حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ حَدَّثَنَا مَنْصُورٌ عَنْ أُمِّهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ

أَنَّ امْرَأَةً مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ قَالَتْ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ كَيْفَ أَغْتَسِلُ مِنَ الْمَحِيضِ قَالَ خُذِي فِرْصَةً مُمَسَّكَةً فَتَوَضَّئِي ثَلاَثًا ثُمَّ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ اسْتَحْيَا فَأَعْرَضَ بِوَجْهِهِ أَوْ قَالَ تَوَضَّئِي بِهَا فَأَخَذْتُهَا فَجَذَبْتُهَا فَأَخْبَرْتُهَا بِمَا يُرِيدُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ

An Ansari woman asked the Prophet ﷺ 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 ﷺ felt shy and turned his face. So I pulled her to me and told her what the Prophet ﷺ meant.
