Sahih Muslim 514 (Book 4, Hadith 309) #8314
Praying While in Menses

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) prayed at night while 'A'isha was in a state of menses and had a sheet pulled over her.

'A'isha reported: The Apostle of Allah said prayer at night and I was by his side in a state of menses and I had a sheet pulled over me a portion of which was on his side.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَزُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، قَالَ زُهَيْرٌ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا طَلْحَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ يُصَلِّي مِنَ اللَّيْلِ وَأَنَا إِلَى جَنْبِهِ وَأَنَا حَائِضٌ وَعَلَىَّ مِرْطٌ وَعَلَيْهِ بَعْضُهُ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's prayer while 'A'isha was in a state of menses. It shows that even though she was not able to physically pray due to her condition, she still participated by being present and having a sheet pulled over her. This teaches us that even if we are unable to perform certain acts of worship due to physical or mental limitations, we can still be part of it by being present and supporting others who are performing the act. It also teaches us that women should not feel ashamed or embarrassed about their natural bodily functions such as menses but rather embrace them as part of their faith journey.
