Sunan an-Nasa'i 376
أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَارِثُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ، قِرَاءَةً عَلَيْهِ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ، عَنِ ابْنِ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، وَاللَّيْثُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ حَبِيبٍ، مَوْلَى عُرْوَةَ عَنْ بُدَيَّةَ، - وَكَانَ اللَّيْثُ يَقُولُ نَدَبَةَ - مَوْلاَةِ مَيْمُونَةَ عَنْ مَيْمُونَةَ قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُبَاشِرُ الْمَرْأَةَ مِنْ نِسَائِهِ وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ إِذَا كَانَ عَلَيْهَا إِزَارٌ يَبْلُغُ أَنْصَافَ الْفَخِذَيْنِ وَالرُّكْبَتَيْنِ فِي حَدِيثِ اللَّيْثِ تَحْتَجِزُ بِهِ .
Al-Harith ibn Miskin informed us—this was read to him while I listened—from Ibn Wahb, from Yunus and al-Layth, from Ibn Shihab, from Habib, the freedman of 'Urwah, from Budayyah—the name al-Layth used was Nadbah—the freedwoman of Maymunah, from Maymunah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) would be intimate with one of his wives while she was menstruating, provided she wore a waist wrapper that reached halfway down her thighs and to her knees. In al-Layth's version, she wrapped it around herself.
Translation notes
The Arabic preserves a narrator-name variation, Budayyah/Nadbah, and says the waist wrapper reached halfway down the thighs and to the knees; al-Layth's version adds that she bound it around herself.
مَوْلَى عُرْوَةَ عَنْ بُدَيَّةَ،
The source gives two forms of this narrator's name, Budayyah and Nadbah.
Please verify the narrator-name variant against the Arabic.
- وَكَانَ اللَّيْثُ يَقُولُ نَدَبَةَ - مَوْلاَةِ مَيْمُونَةَ عَنْ مَيْمُونَةَ قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُبَاشِرُ الْمَرْأَةَ مِنْ نِسَائِهِ وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ إِذَا كَانَ عَلَيْهَا إِزَارٌ يَبْلُغُ أَنْصَافَ الْفَخِذَيْنِ وَالرُّكْبَتَيْنِ فِي حَدِيثِ اللَّيْثِ تَحْتَجِزُ بِهِ .
The English witness uses 'or' between halfway down the thighs and the knees, while the Arabic has 'and', and it omits the note that al-Layth's version says she wrapped it around herself.
Please verify the garment description and retain the al-Layth-version note.
