Arabic hadith text

وَعَن عَائِشَة قَالَتْ: كُنْتُ أَغْتَسِلُ أَنَا وَالنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ إِنَاءٍ وَاحِدٍ وَكِلَانَا جُنُبٌ وَكَانَ يَأْمُرُنِي فَأَتَّزِرُ فَيُبَاشِرُنِي وَأَنَا حَائِضٌ وَكَانَ يُخْرِجُ رَأْسَهُ إِلَيَّ وَهُوَ مُعْتَكِفٌ فَأَغْسِلُهُ وَأَنَا حَائِض

Translation

ʿĀʾisha said: ‘The Prophet and I used to perform a ritual bath from one vessel when we were both in a state of sexual impurity. When I was menstruating, he would tell me to wrap myself in a waist wrapper, then be physically close to me. When he was in retreat in the mosque, he would extend his head toward me and I would wash it while I was menstruating.’ (Agreed upon.)
