Narrated ‘Aisha:
Fatima bint Abi Hubaish came to the Prophet and said, “O Allah’s Apostle I get persistent bleeding
from the uterus and do not become clean. Shall I give up my prayers?” Allah’s Apostle replied, “No,
because it is from a blood vessel and not the menses. So when your real menses begins give up your
prayers and when it has finished wash off the blood (take a bath) and offer your prayers.” Hisham
(the sub narrator) narrated that his father had also said, (the Prophet told her): “Perform ablution for
every prayer till the time of the next period comes.”

Volume 1, Book 4, Number 197:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
When the ailment of the Prophet became aggravated and his disease became severe, he asked his
wives to permit him to be nursed (treated) in my house. So they gave him the permission. Then the
Prophet came (to my house) with the support of two men, and his legs were dragging on the ground,
between ‘Abbas, and another man.” ‘Ubaid-Ullah (the sub narrator) said, “I informed ‘Abdullah bin
‘Abbas of what’Aisha said. Ibn ‘Abbas said: ‘Do you know who was the other man?’ I replied in the
negative. Ibn ‘Abbas said, ‘He was ‘Ali (bin Abi Talib).” ‘Aisha further said, “When the Prophet came to
my house and his sickness became aggravated he ordered us to pour seven skins full of water on
him, so that he might give some advice to the people. So he was seated in a Mikhdab (brass tub) be –
longing to Hafsa, the wife of the Prophet. Then, all of us started pouring water on him from the wa –
ter skins till he beckoned to us to stop and that we have done (what he wanted us to do). After that he
went out to the people.”
