وَقَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ زِرٍّ، حَدَّثَنِي حَنْظَلَةُ بْنُ سَبْرَةَ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ بْنِ نَجَبَةَ، عَنْ عَمَّتِهِ جُمَانَةَ، وَكَانَتْ تَحْتَ حُذَيْفَةَ، قَالَتْ
« إِنَّ حُذَيْفَةَ ؓ كَانَ يَنْصَرِفُ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْغَدَاةِ فِي رَمَضَانَ، فَيَدْخُلُ مَعَهَا فِي لِحَافِهِ وَيُوَلِّيهَا ظَهْرَهُ، وَلَا يُقْبِلُ بِوَجْهِهِ عَلَيْهَا »، تَعْنِي وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ
