Sunan Abi Dawud 360 (Book 1, Hadith 360) #20651
Praying After Menstruation

SUMMARY: The hadith explains that when a woman is purified from her menstruation, she should check her clothes for any remaining blood and if found, she should scratch it off with water and sprinkle some water on it before praying.

Asma' daughter of Abu Bakr said: I heard a woman asking the Messenger of Allah : What should any of us to with her clothe (in which she menstruated) when she becomes purified ? Can she pray in that (clothe) ? He said: She should see; if she finds blood in it, she should scratch it with some water and (in case of doubt) sprinkle upon it (some water) and pray so long as she does not find (any blood).
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ النُّفَيْلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ الْمُنْذِرِ، عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، قَالَتْ سَمِعْتُ امْرَأَةً، تَسْأَلُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ تَصْنَعُ إِحْدَانَا بِثَوْبِهَا إِذَا رَأَتِ الطُّهْرَ أَتُصَلِّي فِيهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ تَنْظُرُ فَإِنْ رَأَتْ فِيهِ دَمًا فَلْتَقْرُصْهُ بِشَىْءٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ وَلْتَنْضَحْ مَا لَمْ تَرَ وَلْتُصَلِّ فِيهِ
