Sunan Abi Dawud 279 (Book 1, Hadith 279) #20570
Menstruation and Prayer

SUMMARY: This hadith is about Umm Habibah asking the Prophet (ﷺ) about the blood that flows beyond her period of menstruation. The Prophet (ﷺ) advised her to keep away from prayer for the same length of time she was prevented from it and then wash herself.

'Aishah reported : Umm Habibah asked the prophet about the blood (which flows beyond the period of menstruation)'.A’ishah said: I saw her wash-tub full of blood. The apostle of Allah (May peace be upon him) said; Keep away (from prayer) equal (to the length of time) that your menses prevented you. Then wash yourself. Abu Dawud said: Qutaibah mentioned the name Jaftar b. Rabi’ah in the middle of the text of the tradition for the second time (ie, Qutaibah, being doubtful about the narrator Jafar b. Rabi’ah, mentioned his name twice: once in the chain and again while reporting the text). Ali b. 'Ayyash and yunus b. Muhammad reported it on the authority of al-Laith. They mentioned the name Jafar b. Rabi’ah.
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ عِرَاكٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ إِنَّ أُمَّ حَبِيبَةَ سَأَلَتِ النَّبِيَّ عَنِ الدَّمِ - فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَرَأَيْتُ مِرْكَنَهَا مَلآنَ دَمًا - فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ امْكُثِي قَدْرَ مَا كَانَتْ تَحْبِسُكِ حَيْضَتُكِ ثُمَّ اغْتَسِلِي ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ رَوَاهُ قُتَيْبَةُ بَيْنَ أَضْعَافِ حَدِيثِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ فِي آخِرِهَا وَرَوَاهُ عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ وَيُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ اللَّيْثِ فَقَالاَ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ

EXPLANATIONS:
In this hadith, Umm Habibah asked Prophet Muhammad ﷺ about what to do when she experiences bleeding beyond her period of menstruation. The Prophet ﷺ advised her to keep away from prayer for an equal amount of time that she was prevented from it due to menstruating and then wash herself with ghusl or a full body bath. This hadith teaches us that during our menstrual cycle we should not perform salat or any other religious activities until we have completed our cycle and washed ourselves properly with ghusl afterwards. It also teaches us that women should take care of their health during their menstrual cycles by taking rest as much as possible so they can be healthy enough to perform salat again after completing their cycle.
