Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي لَيْثٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ شِهَابٍ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ وَعَمْرَةَ بِنْتِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ اسْتَفْتَتْ أُمُّ حَبِيبَةَ بِنْتُ جَحْشٍ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي أُسْتَحَاضُ قَالَ إِنَّمَا ذَاكَ عِرْقٌ فَاغْتَسِلِي ثُمَّ صَلِّي فَكَانَتْ تَغْتَسِلُ عِنْدَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ لَمْ يَأْمُرْهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ تَغْتَسِلَ عِنْدَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ إِنَّمَا فَعَلَتْهُ هِيَ.
English Translation
Ishaq told us: Layth told me: Ibn Shihab told me, from Urwah ibn al-Zubayr and Amrah bint Abd al-Rahman, from A'isha, that she said: Umm Habibah bint Jahsh sought a ruling from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, saying: "I suffer from istihadah (irregular bleeding)." He said: "That is only from a blood vessel, so perform ghusl, then pray." So she used to perform ghusl before every prayer. Ibn Shihab said: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, did not command her to perform ghusl before every prayer; she did that of her own accord.
