prophet told her what to do and
said, "Purify yourself with a piece of cloth scented with
musk." The woman asked, "How shall I purify myself with it" He
said, "Subhan Allah! Purify yourself (with it)." I pulled her
to myself and said, "Rub the place soiled with blood with it."
1.312:
Narrated `Aisha:
An Ansari woman asked the Prophet how to take a bath after
finishing from the menses. He replied, "Take a piece a cloth
perfumed with musk and clean the private parts with it
thrice." The Prophet felt shy and turned his face. So pulled
her to me and told her what the Prophet meant.
1.313:
Narrated `Aisha:
In the last Hajj of Allah's Apostle I assume the Ihram for
Hajj along with Allah Apostle. I was one of those who intended
Tamattu` (to perform Hajj an `Umra) and did not take the Hadi
(animal for sacrifice) with me. I got my menses and was not
clean till the night of `Arafa I said, "O Allah's Apostle! It
is the night of the day of `Arafat and I intended to perform
the Hajj Tamattu` with `Umra Allah's Apostle told me to undo
my hair and comb it and to postpone the `Umra. I did the same
and completed the Hajj. On the night of Al−Hasba (i.e. place
outside Mecca where the pilgrims go after finishing all the
ceremonies Hajj at Mina) he (the Prophet ordered `Abdur Rahman
(`Aisha's brother) to take me to at−Tan`im to assume the lhram
for `Umra in lieu of that of Hajj−at−Tamattu` which I had
intended to perform.
1.314:
Narrated `Aisha:
On the 1st of Dhul−Hijja we set out with the intention of
performing Hajj. Allah's Apostle said, "Any one who likes to
assume the Ihram for `Umra he can do so. Had I not brought the
Hadi with me, I would have assumed the Ihram for `Umra. "Some
of us assumed the Ihram for `Umra while the others assumed the
Ihram for Hajj. I was one of those who assumed the Ihram for
`Umra. I got menses and kept on menstruating until the day of
`Arafat and complained of that to the Prophet . He told me to
postpone my `Umra, undo and comb my hair, and to assure the
Ihram of Hajj and I did so. On the right of Hasba, he sent my
brother `Abdur−Rahman bin Abi Bakr with me to at−Tan`im, where
I assumed the Ihram for `Umra in lieu of the previous one.
Hisham said, "For that (`Umra) no Hadi, fasting or alms were
required.
1.315:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet said, "At every womb
Allah appoints an angel who says, 'O Lord! A drop of semen, O
Lord! A clot. O Lord! A little lump of flesh." Then if Allah
wishes (to complete) its creation, the angel asks, (O Lord!)
Will it be a male or female, a wretched or a blessed, and how
much will his provision be? And what will his age be?' So all
that is written while the child is still in the mother's
womb."
1.316:
Narrated `Urwa:
`Aisha said, "We set out with the Prophet in his last Hajj.
Some of us intended to perform `Umra while others Hajj. When
we reached Mecca, Allah's Apostle said, 'Those who had assumed
the lhram for `Umra and had not brought the Hadi should finish
his lhram and whoever had assumed the Ihram for `Umra and
brought the Hadi should not finish the Ihram till he has
slaughtered his Hadi and whoever had assumed the lhram for
Hajj should complete his Hajj." `Aisha further said, "I got my
periods (menses) and kept on menstruating till the day of
`Arafat, and I had assumed the Ihram for `Umra only
(Tamattu`). The Prophet ordered me to undo and comb my head
hair and assume the lhram for Hajj only and leave the `Umra. I
did the same till I completed the Hajj. Then the Prophet sent
`Abdur Rahman bin Abi Bakr with me and ordered me to perform
`Umra from at−Tan`im in lieu of the missed `Umra."
1.317:
Narrated `Aisha:
Fatima bint Abi Hubaish used to have bleeding in between the
periods, so she asked the Prophet about it . He replied, "The
bleeding is from a blood vessel and not the menses. So give up
the prayers when the (real) menses begin and when it has
finished, take a bath and start praying."
