حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا شُجَاعُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ أَبُو بَدْرٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى عَنْ أَبِي سَهْلٍ عَنْ مُسَّةَ الأَزْدِيَّةِ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ قَالَتْ
كَانَتِ النُّفَسَاءُ تَجْلِسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا فَكُنَّا نَطْلِي وُجُوهَنَا بِالْوَرْسِ مِنَ الْكَلَفِ

Notes
قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ أَبِي سَهْلٍ عَنْ مُسَّةَ الأَزْدِيَّةِ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ وَاسْمُ أَبِي سَهْلٍ كَثِيرُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى ثِقَةٌ وَأَبُو سَهْلٍ ثِقَةٌ وَلَمْ يَعْرِفْ مُحَمَّدٌ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ إِلاَّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ أَبِي سَهْلٍ وَقَدْ أَجْمَعَ أَهْلُ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَالتَّابِعِينَ وَمَنْ بَعْدَهُمْ عَلَى أَنَّ النُّفَسَاءَ تَدَعُ الصَّلاَةَ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا إِلاَّ أَنْ تَرَى الطُّهْرَ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ فَإِنَّهَا تَغْتَسِلُ وَتُصَلِّي فَإِذَا رَأَتِ الدَّمَ بَعْدَ الأَرْبَعِينَ فَإِنَّ أَكْثَرَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ قَالُوا لاَ تَدَعُ الصَّلاَةَ بَعْدَ الأَرْبَعِينَ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ أَكْثَرِ الْفُقَهَاءِ وَبِهِ يَقُولُ سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ وَابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ وَالشَّافِعِيُّ وَأَحْمَدُ وَإِسْحَاقُ وَيُرْوَى عَنِ الْحَسَنِ الْبَصْرِيِّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّهَا تَدَعُ الصَّلاَةَ خَمْسِينَ يَوْمًا إِذَا لَمْ تَرَ الطُّهْرَ وَيُرْوَى عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ وَالشَّعْبِيِّ سِتِّينَ يَوْمًا
machine translationAbū ʿĪsā said: This is a gharīb ḥadīth; we only know it from the ḥadīth of Abū Sahl, from Mussah al-Azdiyyah, from Umm Salamah. The name of Abū Sahl is Kathīr b. Ziyād. Muḥammad b. Ismāʿīl said: ʿAlī b. ʿAbd al-Aʿlā is trustworthy (thiqah) and Abū Sahl is trustworthy (thiqah), and Muḥammad did not know this ḥadīth except from the ḥadīth of Abū Sahl. The people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ, the Followers, and those after them are agreed that the woman in postpartum bleeding (nifās) leaves the prayer for forty days, unless she sees purity before that, in which case she washes and prays. If she sees blood after the forty days, most of the people of knowledge said: she does not leave the prayer after the forty days. This is the view of most of the jurists, and it is what Sufyān al-Thawrī, Ibn al-Mubārak, al-Shāfiʿī, Aḥmad and Isḥāq say. It is reported from al-Ḥasan al-Baṣrī that he said: she leaves the prayer for fifty days if she does not see purity. And it is reported from ʿAṭāʾ b. Abī Rabāḥ and al-Shaʿbī: sixty days.
