Sahih al-Bukhari 315 (Book 6, Hadith 20) #312
Taking a Bath After Menses

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) taught an Ansari woman how to take a bath after finishing her menses.

Narrated 'Aisha: An Ansari woman asked the Prophet how to take a bath after finishing from the menses. He replied, "Take a piece a cloth perfumed with musk and clean the private parts with it thrice". The Prophet felt shy and turned his face. So I pulled her to me and told her what the Prophet meant.
حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مَنْصُورٌ، عَنْ أُمِّهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً، مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ قَالَتْ لِلنَّبِيِّ كَيْفَ أَغْتَسِلُ مِنَ الْمَحِيضِ قَالَ ‏"‏ خُذِي فِرْصَةً مُمَسَّكَةً، فَتَوَضَّئِي ثَلاَثًا ‏"‏‏.‏ ثُمَّ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ اسْتَحْيَا فَأَعْرَضَ بِوَجْهِهِ أَوْ قَالَ ‏"‏ تَوَضَّئِي بِهَا ‏"‏ فَأَخَذْتُهَا فَجَذَبْتُهَا فَأَخْبَرْتُهَا بِمَا يُرِيدُ النَّبِيُّ ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of cleanliness and hygiene, particularly when it comes to taking a bath after finishing from the menses. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught an Ansari woman how to take a bath in order to maintain cleanliness and hygiene. He instructed her to use a piece of cloth perfumed with musk and clean the private parts with it thrice. As he felt shy, 'Aisha pulled the woman closer and explained what he meant. This hadith teaches us that we should always strive for cleanliness and hygiene, especially during our menses as it is considered impure according to Islamic teachings. We should also be mindful of our modesty when discussing such matters as this hadith shows us that even the Prophet ﷺ was shy in talking about them openly.
