Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، قَالَ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ مَا كَانَ لإِحْدَانَا إِلاَّ ثَوْبٌ وَاحِدٌ تَحِيضُ فِيهِ، فَإِذَا أَصَابَهُ شَىْءٌ مِنْ دَمٍ، قَالَتْ بِرِيقِهَا فَقَصَعَتْهُ بِظُفْرِهَا.
Translation
Abu Nuaym narrated to us: Ibrahim ibn Nafi‘ narrated to us, from Ibn Abi Najih, from Mujahid, who said: Aishah said, ‘Each of us had only one garment in which she menstruated. If some blood got on it, she would moisten it with her saliva and scrape it off with her fingernail.’
