Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا وَحَاضَتْ بِسَرِفَ، قَبْلَ أَنْ تَدْخُلَ مَكَّةَ وَهْىَ تَبْكِي فَقَالَ ‏"‏ مَا لَكِ أَنَفِسْتِ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّ هَذَا أَمْرٌ كَتَبَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى بَنَاتِ آدَمَ، فَاقْضِي مَا يَقْضِي الْحَاجُّ غَيْرَ أَنْ لاَ تَطُوفِي بِالْبَيْتِ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَلَمَّا كُنَّا بِمِنًى أُتِيتُ بِلَحْمِ بَقَرٍ، فَقُلْتُ مَا هَذَا قَالُوا ضَحَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنْ أَزْوَاجِهِ بِالْبَقَرِ‏.‏

Translation

Musaddad narrated to us: Sufyān narrated to us, from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn al-Qāsim, from his father, from ʿĀʾishah (may God be pleased with her): The Prophet ﷺ came to her when she had begun menstruating at Sarif, before she entered Mecca, and she was crying. He said: “What is the matter with you? Have you begun menstruating?” She said, “Yes.” He said: “This is something God has ordained for the daughters of Adam. Perform all the rites that a pilgrim performs, except that you must not circumambulate the House.” When we were at Minā, beef was brought to me. I asked, “What is this?” They said, “The Messenger of God ﷺ offered cows as sacrifices on behalf of his wives.”
