Sunan ad-Darimi — Hadith #53865

Abu Al-Numan told us, Hammad told us, on the authority of Ayyub, on the authority of Abu Qalaba, on the authority of Mu’adh: that a woman asked Aisha, may God be pleased with her: Does one of us perform the prayers on her menstrual days? She said: “Are you a free woman?” One of us used to menstruate during the time of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace. Peace be upon him, so do not be commanded to make up for it.” Abu al-Nu’man told us, Hammad told us, on the authority of Yazid al-Rashk, on the authority of Mu’adh, Abu al-Nu’man said: “ It is as if Hammad separated the hadith of Ayyub and brought this.”
