Taking a Bath After Periods

SUMMARY: The Prophet (PBUH) instructed a woman on how to take a bath after her periods.

Narrated 'Aisha: A woman asked the Prophet (Hadith 456). Narrated 'Aisha: A woman asked the Prophet about the periods: How to take a bath after the periods. He said, "Take a perfumed piece of cloth and clean yourself with it". She said,' "How shall I clean myself with it, O Allah's Messenger ?" The Prophet said, "Clean yourself" She said again, "How shall I clean myself, O Allah's Messenger ?" The Prophet said, "Clean yourself with it". Then I knew what Allah's Messenger meant. So I pulled her aside and explained it to her.
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ صَفِيَّةَ، عَنْ أُمِّهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً، سَأَلَتِ النَّبِيَّ ‏.‏ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ ـ هُوَ ابْنُ عُقْبَةَ ـ حَدَّثَنَا الْفُضَيْلُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ النُّمَيْرِيُّ الْبَصْرِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا مَنْصُورُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ابْنُ شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَتْنِي أُمِّي عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ أَنَّ امْرَأَةً سَأَلَتِ النَّبِيَّ عَنِ الْحَيْضِ كَيْفَ تَغْتَسِلُ مِنْهُ قَالَ ‏"‏ تَأْخُذِينَ فِرْصَةً مُمَسَّكَةً فَتَوَضَّئِينَ بِهَا ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَتْ كَيْفَ أَتَوَضَّأُ بِهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ‏"‏ تَوَضَّئِي ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَتْ كَيْفَ أَتَوَضَّأُ بِهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ‏"‏ تَوَضَّئِينَ بِهَا ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَعَرَفْتُ الَّذِي يُرِيدُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَجَذَبْتُهَا إِلَىَّ فَعَلَّمْتُهَا‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of cleanliness and hygiene, especially during periods. It was narrated by 'Aisha that a woman asked the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) about how to take a bath after her periods. The Prophet instructed her to use perfumed cloth and clean herself with it. When she asked for further clarification, he repeated his instruction again until 'Aisha understood what he meant and explained it to the woman in private. This hadith teaches us that cleanliness is an important part of our faith and we should strive to maintain it at all times, especially during our menstrual cycle when we are more prone to infections due to increased moisture in our bodies. Additionally, this hadith also teaches us the importance of seeking clarification when something is not clear so that we can understand it better before taking any action or making any decisions based on incomplete information.
