Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ وَقَّاصٍ - عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ أَبِي حُبَيْشٍ، أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ تُسْتَحَاضُ فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ إِذَا كَانَ دَمُ الْحَيْضِ - فَإِنَّهُ دَمٌ أَسْوَدُ يُعْرَفُ - فَأَمْسِكِي عَنِ الصَّلاَةِ وَإِذَا كَانَ الآخَرُ فَتَوَضَّئِي فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ عِرْقٌ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ هَذَا مِنْ كِتَابِهِ ‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna informed us: Ibn Abi 'Adi narrated to us, from Muhammad ibn 'Amr—he is Ibn 'Alqamah ibn Waqqas—from Ibn Shihab, from 'Urwah ibn al-Zubayr, from Fatimah bint Abi Hubaysh, who was experiencing irregular bleeding. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to her: 'When it is menstrual blood—and it is black blood that is recognizable—refrain from prayer. When it is the other blood, perform ablution, for it is only a vein.' Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna said: Ibn Abi 'Adi narrated this to us from his book.

Translation notes
  • The full chain, the identification of Muhammad ibn 'Amr as Ibn 'Alqamah ibn Waqqas, and the note that Ibn Abi 'Adi narrated this from his book are included.

  • أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ تُسْتَحَاضُ فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ إِذَا كَانَ دَمُ الْحَيْضِ - فَإِنَّهُ دَمٌ أَسْوَدُ يُعْرَفُ - فَأَمْسِكِي عَنِ الصَّلاَةِ وَإِذَا كَانَ الآخَرُ فَتَوَضَّئِي فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ عِرْقٌ ‏" ‏ ‏.

    The English witness says 'stop prying,' likely a typographical error for 'stop praying,' and omits the final note about transmission from Ibn Abi 'Adi's book.

    Please verify the intended prayer instruction and retain the Arabic book-transmission note.
