أنبأ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ وَأَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو قَالَا ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا هَارُونُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ ثنا بَكَّارُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ جَدَّتِهِ قَالَتْ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ فَسَأَلَتْهَا امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ فِي ثَوْبِ الْحَائِضِ فَقَالَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ قَدْ كَانَ يُصِيبُنَا الْحَيْضُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَتَلْبَثُ إِحْدَانَا أَيَّامَ حَيْضَتِهَا ثُمَّ تَطْهُرُ فَتَنْظُرُ الثَّوْبَ الَّذِي كَانَتْ تَبِيتُ فِيهِ فَإِنْ أَصَابَهُ دَمٌ غَسَلْنَاهُ وَصَلَّيْنَا فِيهِ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ أَصَابَهُ شَيْءٌ تَرَكْنَاهُ وَلَمْ يَمْنَعْنَا ذَلِكَ أَنْ نُصَلِّيَ فِيهِ وَأَمَّا الْمُمْتَشِطَةُ فَكَانَتْ إِحْدَانَا تَكُونُ مُمْتَشِطَةً فَإِذَا اغْتَسَلَتْ لَمْ تَنْقُضْ ذَلِكَ وَلَكِنَّهَا تَحْفِنُ عَلَى رَأْسِهَا ثَلَاثَ حَفَنَاتٍ فَإِذَا رَأَتِ الْبَلَلَ عَلَى أُصُولِ الشَّعْرِ دَلَكَتْهُ ثُمَّ أَفَاضَتْ عَلَى سَائِرِ جَسَدِهَا أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ قَدْ كَانَ يُصِيبُنَا الْحَيْضُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَتَلْبَثُ إِحْدَانَا أَيَّامَ حَيْضَتِهَا ثُمَّ تَطْهُرُ فَتَنْظُرُ الثَّوْبَ الَّذِي كَانَتْ تَبِيتُ فِيهِ فَإِنْ أَصَابَهُ دَمٌ غَسَلْنَاهُ وَصَلَّيْنَا فِيهِ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ أَصَابَهُ شَيْءٌ تَرَكْنَاهُ وَلَمْ يَمْنَعْنَا ذَلِكَ أَنْ نُصَلِّيَ فِيهِ وَأَمَّا الْمُمْتَشِطَةُ فَكَانَتْ إِحْدَانَا تَكُونُ مُمْتَشِطَةً فَإِذَا اغْتَسَلَتْ لَمْ تَنْقُضْ ذَلِكَ وَلَكِنَّهَا تَحْفِنُ عَلَى رَأْسِهَا ثَلَاثَ حَفَنَاتٍ فَإِذَا رَأَتِ الْبَلَلَ عَلَى أُصُولِ الشَّعْرِ دَلَكَتْهُ ثُمَّ أَفَاضَتْ عَلَى سَائِرِ جَسَدِهَا
English Translation
Abu Abdullah al-Hafiz and Abu Sa'id ibn Abi Amr said: Abu al-Abbas Muhammad ibn Ya'qub narrated to us, from Harun ibn Sulayman, from Abd al-Rahman ibn Mahdi, from Bakkar ibn Yahya, from his grandmother who said: I entered upon Umm Salamah and a woman from Quraysh asked her about praying in the garment of a menstruating woman. Umm Salamah said: "We used to menstruate during the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him). One of us would remain in her menstrual period, then become pure and examine the garment she had been sleeping in. If blood had gotten on it, we would wash it and pray in it. If nothing had gotten on it, we would leave it and that did not prevent us from praying in it. As for the woman with braided hair, one of us would have braided hair, and when she bathed, she would not undo it, but she would pour three handfuls of water over her head. When she saw moisture at the roots of her hair, she would rub it, then pour water over the rest of her body."
