( أَخْبَرَنَاهُ ) أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، أَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الصَّفَّارُ، ثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْبِرْتِيُّ الْقَاضِي، ثَنَا مُسْلِمٌ، ثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ كَثِيرٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتِ:
اسْتُحِيضَتْ أُخْتُ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ، فَكَانَتْ تَمْلَأُ مِرْكَنًا لَهَا مَاءً، ثُمَّ تَدْخُلُهُ حَتَّى تَعْلُوَ الْمَاءَ حُمْرَةُ الدَّمِ، فَاسْتَفْتَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهَا: إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِحَيْضَةٍ وَلَكِنَّهُ عِرْقٌ، فَاغْتَسِلِي وَصَلِّي

The sister of Zaynab bint Jaḥsh suffered from istiḥāḍah (irregular bleeding) for seven years. She would fill a basin of hers with water, then sit in it until the redness of the blood rose over the water. She asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for a ruling, and he said to her: "It is not a menstrual period, but rather a vein, so wash yourself and pray."

- Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr
أحاديث أمرها به الغسل لكل صلاة روي من وجوه كلها ضعيفة
machine translationThe reports in which she was commanded to perform a ritual bath (ghusl) for every prayer are narrated through several routes, all of them weak (ḍaʿīf).
in سنن البيهقي الكبرى, p. 1671 - 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).

أحاديث أمرها به الغسل لكل صلاة روي من وجوه كلها ضعيفة

سليمان بن كثير في روايته عن الزهري اضطراب كثير مع مخالفة حفاظ أصحابه
machine translationIn Sulaymān b. Kathīr's narration from al-Zuhrī there is much inconsistency (iḍṭirāb), along with contradiction of the memorizers (ḥuffāẓ) among his companions.
