Sunan Abi Dawud 312 (Book 1, Hadith 312) #20603
Refraining from Prayer During Menstrual Period

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet's wives refraining from prayer for forty days during their menstrual period and not being commanded to complete the prayers abandoned during that time.

Al-Azdiyyah, viz. Mussah, said: I performed Hajj and came to Umm Salamah and said (to her): Mother of the believers, Samurah b. Jundub commands women to complete the prayers abandoned during their menstrual period. She said: They should not do so. The wives of the Prophet would refrain (from prayer) for forty nights (ie days) during the course of bleeding after child birth. The Prophet would not command them to complete the prayers abandoned during the period of bleeding. Muhammad b. Hatim said: The name of Al-Azdiyyah is Mussah and her patronymic name is Umm Busrah. Abu Dawud said: The patronymic names of Kathir b. Ziyad s Abu Sahl.
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ، - يَعْنِي حِبِّي - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَتْنِي الأَزْدِيَّةُ، - يَعْنِي مُسَّةَ - قَالَتْ حَجَجْتُ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ فَقُلْتُ يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِنَّ سَمُرَةَ بْنَ جُنْدُبٍ يَأْمُرُ النِّسَاءَ يَقْضِينَ صَلاَةَ الْمَحِيضِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَتْ لاَ يَقْضِينَ كَانَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ مِنْ نِسَاءِ النَّبِيِّ تَقْعُدُ فِي النِّفَاسِ أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً لاَ يَأْمُرُهَا النَّبِيُّ بِقَضَاءِ صَلاَةِ النِّفَاسِ ‏.‏ قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ حَاتِمٍ وَاسْمُهَا مُسَّةُ تُكْنَى أُمَّ بُسَّةَ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ كَثِيرُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ كُنْيَتُهُ أَبُو سَهْلٍ

QUICK LESSONS:
Respect physical limitations when engaging in religious practices

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith discusses the practice of refraining from prayer during a woman's menstrual period. According to this hadith, the wives of Prophet Muhammad would refrain from praying for forty days due to their menstrual cycle and were not commanded by him to make up any prayers they missed during this time. This suggests that women are exempt from performing certain religious duties while menstruating as it is a natural process and should be respected as such. Additionally, it teaches us that we should be mindful of our own physical limitations when engaging in religious practices and not push ourselves beyond what we can handle in order to avoid any harm or discomfort caused by overexertion.
