Authentic graded by Salim al-Hilali Muwatta Malik 126

وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ، زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَتْ مُضْطَجِعَةً مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي ثَوْبٍ وَاحِدٍ وَأَنَّهَا قَدْ وَثَبَتْ وَثْبَةً شَدِيدَةً فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ مَا لَكِ لَعَلَّكِ نَفِسْتِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ يَعْنِي الْحَيْضَةَ ‏.‏ فَقَالَتْ نَعَمْ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ شُدِّي عَلَى نَفْسِكِ إِزَارَكِ ثُمَّ عُودِي إِلَى مَضْجَعِكِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Yahya related to me from Malik from Rabia ibn Abi Abd ar-Rahman that on one occasion A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was sleeping with the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, in one garment, when suddenly she jumped up sharply. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said to her, "What's the matter with you? Are you losing blood?", meaning menstruating. She said, "Yes." He said, "Wrap your waist-wrapper tightly about you, and return to your sleeping- place."

( ش ) : قَوْلُهَا أَنَّهَا وَثَبَتْ وَثْبَةً شَدِيدَةً يُرِيدُ لِمَا رَأَتْهُ مِنْ دَمِ الْحَيْضَةِ لِمَكَانِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مَعَهَا وَقَوْلُهُ لَعَلَّك نَفِسْت يُرِيدُ لَعَلَّ الْمُوجِبَ لِوَثْبَتِك النِّفَاسُ وَهُوَ الْحَيْضُ فَقَالَتْ نَعَمْ فَأَعْلَمَهَا بِمَا يَجِبُ أَنْ تَمْتَثِلَهُ فِي مِثْلِ هَذَا الْحَالِ فَقَالَ شُدِّي عَلَى نَفْسِك إزَارَك يُرِيدُ أَنْ تَشُدَّ الْإِزَارِ عَلَى مَا جَرَتْ الْعَادَةُ بِشَدِّهِ عَلَيْهَا مِنْهَا وَنَفْسُهَا حَقِيقَتُهَا فَفُهِمَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ شُدِّي الْإِزَارَ عَلَى مَا جَرَتْ بِهِ الْعَادَةُ كَمَا لَوْ قَالَ شُدِّي عَلَيْك إزَارَكِ لَفُهِمَ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُ ( فَصْلٌ ) وَقَوْلُهُ صلى الله عليه وسلم ثُمَّ عُودِي إِلَى مَضْجَعِك دَلِيلٌ…

The Prophet (ﷺ) used to embrace me during my menses. He also used to put his head out of the mosque while he was in I`tikaf, and I would wash it during my menses.

يُبَاشِرُنِي وَأَنَا حَائِضٌ‏.‏ وَكَانَ يُخْرِجُ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ وَهْوَ مُعْتَكِفٌ فَأَغْسِلُهُ وَأَنَا حَائِضٌ‏.‏
