Sunan Abi Dawud 269 (Book 1, Hadith 269) #20560
Praying with Menstrual Blood

SUMMARY: Aisha and the Prophet used to sleep in one cloth while she was menstruating, and if any of her blood smeared him, he would wash that spot and not exceed it before offering prayer.

Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin: Khallas al-Hujari reported: Aisha said: I and the Messenger of Allah used to pass night in one (piece of) cloth (on me) while I menstruated profusely. If anything from me (ie blood) smeared him (ie his body), he would wash that spot and would not exceed it (in washing), then he would offer prayer with it.
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ صُبْحٍ، سَمِعْتُ خِلاَسًا الْهَجَرِيَّ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَائِشَةَ، - رضى الله عنها - تَقُولُ كُنْتُ أَنَا وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ، نَبِيتُ فِي الشِّعَارِ الْوَاحِدِ وَأَنَا حَائِضٌ طَامِثٌ فَإِنْ أَصَابَهُ مِنِّي شَىْءٌ غَسَلَ مَكَانَهُ وَلَمْ يَعْدُهُ ثُمَّ صَلَّى فِيهِ وَإِنْ أَصَابَ - تَعْنِي ثَوْبَهُ - مِنْهُ شَىْءٌ غَسَلَ مَكَانَهُ وَلَمْ يَعْدُهُ ثُمَّ صَلَّى فِيهِ
