Sunan Abi Dawud 281

Translation

Fatimah daughter of Abu Hubaish narrated to me that she asked Asma' (daughter of Abu Bakr), or Asma' narrated to me that Fatimah daughter of Abu Hubaish asked her to question the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He advised her to refrain (from prayer) equal to the period she refrained previously. She then should wash herself.1 Abu Dawud said: Qatadah narrated it from 'Urwah b. al-Zubair, from Zainab daughter of Umm Salamah, that Umm Habibah daughter of Jahsh had a prolonged flow of blood. The Prophet ﷺ commanded her to abandon prayer for the period of her menses. She then should take a bath, and offer prayer. Abu Dawud said: Qatadah did not hear anything from 'Urwah. 2 And Ibn 'Uyainah added in the tradition narrated by al-Zuhri from 'Umrah on the authority of 'Aishah. Umm Habibah had a prolonged flow of blood. She asked the Prophet ﷺ. He commanded her to abandon prayer during her menstrual period. Abu Dawud said: This is a misunderstanding on the part of Ibn 'Uyainah. This is not found in the tradition reported by the transmitter from al-Zuhri except that mentioned by Suhail b. Abu Salih. Al-Humaidi also narrated this tradition from Ibn 'Uyainah, but he did not mention the words "she should abandon prayer during her menstrual period."1 Qumair daughter of Masruq reported on the authority of 'Aishah: The woman who has prolonged flow of blood should abandon prayer during her menstrual period.3 'Abd al-Rahman b. al-Qasim reported on the authority of his father: The Prophet ﷺ commanded her to abandon prayers equal (to the length of time) that she has her (usual) menses.2 Abu Bishr Ja'far b. Abi Wahshiyyah reported on the authority of 'Ikrimah from the Prophet ﷺ saying: Umm Habibah daughter of Jahsh had a prolonged flow of blood; and he transmitted like that.1 Sharik narrated from Abu al-Yaqzan from 'Adi b. Thabit from his father on the authority of his grandfather from the Prophet ﷺ: The woman suffering from a prolonged flow of blood should abandon prayer during her menstrual period ; she then should was herself and pray. 1 Al-'Ala b. al-Musayyab reported from al-Hakam on the authority of Abu Ja'far, saying: Saudah had a prolonged flow of blood. The Prophet ﷺ commanded that when he menstruation was finished, she should take bath and pray.1 Sa'id b. Jubair reported from 'Ali and Ibn 'Abbas: A woman suffering from a prolonged flow of blood should refrain from prayers during her menstrual period.1 'Ammar, the freed slave of Banu Hashim and Talq b. Habib narrated in a similar way.1 Similarly, it was reported by Ma'qil al-Khath'ami from 'Ali4, al-Sha'bi also transmitted it in a similar manner from Qumair, the wife of Masruq, on the authority of 'Aishah.1 Abu Dawud said: Al-Hasan, Sa'id b. al-Musayyab, 'Ata, Makhul, Ibrahim, Salim and al-Qasim also hold that a woman suffering from a prolonged flow of blood should abandon prayer during her menstrual period. Abu Dawud said: Qatadah did not hear anything from 'Urwah.

  machine translation1 Abū Dāwūd said: Qatādah narrated it from ʿUrwah b. al-Zubayr, from Zaynab bint Umm Salamah, that Umm Ḥabībah bint Jahsh suffered irregular bleeding (istuḥīḍat), so the Prophet ﷺ commanded her to leave the prayer during the days of her periods (aqrāʾ), then to wash and pray. Abū Dāwūd said: Qatādah did not hear anything from ʿUrwah. 2 Ibn ʿUyaynah added in the hadith of al-Zuhrī, from ʿAmrah, from ʿĀʾishah, that Umm Ḥabībah used to suffer irregular bleeding and asked the Prophet ﷺ, so he commanded her to leave the prayer during the days of her periods. Abū Dāwūd said: This is an error (wahm) on the part of Ibn ʿUyaynah. This is not in the hadith of the memorizers (ḥuffāẓ) from al-Zuhrī, except what Suhayl b. Abī Ṣāliḥ mentioned.

• Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr

  اختلف عن الزهري في هذا الحديث اختلافا كثيرا فمرة يرويه عن عمرة عن عائشة ومرة عن عروة عن عائشة ومرة عن عروة وعمرة عن عائشة ومرة عن عروة عن فاطمة بنت أبي حبيشوأكثر أصحاب ابن شهاب يقولون فيه عن عروة وعمرة عن عائشة أن أم حبيبة بنت جحش ختنة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وهي تحت عبد الرحمن بن عوف استحيضت هكذا يقولون عن ابن شهاب في هذا الحديث أم حبيبة لا يذكرون فاطمة بنت أبي حبيش وحديث ابن شهاب في هذا الباب مضطرب

  machine translationThere is much disagreement among the narrators from al-Zuhrī regarding this hadith. At times he narrates it from ʿAmrah from ʿĀʾishah, at times from ʿUrwah from ʿĀʾishah, at times from ʿUrwah and ʿAmrah from ʿĀʾishah, and at times from ʿUrwah from Fāṭimah bint Abī Ḥubaysh. Most of the students of Ibn Shihāb say in it: from ʿUrwah and ʿAmrah from ʿĀʾishah, that Umm Ḥabībah bint Jaḥsh, the in-law of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, who was married to ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. ʿAwf, had irregular bleeding (istuḥīḍat). This is how they report it from Ibn Shihāb in this hadith: Umm Ḥabībah, without mentioning Fāṭimah bint Abī Ḥubaysh. The hadith of Ibn Shihāb on this subject is inconsistent (muḍṭarib).
