Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَبِيبِ بْنِ عَرَبِيٍّ، عَنْ حَمَّادٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتِ اسْتُحِيضَتْ فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ أَبِي حُبَيْشٍ فَسَأَلَتِ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أُسْتَحَاضُ فَلاَ أَطْهُرُ أَفَأَدَعُ الصَّلاَةَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ إِنَّمَا ذَلِكِ عِرْقٌ وَلَيْسَتْ بِالْحِيضَةِ فَإِذَا أَقْبَلَتِ الْحِيضَةُ فَدَعِي الصَّلاَةَ وَإِذَا أَدْبَرَتْ فَاغْسِلِي عَنْكِ الدَّمَ وَتَوَضَّئِي وَصَلِّي فَإِنَّمَا ذَلِكِ عِرْقٌ وَلَيْسَتْ بِالْحَيْضَةِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قِيلَ لَهُ فَالْغُسْلُ قَالَ ‏"‏ وَذَلِكَ لاَ يَشُكُّ فِيهِ أَحَدٌ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَدْ رَوَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ غَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ فِيهِ ‏"‏ وَتَوَضَّئِي ‏"‏ ‏.‏ غَيْرُ حَمَّادٍ وَاللَّهُ تَعَالَى أَعْلَمُ ‏.‏

Translation

Yahya ibn Habib ibn 'Arabi informed us: Hammad narrated to us, from Hisham ibn 'Urwah, from his father, from 'A'ishah, who said: Fatimah bint Abi Hubaysh experienced irregular bleeding and asked the Prophet (ﷺ): 'Messenger of Allah, I am experiencing irregular bleeding and do not become pure. Should I stop praying?' The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'That is only a vein, not menstruation. When menstruation begins, stop praying; when it ends, wash the blood from yourself, perform ablution, and pray. It is only a vein, not menstruation.' He was asked: 'What about ghusl?' He replied: 'No one doubts that.' Abu 'Abd al-Rahman said: More than one person narrated this hadith from Hisham ibn 'Urwah, and none of them mentioned 'and perform ablution' except Hammad. And Allah Most High knows best.

Translation notes

  • أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَبِيبِ بْنِ عَرَبِيٍّ،

    The English witness omits the chain preceding 'A'ishah.

    Please verify the full chain against the Arabic.

  • ‏ قِيلَ لَهُ فَالْغُسْلُ قَالَ ‏"‏ وَذَلِكَ لاَ يَشُكُّ فِيهِ أَحَدٌ ‏" ‏ ‏.

    The witness omits this exchange and the following note specifying which narrator included the ablution wording.

    Please verify the ghusl exchange and Hammad-specific transmission note against the Arabic.
