Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ نَزَلَتْ عَلَى صَفِيَّةَ أُمِّ طَلْحَةَ الطَّلَحَاتِ فَرَأَتْ بَنَاتٍ لَهَا يُصَلِّينَ بِغَيْرِ خُمُرٍ قَدْ حِضْنَ قَالَ فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ لَا تُصَلِّيَنَّ جَارِيَةٌ مِنْهُنَّ إِلَّا فِي خِمَارٍ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ وَكَانَتْ فِي حِجْرِي جَارِيَةٌ فَأَلْقَى عَلَيَّ حَقْوَهُ فَقَالَ شُقِّيهِ بَيْنَ هَذِهِ وَبَيْنَ الْفَتَاةِ الَّتِي فِي حِجْرِ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ فَإِنِّي لَا أُرَاهَا إِلَّا قَدْ حَاضَتْ أَوْ لَا أُرَاهُمَا إِلَّا قَدْ حَاضَتَا.
English Translation
Affan told us, saying Hammad bin Zayd told us, saying Ayyub told us, from Muhammad, that Aisha stayed with Safiyyah, Umm Talhah al-Talhat, and saw her daughters praying without headscarves though they had reached menstruating age. Aisha said: None of these girls should pray except with a headscarf. Indeed the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, entered upon me while there was a young girl in my care, and he threw his waist-wrap over me and said: Split it between this one and the girl who is in the care of Umm Salamah, for I think she has begun to menstruate -- or I think the two of them have begun to menstruate.
