Hadith #315
حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مَنْصُورٌ، عَنْ أُمِّهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً، مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ قَالَتْ لِلنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَيْفَ أَغْتَسِلُ مِنَ الْمَحِيضِ قَالَ " خُذِي فِرْصَةً مُمَسَّكَةً، فَتَوَضَّئِي ثَلاَثًا ". ثُمَّ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم اسْتَحْيَا فَأَعْرَضَ بِوَجْهِهِ أَوْ قَالَ " تَوَضَّئِي بِهَا " فَأَخَذْتُهَا فَجَذَبْتُهَا فَأَخْبَرْتُهَا بِمَا يُرِيدُ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم.
An Ansari woman asked the Prophet (ﷺ) how to take a bath after finishing from the menses. He replied,
"Take a piece a cloth perfumed with musk and clean the private parts with it thrice." The Prophet (ﷺ) felt
shy and turned his face. So I pulled her to me and told her what the Prophet (ﷺ) meant.
