Sunan ad-Darimi 800

Translation

✧ A woman from the Ansar asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about menstruation. He said: “Take your water and your lote-tree leaves, then wash and cleanse yourself thoroughly. Then pour water over your head until you reach the roots of the hair. Then take a piece of cloth perfumed with musk.” She said, “How should I use it, O Messenger of Allah?” He remained silent. She said, “Then how should I use it, O Messenger of Allah?” He remained silent. Aisha said, “Take a piece of cloth perfumed with musk and follow the traces of blood with it,” while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ listened and did not disapprove of what she said.

  إبراهيم بن مهاجر أحاديثه صالحة يحمل بعضها بعضا وحديثه يكتب في الضعفاء

  machine translationThe aḥādīth of Ibrāhīm b. Muhājir are acceptable (ṣāliḥah); some of them support others, and his ḥadīth is to be written down among the weak narrators (ḍuʿafāʾ). Report a problem

• Dāraquṭnī

  يرويه إبراهيم بن مهاجر واختلف عنه فرواه الأعمش والثوري عن إبراهيم بن مهاجر عن صفية بنت شيبة عن عائشة وقال الليث عن إبراهيم بن مهاجر عن مجاهد أو غيره عن عائشة والصحيح قول من قال عن صفية بنت شيبة عن عائشة

  machine translationIbrāhīm b. Muhājir narrates it, and there is disagreement about him. Al-Aʿmash and al-Thawrī narrated it from Ibrāhīm b. Muhājir, from Ṣafiyyah bt. Shaybah, from ʿĀʾishah. Al-Layth said: from Ibrāhīm b. Muhājir, from Mujāhid or someone else, from ʿĀʾishah. The sound (ṣaḥīḥ) view is the statement of those who said: from Ṣafiyyah bt. Shaybah, from ʿĀʾishah.
