Sahih Muslim 332a (Book 3, Hadith 70) #7918
Purifying Oneself After Menstruation

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught a woman how to take a bath after her menstruation and instructed her to use a piece of cotton with musk to purify herself.

'A'isha reported: A woman asked the Messenger of Allah how to wash herself after menstruation. She mentioned that he taught her how to take bath and then told her to take a piece of cotton with musk and purify herself. She said: How should I purify myself with that? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Praise be to Allah, purify yourself with it, and covered his face, Sufyan b. 'Uyaina gave a demonstration by covering his face (as the Prophet had done)'.A'isha reported: I dragged her to my side for I had understood what the Messenger of Allah intended and, therefore, said: Apply this cotton with musk to the trace of blood. Ibn 'Umar in his hadith (has mentioned the words of 'A'isha thus): Apply it to the marks of blood.
حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ النَّاقِدُ، وَابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، جَمِيعًا عَنِ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ، - قَالَ عَمْرٌو حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، - عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ ابْنِ صَفِيَّةَ، عَنْ أُمِّهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ سَأَلَتِ امْرَأَةٌ النَّبِيَّ كَيْفَ تَغْتَسِلُ مِنْ حَيْضَتِهَا قَالَ فَذَكَرَتْ أَنَّهُ عَلَّمَهَا كَيْفَ تَغْتَسِلُ ثُمَّ تَأْخُذُ فِرْصَةً مِنْ مِسْكٍ فَتَطَهَّرُ بِهَا ‏.‏ قَالَتْ كَيْفَ أَتَطَهَّرُ بِهَا قَالَ ‏ "‏ تَطَهَّرِي بِهَا ‏.‏ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَاسْتَتَرَ - وَأَشَارَ لَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ بِيَدِهِ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ - قَالَ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ وَاجْتَذَبْتُهَا إِلَىَّ وَعَرَفْتُ مَا أَرَادَ النَّبِيُّ فَقُلْتُ تَتَبَّعِي بِهَا أَثَرَ الدَّمِ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ فِي رِوَايَتِهِ فَقُلْتُ تَتَبَّعِي بِهَا آثَارَ الدَّمِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of purifying oneself after menstruation according to Islamic teachings. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught a woman how to take a bath after her menstruation and instructed her to use a piece of cotton with musk as an additional step for purification. He demonstrated this by covering his face, which was then followed by Sufyan b. Uyaina who also covered his face in order for the woman to understand what he meant more clearly. This hadith teaches us that it is important for Muslims, especially women, to practice cleanliness and purity during their menstrual cycle as prescribed in Islam so that they can be closer with Allah SWT through prayer and other religious activities during this time period without feeling ashamed or embarrassed due to any impurities or uncleanliness on their body or clothes.
