(Book 20, Hadith 1) #35765
Ritual Bath and Ihram After Childbirth

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) instructed Asma bint Umays to take a ritual bath and enter into the state of Ihram after giving birth to her son.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abd ar-Rahman ibn al-Qasim from his father from Asma bint Umays that she gave birth to Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr at al-Bayda. Abu Bakr mentioned this to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and he said, "Tell her to do ghusl and then enter ihram".
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ عُمَيْسٍ، أَنَّهَا وَلَدَتْ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ بِالْبَيْدَاءِ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ مُرْهَا فَلْتَغْتَسِلْ ثُمَّ لِتُهِلَّ
