Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا النُّفَيْلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْقَدْ كَانَ يَكُونُ لإِحْدَانَا الدِّرْعُ فِيهِ تَحِيضُ وَفِيهِ تُصِيبُهَا الْجَنَابَةُ ثُمَّ تَرَى فِيهِ قَطْرَةً مِنْ دَمٍ فَتَقْصَعُهُ بِرِيقِهَا .

'Aishah said
Al-Nufayli narrated to us, Sufyan narrated to us, from Ibn Abi Najih, from Ata, from Aishah, who said: "One of us would have a garment in which she would menstruate, and in it she would experience major ritual impurity (janabah), then she would see a drop of blood on it and she would scratch/rub it with her saliva."
