Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عُبَيْدٍ قَالَ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِسَرِفَ وَقَدْ نَفِسْتُ وَأَنَا مُنَكِّسَةٌ فَقَالَ لِي أَنَفِسْتِ فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَلَا أَحْسِبُ النِّسَاءَ خُلِقْنَ إِلَّا لِلشَّرِّ فَقَالَ لَا وَلَكِنَّهُ شَيْءٌ ابْتُلِيَ بِهِ نِسَاءُ بَنِي آدَمَ.
English Translation
Abu al-Mughirah told us: al-Awza'i told us: Abu Ubayd told me: A'isha said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, came in to me at Sarif when I had begun menstruating and I was bowed down. He said to me: "Have you menstruated?" I said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah, and I do not think women were created except for calamity." He said: "No, but it is something that the daughters of Adam have been afflicted with."
