Non-Menstrual Vaginal Bleeding and Prayer

SUMMARY: Umm Habibah bint Jahsh suffered from non-menstrual vaginal bleeding for seven years and the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) advised her to perform Ghusl and then pray.

It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "Umm Habibah bint Jahsh suffered Istihadah (non-menstrual vaginal bleeding) for seven years. She complained about that to the Messenger of Allah and the Messenger of Allah said: 'That is not menstruation; rather that is (bleeding from) a vein, so perform Ghusl then pray'."
أَخْبَرَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الأَوْزَاعِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الزُّهْرِيُّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، وَعَمْرَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتِ اسْتُحِيضَتْ أُمُّ حَبِيبَةَ بِنْتُ جَحْشٍ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ فَاشْتَكَتْ ذَلِكَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ هَذِهِ لَيْسَتْ بِالْحَيْضَةِ وَلَكِنْ هَذَا عِرْقٌ فَاغْتَسِلِي ثُمَّ صَلِّي
