Sunan an-Nasai 357 (Book 3, Hadith 9) #14963
Bleeding Outside of Menstruation

SUMMARY: Umm Habibah bint Jahsh had a condition that caused her to bleed for seven years, and the Prophet advised her to not pray during the time she would normally have her period, and then perform Ghusl before praying.

It was narrated from 'Aishah that Umm Habibah bint Jahsh used to suffer from Istihadah for seven years. She asked the Prophet and he said: "That is not menstruation, rather it is a vein. Tell her not to pray for the period of time that her period used to last, then let her perform Ghusl and pray". She used to perform Ghusl for every prayer.
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُوسَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عَمْرَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ ابْنَةَ جَحْشٍ، كَانَتْ تُسْتَحَاضُ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ فَسَأَلَتِ النَّبِيَّ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ لَيْسَتْ بِالْحَيْضَةِ إِنَّمَا هُوَ عِرْقٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَتْرُكَ الصَّلاَةَ قَدْرَ أَقْرَائِهَا وَحِيضَتِهَا وَتَغْتَسِلَ وَتُصَلِّيَ فَكَانَتْ تَغْتَسِلُ عِنْدَ كُلِّ صَلاَةٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
Umm Habibah bint Jahsh was suffering from a condition called Istihadah which caused her to bleed for seven years. She asked the Prophet about it and he told her that it was not menstruation but rather a vein. He advised her not to pray during the time she would normally have her period, and then perform Ghusl before praying. This means that if someone is bleeding outside of their normal menstrual cycle, they should refrain from prayer until they are able to perform Ghusl after their bleeding has stopped. This hadith teaches us that we should be mindful of our health when it comes to religious practices such as prayer, as well as being aware of any medical conditions we may have so we can take proper precautions in order to fulfill our religious obligations properly.
