حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ الصَّبَّاحِ الرَّقِّيُّ ثنا أَبُو حُذَيْفَةَ ثنا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ طَلْحَةَ عَنْ عَمِّهِ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ طَلْحَةَ عَنْ أُمِّهِ حَمْنَةَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ قَالَتْ
كُنْتُ أُسْتَحَاضُ حَيْضَةً شَدِيدَةً كَثِيرَةً فَجِئْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَسْتَفْتِيهِ وَأَسْأَلُهُ فَوَجَدْتُهُ فِي بَيْتِ أُخْتِي زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ لِي إِلَيْكَ حَاجَةً قَالَ مَا هِيَ أَيْ هَنْتَاهُ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّهُ لِحَدِيثٌ وَاللهِ مَا مِنْهُ بُدٌّ وَإِنِّي لَأَسْتَحْيِي مِنْهُ قَالَ فَمَا هُوَ أَيْ هَنْتَاهُ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي أُسْتَحَاضُ حَيْضَةً شَدِيدَةً كَثِيرَةً فَمَا تَرَى فِيهَا قَدْ مَنَعْتَنِي الصَّلَاةَ وَالصَّوْمَ فَقَالَ لَهَا «أَنْعَتُ لَكِ الْكُرْسُفَ فَإِنَّهُ يَذْهَبُ بِالدَّمِ» قُلْتُ هُوَ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ قَالَ «أَمَا إِنِّي سَآمُرُكِ بِأَمْرَيْنِ أَيُّهُمَا فَعَلْتِ فَقَدْ أَجْزَأَ عَنْكِ مِنَ الْآخَرِ وَإِنْ قَدَرْتِ عَلَيْهِمَا فَأَنْتِ أَعْلَمُ إِنَّمَا هَذِهِ رَكْضَةٌ مِنْ رَكَضَاتِ الشَّيْطَانِ فَصَلِّي أَرْبَعَةً وَعِشْرِينَ لَيْلَةً وَأَيَّامَهَا وَصُومِي فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ يُجْزِئُكِ وَكَذَلِكَ فَافْعَلِي كُلَّ شَهْرٍ كَمَا تَحِيضُ النِّسَاءُ وَكَمَا يَطْهُرْنَ لِمِيقَاتِ حَيْضِهِنَّ وَطُهْرِهِنَّ وَإِنْ قَدَرْتِ عَلَى أَنْ تُؤَخِّرِي الظُّهْرَ وَتُعَجِّلِي الْعَصْرَ وَتَغْتَسِلِينَ لَهُمَا ثُمَّ تُصَلِّيَنَ الظُّهْرَ وَالْعَصْرَ جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ تُؤَخِّرِي الْمَغْرِبَ وَتُعَجِّلِينَ الْعِشَاءَ وَتَجْمَعِينَ بَيْنَ الصَّلَاتَيْنِ فَافْعَلِي وَتَغْتَسِلِينَ مَعَ الْفَجْرِ غُسْلًا وَتُصَلِّينَ كَذَلِكَ فَافْعَلِي وَصَلِّي وَصُومِي إِنْ قَدَرْتِ عَلَى ذَلِكَ» قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «وَهَذَا أَعْجَبُ إِلَيَّ»

✧ "I used to suffer from severe, heavy prolonged menstrual bleeding, so I came to the Messenger of God ﷺ to seek his ruling and ask him. I found him in the house of my sister Zaynab bint Jahsh. I said: 'O Messenger of God, I have a need to discuss with you.' He said: 'What is it, O you?' I said: 'O Messenger of God, it is a matter about which—by God—there is no escape, and I am shy about it.' He said: 'What is it, O you?' I said: 'O Messenger of God, I suffer from severe, heavy prolonged menstrual bleeding. What do you think about it? It has prevented me from praying and fasting.' He said to her: 'I prescribe for you cotton, for it will take away the blood.' I said: 'It is more than that.' He said: 'Indeed, I will command you with two matters; whichever of them you do, it will suffice you in place of the other. If you are able to do both, you know best. This is only a strike from the strikes of Satan. So pray and fast for twenty-four nights and their days, for that will suffice you; and do likewise every month, just as women menstruate and become pure according to the time of their menstruation and purity. If you are able to delay the noon prayer and hasten the afternoon prayer, and perform ghusl once for both, then pray the noon and afternoon prayers together, then delay the sunset prayer and hasten the night prayer and combine the two prayers, then do so. And perform ghusl with the dawn prayer, and pray accordingly; do so, and pray and fast if you are able to do that.' The Messenger of God ﷺ said: 'And this is more pleasing to me.'"
