Sunan Abi Dawud 291 (Book 1, Hadith 291) #20582
Prolonged Bleeding and Prayer

SUMMARY: Umm Habibah had a prolonged flow of blood for seven years and the Prophet Muhammad commanded her to take a bath before every prayer.

'Aishah said: Umm Habibah had a prolonged flow of blood for seven years. The Messenger of Allah commanded her to take bath; so she used to take bath for every prayer.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْمُسَيَّبِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، وَعَمْرَةَ بِنْتِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ أُمَّ حَبِيبَةَ، اسْتُحِيضَتْ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ فَأَمَرَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ أَنْ تَغْتَسِلَ فَكَانَتْ تَغْتَسِلُ لِكُلِّ صَلاَةٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
Umm Habibah was suffering from a prolonged flow of blood for seven years. The Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, commanded her to take a bath before every prayer. This is an example of how the Prophet Muhammad showed compassion towards those who were suffering from illnesses or disabilities. He did not want them to feel excluded or ashamed because of their condition, but instead wanted them to be able to participate in religious activities like everyone else. Taking a bath before each prayer was one way that Umm Habibah could still fulfill her religious obligations despite her illness. This hadith teaches us that we should show compassion towards those who are ill or disabled and not make them feel excluded because of their condition. We should also strive to find ways for them to participate in religious activities if possible so they can still fulfill their obligations as Muslims even if they have physical limitations or disabilities.
