Sahih Muslim 334a (Book 3, Hadith 77) #7925
Taking Baths During Menstruation

SUMMARY: The hadith is about a woman who has an issue with her menstrual cycle and the Prophet (PBUH) advises her to take a bath before every prayer.

'A'isha reported: Umm Habiba b. Jahsh thus asked for a verdict from the Messenger of Allah : I am a woman whose blood keeps flowing (after the menstrual period). He (the Holy Prophet) said: That is only a vein, so take a bath and offer prayer; and she took a bath at the time of every prayer. Laith b. Sa'd said: Ibn Shihab made no mention that the Messenger of Allah had ordered her to take a bath at the time of every prayer, but she did it of her own accord. And in the tradition transmitted by Ibn Rumh there is no mention of Umm Habiba (and there is mention of the daughter of Jahsh only)
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتِ اسْتَفْتَتْ أُمُّ حَبِيبَةَ بِنْتُ جَحْشٍ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي أُسْتَحَاضُ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّمَا ذَلِكِ عِرْقٌ فَاغْتَسِلِي ثُمَّ صَلِّي ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَكَانَتْ تَغْتَسِلُ عِنْدَ كُلِّ صَلاَةٍ ‏.‏ قَالَ اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ لَمْ يَذْكُرِ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَمَرَ أُمَّ حَبِيبَةَ بِنْتَ جَحْشٍ أَنْ تَغْتَسِلَ عِنْدَ كُلِّ صَلاَةٍ وَلَكِنَّهُ شَىْءٌ فَعَلَتْهُ هِيَ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ ابْنُ رُمْحٍ فِي رِوَايَتِهِ ابْنَةُ جَحْشٍ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ أُمَّ حَبِيبَةَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith discusses the issue of menstruation and how it affects one's ability to pray. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) advised Umm Habiba b. Jahsh that she should take a bath before every prayer in order to be able to perform her prayers properly. This advice was given due to the fact that she was having issues with her menstrual cycle which caused her blood flow after the period ended. It is important for Muslims who are going through their menstrual cycle to understand that they can still perform their prayers as long as they take a bath beforehand. This hadith also teaches us about being mindful of our health and taking care of ourselves during this time so we can continue performing our religious duties without any hindrance or difficulty.
