Sahih al-Bukhari 379 (Book 8, Hadith 31) #375
Praying While Menstruating

SUMMARY: The hadith is about Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) praying while Maimuna was in her menses and his clothes touching her during prostration.

Narrates 'Abdullah bin Shaddad: Maimuna said, "Allah's Messenger was praying while I was in my menses, sitting beside him and sometimes his clothes would touch me during his prostration". Maimuna added, "He prayed on a Khumra (a small mat sufficient just for the face and the hands while prostrating during prayers).
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ الشَّيْبَانِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ شَدَّادٍ، عَنْ مَيْمُونَةَ، قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يُصَلِّي وَأَنَا حِذَاءَهُ وَأَنَا حَائِضٌ وَرُبَّمَا أَصَابَنِي ثَوْبُهُ إِذَا سَجَدَ‏.‏ قَالَتْ وَكَانَ يُصَلِّي عَلَى الْخُمْرَةِ‏.‏
