Sahih al-Bukhari 308 (Book 6, Hadith 13) #305
Cleanliness After Menstruation

SUMMARY: It is important to cleanse oneself and one's clothing after menstruation before praying.

Narrated 'Aisha: Whenever anyone of us got her menses, she, on becoming clean, used to take hold of the blood spot and rub the blood off her garment, and pour water over it and wash that portion thoroughly and sprinkle water over the rest of the garment. After that she would pray in (with) it.
حَدَّثَنَا أَصْبَغُ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ كَانَتْ إِحْدَانَا تَحِيضُ، ثُمَّ تَقْتَرِصُ الدَّمَ مِنْ ثَوْبِهَا عِنْدَ طُهْرِهَا فَتَغْسِلُهُ، وَتَنْضَحُ عَلَى سَائِرِهِ، ثُمَّ تُصَلِّي فِيهِ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains the importance of cleanliness and purity when it comes to prayer. It is narrated by 'Aisha that whenever a woman would have her period, she would take hold of the blood spot on her garment and rub it off. She would then pour water over the spot and wash it thoroughly before sprinkling water over the rest of her garment. After this process was completed, she was able to pray in that same garment. This hadith teaches us that we must be mindful of our physical cleanliness when engaging in prayer as well as other acts of worship. We must ensure that our bodies are free from any impurities or dirt before engaging in such activities so as not to disrespect God or ourselves. Furthermore, this hadith also serves as a reminder for us to be mindful of our spiritual cleanliness by avoiding sins and wrongdoings which can prevent us from connecting with God through prayer or other forms of worship.
