Sunan Abi Dawud 2166 (Book 12, Hadith 121) #22457
Sleeping Together During Menstruation

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad and his wife Aisha, who used to sleep in one cloth while she was menstruating. If anything from either of them smeared the other's clothing, they would only wash that spot and not beyond it.

Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin: I and the Messenger of Allah used to lie in one cloth at night while I was menstruating. If anything from me smeared him, he washed the same place (that was smeared), and did not wash beyond it. If anything from him smeared his clothe, he washed the same place and did not wash beyond that, and prayed with it (ie the clothe).
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ صُبْحٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ خِلاَسًا الْهَجَرِيَّ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَائِشَةَ، - رضى الله عنها - تَقُولُ كُنْتُ أَنَا وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ، نَبِيتُ فِي الشِّعَارِ الْوَاحِدِ وَأَنَا حَائِضٌ طَامِثٌ فَإِنْ أَصَابَهُ مِنِّي شَىْءٌ غَسَلَ مَكَانَهُ وَلَمْ يَعْدُهُ وَإِنْ أَصَابَ - تَعْنِي ثَوْبَهُ - مِنْهُ شَىْءٌ غَسَلَ مَكَانَهُ وَلَمْ يَعْدُهُ وَصَلَّى فِيهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks of the relationship between Prophet Muhammad and his wife Aisha. It shows how they respected each other even during times when a woman is considered impure due to her menstrual cycle. They would sleep together in one cloth without any hesitation or shame, and if anything from either of them smeared the other's clothing, they would only wash that spot and not beyond it. This teaches us that we should be respectful towards each other regardless of gender or physical state. Furthermore, this hadith also shows us how important prayer is for Muslims as even with a stained garment Prophet Muhammad still prayed with it on.
