Sunan an-Nasai 219 (Book 1, Hadith 220) #14826
Praying During Menstruation

SUMMARY: The hadith is about a woman who asked the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) if she should stop praying due to not being able to become pure. The Prophet (PBUH) told her that it was not menstruation and instructed her on how to pray when her period comes.

It was narrated from 'Aishah that the daughter of Abu Hubaish said: "O Messenger of Allah, I do not become pure, so should I stop praying?" He said: "No, that is a vein". Khalid said, in what I read from him, 1 "And it is not menstruation, so when your period comes, stop praying, and when it goes, wash the blood from yourself and pray". 1 Meaning, before Hisham, from whom he narrates it.
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الأَشْعَثِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ هِشَامَ بْنَ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ بِنْتَ أَبِي حُبَيْشٍ، قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي لاَ أَطْهُرُ أَفَأَتْرُكُ الصَّلاَةَ قَالَ ‏"‏ لاَ إِنَّمَا هُوَ عِرْقٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ خَالِدٌ فِيمَا قَرَأْتُ عَلَيْهِ ‏"‏ وَلَيْسَتْ بِالْحَيْضَةِ فَإِذَا أَقْبَلَتِ الْحَيْضَةُ فَدَعِي الصَّلاَةَ وَإِذَا أَدْبَرَتْ فَاغْسِلِي عَنْكِ الدَّمَ وَصَلِّي

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith discusses the issue of prayer during menstruation. A woman asked the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) if she should stop praying due to not being able to become pure, and he replied by saying “No, that is a vein” meaning it was not menstruation and therefore she could still pray. He then instructed her on how to pray when her period comes; wash away any blood from herself before praying. This hadith teaches us about purity in Islam and how we can still perform our religious duties even during times of impurity such as menstruation or post-natal bleeding.
