Arabic hadith text

وَأَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، مِنْ حِفْظِهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ أَبِي حُبَيْشٍ، كَانَتْ تُسْتَحَاضُ فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ إِنَّ دَمَ الْحَيْضِ دَمٌ أَسْوَدُ يُعْرَفُ فَإِذَا كَانَ ذَلِكِ فَأَمْسِكِي عَنِ الصَّلاَةِ فَإِذَا كَانَ الآخَرُ فَتَوَضَّئِي وَصَلِّي ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَدْ رَوَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ غَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ مَا ذَكَرَ ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ وَاللَّهُ تَعَالَى أَعْلَمُ ‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna informed us: Ibn Abi 'Adi narrated to us from memory: Muhammad ibn 'Amr narrated to us, from Ibn Shihab, from 'Urwah, from 'A'ishah, that Fatimah bint Abi Hubaysh was experiencing irregular bleeding. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to her: 'Menstrual blood is black blood that is recognizable. When that is the case, refrain from prayer; when it is the other kind, perform ablution and pray.' Abu 'Abd al-Rahman said: More than one person narrated this hadith, but none of them mentioned what Ibn Abi 'Adi mentioned. And Allah Most High knows best.

  • وَأَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى،

    The English witness omits the chain and that Ibn Abi 'Adi narrated from memory.
