Jami at-Tirmidhi 129 (Book 1, Hadith 129) #25694
Praying Despite Bleeding

SUMMARY: Umm Habibah asked the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) if she should give up her prayers due to persistent bleeding, and he told her that it was only a blood vessel and she should perform Ghusl before each prayer.

Aishah narrated: "Umm Habibah hint Jahsh sought a verdict from Allah's Messenger. She said 'I suffer from persistent bleeding such that I do not become pure. Shall I give up the Salat?' He said: 'No, that is only a blood vessel. So perform Ghusl then pray'. So she would perform Ghusl for each prayer".
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتِ اسْتَفْتَتْ أُمُّ حَبِيبَةَ ابْنَةُ جَحْشٍ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي أُسْتَحَاضُ فَلاَ أَطْهُرُ أَفَأَدَعُ الصَّلاَةَ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ إِنَّمَا ذَلِكِ عِرْقٌ فَاغْتَسِلِي ثُمَّ صَلِّي ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَكَانَتْ تَغْتَسِلُ لِكُلِّ صَلاَةٍ ‏.‏ قَالَ قُتَيْبَةُ قَالَ اللَّيْثُ لَمْ يَذْكُرِ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَمَرَ أُمَّ حَبِيبَةَ أَنْ تَغْتَسِلَ عِنْدَ كُلِّ صَلاَةٍ وَلَكِنَّهُ شَيْءٌ فَعَلَتْهُ هِيَ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَيُرْوَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عَمْرَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتِ اسْتَفْتَتْ أُمُّ حَبِيبَةَ بِنْتُ جَحْشٍ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ ‏.‏ وَقَدْ قَالَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ الْمُسْتَحَاضَةُ تَغْتَسِلُ عِنْدَ كُلِّ صَلاَةٍ ‏.‏ وَرَوَى الأَوْزَاعِيُّ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ وَعَمْرَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ
