Sunan an-Nasa'i 203

Translation

"Umm Habibah bint Jahsh suffered Istihadah (non-menstrual vaginal bleeding) for seven years. She complained about that to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'That is not menstruation; rather that is (bleeding from) a vein, so perform Ghusl then pray.'"

• 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).
