Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي بُكَيْرٍ قَالَ ثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَتْنِي خَالَتِي فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ أَبِي حُبَيْشٍ قَالَتْ أَتَيْتُ عَائِشَةَ فَقُلْتُ لَهَا يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَدْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ لَا يَكُونَ لِي حَظٌّ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ وَأَنْ أَكُونَ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ أَمْكُثُ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ مِنْ يَوْمِ أُسْتَحَاضُ فَلَا أُصَلِّي لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ صَلَاةً قَالَتْ اجْلِسِي حَتَّى يَجِيءَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذِهِ فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ أَبِي حُبَيْشٍ تَخْشَى أَنْ لَا يَكُونَ لَهَا حَظٌّ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ وَأَنْ تَكُونَ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ تَمْكُثُ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ مِنْ يَوْمِ تُسْتَحَاضُ فَلَا تُصَلِّي لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ صَلَاةً فَقَالَ مُرِي فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ أَبِي حُبَيْشٍ فَلْتُمْسِكْ كُلَّ شَهْرٍ عَدَدَ أَيَّامِ أَقْرَائِهَا ثُمَّ تَغْتَسِلُ وَتَحْتَشِي وَتَسْتَثْفِرُ وَتَنَظَّفُ ثُمَّ تَطَهَّرُ عِنْدَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ وَتُصَلِّي فَإِنَّمَا ذَلِكَ رَكْضَةٌ مِنْ الشَّيْطَانِ أَوْ عِرْقٌ انْقَطَعَ أَوْ دَاءٌ عَرَضَ لَهَا.
English Translation
Yahya ibn Abi Bukayr narrated to us, Isra'il narrated to us, from Uthman ibn Sa'd, from Abdullah ibn Abi Mulaykah. He said: My aunt Fatimah bint Abi Hubaysh narrated to me. She said: I came to Aisha and said: "O Mother of the Believers, I fear that I have no share in Islam and that I may be among the people of the Fire. I remain as long as Allah wills from the day I have istihadah (non-menstrual bleeding) without praying a single prayer to Allah the Almighty." She said: "Sit until the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) comes." When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came, she said: "O Messenger of Allah, this is Fatimah bint Abi Hubaysh; she fears that she has no share in Islam and that she is among the people of the Fire. She remains as long as Allah wills from the day she has istihadah without praying a single prayer to Allah the Almighty." He said: "Tell Fatimah bint Abi Hubaysh to withhold (from praying) every month for the number of days of her menstrual period, then perform ghusl, stuff cotton, use a cloth pad, clean herself, and purify herself at the time of each prayer, and pray. For that is only a kick from Shaytan, or a blood vessel that has burst, or an illness that has befallen her."
