Sunan an-Nasai 209 (Book 1, Hadith 210) #14816
Calculating Length of Menses During Istihadah

SUMMARY: Umm Habibah bint Jahsh suffered from Istihadah and the Prophet (PBUH) advised her to calculate the length of her menses and stop praying for that period, then perform Ghusl for every prayer.

It was narrated from 'Aishah that Umm Habibah bint Jahsh who was married to 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Awf suffered from Istihadah (non-menstrual vaginal bleeding) and did not become pure. Her situation was mentioned to the Messenger of Allah and he said: 'That is not menstruation, rather it is a kick 1 in the womb, so let her work out the length of the menses that she used to have, and stop praying (for that period of tie), then after that period of time), then after that let her perform Ghusl for every prayer'." 1 A kick in the womb: in other narrations means "A kick from Shaitan,", meaning that the Shaitan uses it to confuse her about her religious commitment.
أَخْبَرَنَا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ دَاوُدَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَمْرَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ أُمَّ حَبِيبَةَ بِنْتَ جَحْشٍ الَّتِي، كَانَتْ تَحْتَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ وَأَنَّهَا اسْتُحِيضَتْ لاَ تَطْهُرْ فَذُكِرَ شَأْنُهَا لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ بِالْحَيْضَةِ وَلَكِنَّهَا رَكْضَةٌ مِنَ الرَّحِمِ فَلْتَنْظُرْ قَدْرَ قُرْئِهَا الَّتِي كَانَتْ تَحِيضُ لَهَا فَلْتَتْرُكِ الصَّلاَةَ ثُمَّ تَنْظُرْ مَا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَلْتَغْتَسِلْ عِنْدَ كُلِّ صَلاَةٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
Umm Habibah bint Jahsh was married to 'Abdur Rahman bin 'Awf and she suffered from a condition called Istihadah which is non menstrual vaginal bleeding. This condition confused her about her religious commitment so she asked the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). The Prophet advised her to calculate the length of mense that she used to have before this condition occurred and stop praying during this period. After that period has passed, he told her to perform Ghusl or ritual bath before each prayer in order to purify herself spiritually as well as physically. This hadith teaches us that even if we are facing a difficult situation in our lives, we should always seek guidance from Allah through His messenger Muhammad (peace be upon him). We should also remember that it is important for us to stay clean both physically and spiritually in order to maintain our relationship with Allah Almighty.
