Sunan Abi Dawud 273 (Book 1, Hadith 273) #20564
The Prophet's Control Over His Desires

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) had great control over his desires and would embrace his wives even when they were menstruating.

'Aishah said; The Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) would ask us in the beginning of our menstruation to tie the waist-wrapper. Then he would embrace us. And who amongst you can have as much control over his desire as the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) had over his desire?
حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنِ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، - رضى الله عنها - قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يَأْمُرُنَا فِي فَوْحِ حَيْضِنَا أَنْ نَتَّزِرَ ثُمَّ يُبَاشِرُنَا وَأَيُّكُمْ يَمْلِكُ إِرْبَهُ كَمَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يَمْلِكُ إِرْبَهُ

QUICK LESSONS:
Have self-control , Respect your spouse during their menstrual cycle , Accept natural processes in life .

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Aishah speaks of the great control that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) had over his desires. He would ask his wives to tie their waist-wrappers at the beginning of their menstruation and then he would embrace them. This shows us how much self-control he had and how important it is for us to have control over our own desires. It also teaches us that we should not shy away from physical contact with our spouses during menstruation as it is a natural process and should not be seen as something shameful or embarrassing.
