Chapter 6 · Menstrual Periods
Sahih

دَلْكِ الْمَرْأَةِ نَفْسَهَا إِذَا تَطَهَّرَتْ مِنَ الْمَحِيضِ وَكَيْفَ تَغْتَسِلُ، وَتَأْخُذُ فِرْصَةً مُمَسَّكَةً فَتَتَّبِعُ بِهَا أَثَرَ الدَّمِ

A woman rubbing herself when she purifies herself from menstruation, how she takes the ritual bath (ghusl), and that she takes a piece of wool scented with musk and follows the traces of blood with it

أَنَّ امْرَأَةً، سَأَلَتِ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنْ غُسْلِهَا مِنَ الْمَحِيضِ، فَأَمَرَهَا كَيْفَ تَغْتَسِلُ قَالَ " خُذِي فِرْصَةً مِنْ مِسْكٍ فَتَطَهَّرِي بِهَا ". قَالَتْ كَيْفَ أَتَطَهَّرُ قَالَ " تَطَهَّرِي بِهَا ". قَالَتْ كَيْفَ قَالَ " سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ تَطَهَّرِي ". فَاجْتَبَذْتُهَا إِلَىَّ فَقُلْتُ تَتَبَّعِي بِهَا أَثَرَ الدَّمِ.

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ مَنْصُورِ ابْنِ صَفِيَّةَ، عَنْ أُمِّهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ،

Translation

Aishah reported that a woman asked the Prophet ﷺ about her ritual bath (ghusl) after menstruation, and he told her how to take the ritual bath. He said, “Take a piece of wool with musk and purify yourself with it.” She said, “How shall I purify myself with it?” He said, “Purify yourself with it.” She said, “How?” He said, “Glory be to Allah! Purify yourself!” So I pulled her to me and said, “Follow the traces of blood with it.”

Translator’s note: A piece of wool or cotton scented with musk is meant, with which the woman cleans the places where there was blood.

Aischa berichtete, dass eine Frau den Propheten ﷺ nach ihrer Ganzkörperwaschung nach der Menstruation fragte. Da wies er sie an, wie sie die Ganzkörperwaschung vollziehen soll, und sagte: „Nimm ein Stück Wolle mit Moschus und reinige dich damit.“ Sie sagte: „Wie soll ich mich damit reinigen?“ Er sagte: „Reinige dich damit.“ Sie sagte: „Wie?“ Er sagte: „Gepriesen sei Allah! Reinige dich!“ Da zog ich sie zu mir und sagte: „Folge damit der Spur des Blutes.“

Translator’s note: Gemeint ist ein Stück Wolle oder Baumwolle, mit Moschus parfümiert, mit dem die Frau die Stellen reinigt, an denen Blut war.

Âişe (r.a.), bir kadının Nebî'ye ﷺ hayızdan guslünü sorduğunu, onun da ona nasıl gusledeceğini anlattığını rivayet etti. Şöyle buyurdu: “Misk sürülmüş bir parça yün al ve onunla temizlen.” Kadın: “Onunla nasıl temizleneyim?” dedi. “Onunla temizlen” buyurdu. Kadın: “Nasıl?” dedi. “Sübhânallah! Temizlen!” buyurdu. Bunun üzerine onu kendime çektim ve: “Onunla kanın izini takip et” dedim.

Translator’s note: Misk sürülmüş bir parça yün veya pamuk kastedilmektedir; kadın bununla kanın bulunduğu yerleri temizler.
