[750] 61 – (…) It was narrated from Safiyyah and she narrates from 'Aishah that Asmâ' asked the Prophet about Ghusl following menses. He said: "Let one of you take her water and Sidr (lote tree) leaves and clean herself well, then let her pour water over her head and rub it vigorously, so that it will reach the roots of her hair. Then let her pour the water over herself, then take a piece of cloth scented with musk and purify herself." Asmâ' said: "How should she purify herself?" He said: "Subhân-Allâh (Glorious is Allah)! Purify yourself with it." 'Aishah said – as if she whispered it to her – "Follow the traces of blood." And she asked him about Ghusl in the case of Janâbah. He said: "Let her take water and clean herself well – or clean herself thoroughly – then let her pour water over her head and rub it so that it reaches the roots of the hair, then let her pour water over herself." 'Aishah said: "How good the woman of the Anâr were! They did not let shyness prevent them from understanding their religion properly."
