Sahih al-Bukhari 7076 (Book 96, Hadith 84)
Narrated `Aisha:
A woman asked the Prophet (ﷺ) about the periods: How to take a bath after the periods. He said, “Take a
perfumed piece of cloth and clean yourself with it.” She said,’ “How shall I clean myself with it, O
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)?” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Clean yourself” She said again, “How shall I clean myself, O
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)?” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Clean yourself with it.” Then I knew what Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)
meant. So I pulled her aside and explained it to her.