1.318:
Narrated Mu`adha:
A woman asked `Aisha, "Should I offer the prayers that which I
did not offer because of menses" `Aisha said, "Are you from
the Huraura' (a town in Iraq?) We were with the Prophet and
used to get our periods but he never ordered us to offer them
(the Prayers missed during menses)." `Aisha perhaps said, "We
did not offer them."
1.319:
Narrated Zainab bint Abi Salama: Um−Salama said, "I got my
menses while I was lying with the Prophet under a woolen
sheet. So I slipped away, took the clothes for menses and put
them on. Allah's Apostle said, 'Have you got your menses?' I
replied, 'Yes.' Then he called me and took me with him under
the woolen sheet." Um Salama further said, "The Prophet used
to kiss me while he was fasting. The Prophet and I used to
take the bath of Janaba from a single pot."
1.320:
Narrated Um Salama: While I was lying with the Prophet under a
woolen sheet, I got my menses. I slipped away and put on the
clothes for menses. The Prophet said, "Have you got your
menses?" I replied, "Yes." He called me and I slept with him
under the woolen sheet.
1.321:
Narrated Aiyub:
Hafsa said, 'We used to forbid our young women to go out for
the two `Id prayers. A woman came and stayed at the palace of
Bani Khalaf and she narrated about her sister whose husband
took part in twelve holy battles along with the Prophet and
her sister was with her husband in six (out of these twelve).
She (the woman's sister) said, "We used to treat the wounded,
look after the patients and once I asked the Prophet, 'Is
there any harm for any of us to stay at home if she doesn't
have a veil?' He said, 'She should cover herself with the veil
of her companion and should participate in the good deeds and
in the religious gathering of the Muslims.' When Um `Atiya
came I asked her whether she had heard it from the Prophet.
She replied, "Yes. May my father be sacrificed for him (the
Prophet)! (Whenever she mentioned the Prophet she used to say,
'May my father be sacrificed for him) I have heard the Prophet
saying, 'The unmarried young virgins and the mature girl who
stay often screened or the young unmarried virgins who often
stay screened and the menstruating women should come out and
participate in the good deeds as well as the religious
gathering of the faithful believers but the menstruating women
should keep away from the Musalla (praying place).' " Hafsa
asked Um `Atiya surprisingly, "Do you say the menstruating
women?" She replied, "Doesn't a menstruating woman attend
`Arafat (Hajj) and such and such (other deeds)?"
1.322:
Narrated `Aisha:
Fatima bint Abi Hubaish asked the Prophet, "I got persistent
bleeding (in between the periods) and do not become clean.
Shall I give up prayers?" He replied, "No, this is from a
blood vessel. Give up the prayers only for the days on which
you usually get the menses and then take a bath and offer your
prayers."
1.323:
Narrated Um `Atiya: We never considered yellowish discharge as
a thing of importance (as menses).
1.324:
Narrated `Aisha:
(the wife of the Prophet) Um Habiba got bleeding in between
the periods for seven years. She asked Allah's Apostle about
it. He ordered her to take a bath (after the termination of
actual periods) and added that it was (from) a blood vessel.
So she used to take a bath for every prayer.
1.325:
Narrated `Aisha:
(the wife of the Prophet) I told Allah's Apostle that Safiya
bint Huyai had got her menses. He said, "She will probably
delay us. Did she perform Tawaf (Al−Ifada) with you?" We
replied, "Yes." On that the Prophet told her to depart.
1.326:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: A woman is al lowed to leave (go back
home) if she gets menses (after Tawaf−Al−Ifada). Ibn `Umar
formerly used to say that she should not leave but later on I
heard him saying, "She may leave, since Allah's Apostle gave
them the permission to leave (after Tawaf−Al−Ifada)."
1.327:
Narrated `Aisha:
The Prophet said to me, "Give up the prayer when your menses
begin and when it has finished, wash the blood off your body
(take a bath) and start praying."
1.328:
Narrated Samura bin Jundub: The Prophet offered the funeral
prayer for the dead body of a woman who died of (during)
delivery (i.e. child birth) and he stood by the middle of her
body.
1.329:
Narrated Maimuna:
(the wife of the Prophet) During my menses, I never prayed,
but used to sit on the mat beside the mosque of Allah's
Apostle. He used to offer the prayer on his sheet and in
prostration some of his clothes used to touch me."
