Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ الْمُنْذِرِ، عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ سَأَلَتِ امْرَأَةٌ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ إِحْدَانَا إِذَا أَصَابَ ثَوْبَهَا الدَّمُ مِنَ الْحَيْضَةِ كَيْفَ تَصْنَعُ قَالَ "إِذَا أَصَابَ إِحْدَاكُنَّ الدَّمُ مِنَ الْحَيْضِ فَلْتَقْرِصْهُ ثُمَّ لْتَنْضَحْهُ بِالْمَاءِ ثُمَّ لْتُصَلِّي " .
Translation
Asma' daughter of Abu Bakr said
Abdullah ibn Maslamah narrated to us, from Malik, from Hisham ibn Urwah, from Fatimah bint al-Mundhir, from Asma bint Abi Bakr, that she said: A woman asked the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said: O Messenger of Allah, what if the garment of one of us is stained with menstrual blood? What should she do? He said: When the menstrual blood stains the garment of any of you, let her scrape it, then rub it with water, and then pray in it.
