Sunan Abi Dawud: Book 1, Hadith 277

This tradition has been transmitted through the chain of narrators like that of al-Laith to the same effect. It says; She should abandon prayer considering that period (she used to menstruate). When the time of prayer approaches, she should take a bath, tie a cloth over her private parts and offer prayer.

حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا صَخْرُ بْنُ جُوَيْرِيَةَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، بِإِسْنَادِ اللَّيْثِ وَبِمَعْنَاهُ قَالَ ‏
“‏ فَلْتَتْرُكِ الصَّلاَةَ قَدْرَ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ إِذَا حَضَرَتِ الصَّلاَةُ فَلْتَغْتِسِلْ وَلْتَسْتَثْفِرْ بِثَوْبٍ ثُمَّ تُصَلِّي ‏”‏ ‏.‏

Sunan Abi Dawud: Book 1, Hadith 277

 
The above hadith is from the Sunan Abi Dawud collection of hadiths. Compiled by Imam Abu Dawud al-Sijistani, Sunan Abi Dawud is revered for its extensive and practical coverage of Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh). Its structure is deliberately thematic, with the over 4,800 hadiths sorted into dedicated books addressing specific areas of daily life and worship. This includes detailed chapters on ritual purity (tahara), prayer (salah), alms-giving (zakat), pilgrimage (hajj), marriage (nikah), and commercial law. This logical organization has made it an indispensable primary source for scholars, jurists, and students seeking the Prophetic precedents that form the basis of Islamic law and ethical conduct.
