قَالَتْ فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ أَبِي حُبَيْشٍ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي لاَ أَطْهُرُ، أَفَأَدَعُ الصَّلاَةَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " إِنَّمَا ذَلِكِ عِرْقٌ وَلَيْسَ بِالْحَيْضَةِ، فَإِذَا أَقْبَلَتِ الْحَيْضَةُ فَاتْرُكِي الصَّلاَةَ، فَإِذَا ذَهَبَ قَدْرُهَا فَاغْسِلِي عَنْكِ الدَّمَ وَصَلِّي ".

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ

Translation

Aishah reported: Fatimah bint Abi Hubaysh said to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, “O Messenger of Allah, I do not become pure. Shall I then leave the prayer?” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “That is only a vein and not menstruation. When the menstruation comes, leave the prayer, and when its duration has passed, wash the blood off yourself and pray.”

Aischa berichtete: Fatima bint Abi Hubaisch sagte zum Gesandten Allahs ﷺ: „O Gesandter Allahs, ich werde nicht rein. Soll ich da das Gebet lassen?“ Da sagte der Gesandte Allahs ﷺ: „Das ist nur eine Ader und keine Menstruation. Wenn die Menstruation kommt, dann lass das Gebet, und wenn ihre Dauer vorüber ist, dann wasch das Blut von dir ab und bete.“

Âişe (r.a.) şöyle rivayet etti: Fâtıma bint Ebû Hubeyş (r.a.) Resûlullah'a ﷺ şöyle dedi: “Ey Allah'ın Resûlü! Ben temizlenemiyorum. Namazı bırakayım mı?” Resûlullah ﷺ şöyle buyurdu: “O sadece bir damardır, hayız değildir. Hayız geldiğinde namazı bırak; süresi geçince de kanı üzerinden yıka ve namaz kıl.”
