Sunan an-Nasai 271 (Book 1, Hadith 272) #14878
Menstruation and Religious Duties

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught that menstruation should not be a barrier to performing religious duties.

It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "The Messenger of Allah said: 'Give me the mat from the Masjid'." She said: "I am menstruating". The Messenger of Allah said: "Your menstruation is not in you hand".
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عَبِيدَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، ح وَأَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ ثَابِتِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، - رضى الله عنها - قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ نَاوِلِينِي الْخُمْرَةَ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَتْ إِنِّي حَائِضٌ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ لَيْسَتْ حَيْضَتُكِ فِي يَدِكِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of fulfilling religious duties even when one is in a state of menstruation. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was teaching 'Aishah that her menstrual cycle should not be an obstacle for her to perform her religious obligations such as praying in the mosque. He reminded her that she did not have control over it and thus it should not stop her from doing what she needs to do. This hadith teaches us that we must fulfill our religious obligations no matter what our circumstances are, and we must never use them as an excuse for avoiding them. It also teaches us the importance of being mindful of our actions and how they can affect others around us.
