The Book of Menstruation

'A'isha reported:

When anyone amongst us (amongst the wives of the Prophet) menstruated, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) asked her to tie a waist-wrapper over her (body) and then embraced her.

'A'isha reported:

When anyone amongst us was menstruating the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) asked her to tie waist-wrapper daring the time when the menstrual blood profusely flowed and then embraced her; and she ('A'isha) observed: And who amongst you can have control over his desires as the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had over his desires.

Maimuna (the wife of the Prophet) reported:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) contacted and embraced his wives over the waist-wrapper when they were menstruating.

Kuraibthe freed slave of Ibn Abbas, reported:

I heard it from Maimuna, the wife of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ): The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to lie with me when I menstruated, and there was a cloth between me and him.

Umm Salama reported:

While I was lying with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) in a bed cover I menstruated, so I slipped away and I took up the clothes (which I wore) in menses. Upon this the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Have you menstruated? I said: Yes. He called me and I lay down

It is reported from 'A'isha that she observed:

When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was in I'tikaf, he inclined his head towards me and I combedhis hair, and he did not enter the house but for the natural calls (for relieving himself).

'Amra daughter of 'Abd al-Rahman reported:

'A'isha, wife of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) observed: When I was (in I'tikaf), I entered the house for the call of nature, and while passing I inquired after the health of the sick (in the. family), and when the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was (in I'tikaf), he put out his head towards me, while he himself was in the mosque, and I combed his hair; and he did not enter the house except for the call of nature so long as he was In I'tikaf; and Ibn Rumh stated: As long as they (the Prophet (ﷺ) and his wives) were among the observers of I'tikaf.

'A'isha, the wife of the Messenger (ﷺ), reported:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) put out from the mosque his head for me as he was in I'tikaf, and I washed it in the state that I was menstruating.

'Urwa reported it from 'A'isha that she observed:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) inclined his head towards me (from the mosque) while I was in my apartment and I combed it in a state of menstruation.

Al-Aswad narrated it from 'A'isha that she observed:

I used to wash the head of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), while I was in a state of menstruation.

'A'isha reported:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to me: Get me the mat from the mosque. I said: I am menstruating. Upon this he remarked: Your menstruation is not in your hand.

'A'isha reported:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ordered me that I should get him the mat from the mosque. I said: I am menstruating. He (the Prophet) said: Do get me that, for menstruation is not in your hand.

Abu Huraira reported:

While the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was in the mosque, he said: O 'A'isha, get me that garment. She said: I am menstruating. Upon this he remarked: Your menstruation is not in your hand, and she, therefore, got him that.

'A'isha reported:

I would drink when I was menstruating, then I would hand it (the vessel) to the Messenger (ﷺ) and he would put his mouth where mine had been, and drink, and I would eat flesh from a bone when I was menstruating, then hand it over to the Messenger (ﷺ) and he would put his mouth where mine had been. Zuhair made no mention of (the Prophet's) drinking.

'A'isha reported:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) would recline in my lap when I was menstruating, and recite the Qur'an.

Thabit narrated it from Anas:

Among the Jews, when a woman menstruated, they did not dine with her, nor did they live with them in their houses; so the Companions of the Messenger (ﷺ) asked The Messenger (ﷺ), and Allah, the Exalted revealed:" And they ask you about menstruation; say it is a pollution, so keep away from woman during menstruation" to the end (Qur'an, ii. 222). The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Do everything except intercourse. The Jews heard of that and said: This man does not want to leave anything we do without opposing us in it. Usaid b. Hudair and Abbad b. Bishr came and said: Messenger of Allah, the Jews say such and such thing. We should not have, therefore, any contactwith them (as the Jews do). The face of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) underwent such a change that we thought he was angry with them, but when they went out, they happened to receive a gift of milk which was sent to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). He (the Prophet) called for them and gave them drink, whereby they knew that he was not angry with them.

'Ali reported:

I was one whose prostatic fluid flowed readily and I was ashamed to ask the Messenger (ﷺ) about it, because of the position of his daughter. I, therefore, asked Miqdad. b. al-Asad and he inquired of him (the Prophet). He (the Prophet) said: He should wash his male organ and perform ablution.

'Ali reported:

I felt shy of asking about prostatic fluid from the Messenger (ﷺ) because of Fatimah. I, therefore, asked al-Miqdad (to ask on my behalf) and he asked. He (the Prophet) said: Ablution is obligatory in such a case.

Ibn 'Abbas reported it from 'Ali:

We sent al-Miqdad b. al-Aswad to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) to ask him what must be done about prostatic fluid which flows from (the private part of) a person. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Perform ablution and wash your sexual organ.

Ibn 'Abbas reported:

The Messenger (ﷺ) woke up at night; relieved himself, and then washed his face and hands and then again slept.
