Chapter 1 · Purification (Kitab Al-Taharah)مَا جَاءَ فِي وَقْتِ النُّفَسَاءِ
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، أَخْبَرَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى، عَنْ أَبِي سَهْلٍ، عَنْ مُسَّةَ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، قَالَتْ: كَانَتْ النُّفَسَاءُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَقْعُدُ بَعْدَ نِفَاسِهَا أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا، أَوْ أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً، وَكُنَّا نَطْلِي عَلَى وُجُوهِنَا الْوَرْسَ تَعْنِي مِنَ الْكَلَفِ .
