حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ سَهْلَةَ بِنْتَ سُهَيْلٍ، اسْتُحِيضَتْ فَأَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ

تَغْتَسِلَ عِنْدَ كُلِّ صَلاَةٍ فَلَمَّا جَهَدَهَا ذَلِكَ أَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَجْمَعَ بَيْنَ الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ بِغُسْلٍ وَالْمَغْرِبِ وَالْعِشَاءِ بِغُسْلٍ وَتَغْتَسِلَ لِلصُّبْحِ ‏.‏

Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin:

Sahlah daughter of Suhayl had a prolonged flow of blood. She came to the Prophet (ﷺ). He commanded her to take a bath for every prayer. When it became hard for her, he commanded her to combine the noon and afternoon prayers with one bath and the sunset and night prayer with one bath, and to take a bath (separately) for the dawn prayer.

Abu Dawud said: Ibn 'Uyainah reported from 'Abd al-Rahman b. al-Qasim on the authority of his father, saying: A woman had a prolonged flow of blood. She asked the Prophet (ﷺ). He commanded her to the same effect.

Reported by Abu Dawud (No. 295) and Ahmad (No. 23733).

Al-Azimabadi — Awn al-Ma'bud

( فَلَمَّا جَهَدَهَا ذَلِكَ ) : أَيْ فَلَمَّا شَقَّ عَلَى سَهْلَة بِنْت سُهَيْل الْغُسْل لِكُلِّ صَلَاة , يُقَال جَهَدَ فِي الْأَمْر جَهْدًا مِنْ بَاب نَفَعَ إِذَا طَلَبَ حَتَّى بَلَغَ غَايَته فِي الطَّلَب , وَجَهَدَهُ الْأَمْر وَالْمَرَض جَهْدًا أَيْضًا إِذَا بَلَغَ مِنْهُ الْمَشَقَّة. قَالَ الْمُنْذِرِيُّ : فِي إِسْنَاده مُحَمَّد بْن إِسْحَاق بْن يَسَار , وَقَدْ اُخْتُلِفَ فِي الِاحْتِجَاج بِهِ. اِنْتَهَى ( إِنَّ اِمْرَأَة ) : بِغَيْرِ ذِكْر اِسْم الْمَرْأَة كَمَا ذَكَرَهُ مُحَمَّد بْن إِسْحَاق.…
