Sahih al-Bukhari 1757 (Book 25, Hadith 235) #1686
The Prophet's Inquiry About His Wife's Menses

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) inquiring about his wife Safiya bint Huyay's menses and being informed that she had already performed Tawaf-al-Ifada, so he concluded that she would not delay them.

Narrated 'Aisha: Safiya bint Huyay, the wife of the Prophet got her menses, and Allah's Messenger was informed of that. He said, "Would she delay us?" The people said, "She has already performed Tawaf-al-Ifada". He said, "Therefore she will not (delay us)".
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ أَنَّ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتَ حُيَىٍّ، زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ حَاضَتْ، فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَحَابِسَتُنَا هِيَ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالُوا إِنَّهَا قَدْ أَفَاضَتْ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ فَلاَ إِذًا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) inquiring about his wife Safiya bint Huyay's menses and being informed that she had already performed Tawaf-al-Ifada. Tawaf al Ifada is a ritual circumambulation of the Ka'bah which women are allowed to perform during their menstrual cycle. Upon hearing this information, the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) concluded that Safiya would not delay them from continuing on their journey. This hadith teaches us to be considerate and understanding towards women who are menstruating as they can still perform religious rituals such as tawaf al ifda without delaying others in any way. It also shows us how much respect and care the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) showed for his wife by inquiring after her health even when they were travelling together with a large group of people.
