Sunan Abi Dawud: Book 1, Hadith 301
Sumayy, the freed slave of Abu Bakr, says that al-Qa’qa and Zaid b. Aslam sent him to Sa’id b. al-Musayyab to ask him as to how the woman who has flow of blood should wash. He replied: She should wash at the time of the Zuhr prayer (the bath will be valid one Zuhr prayer to the next Zuhr prayer); and should perform ablution for every prayer. If there is excessive bleed gin, she should tie a cloth over her private part. Abu Dawud said: It has been narrated by Ibn ‘Umar and Anas b. Malik that she should take bath at the time of the Zuhr prayer (being valid) until the next Zuhr prayer. This tradition has also been transmuted by Dawud and ‘Asim from al-Sha’bi from his wife from Qumair on the authority of ‘Aishah, except that the version of Dawud has the words: “every day,” and the version of ‘Asim has the words: “at the time of Zuhr prayer”. This is the view of Salim b. ‘Abd Allah, al-Hassan, and ‘Ata. Abu Dawud said: Malik said: I think that the tradition narrated by Ibn a;-Musayyab must contain the words: “from one purification to another”. But it was misunderstood and the people changed it to: “for one Zuhr prayer to another”. It has also been reported by Miswar b. ‘Abd al-Malik b. Sa’id b. ‘Abd al-Rahman b. Yarbu’, saying: “from one purification to another,” but the people changed it to: “from one zuhr to another.”
حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ سُمَىٍّ، مَوْلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ أَنَّ الْقَعْقَاعَ، وَزَيْدَ بْنَ أَسْلَمَ، أَرْسَلاَهُ إِلَى سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ يَسْأَلُهُ كَيْفَ تَغْتَسِلُ الْمُسْتَحَاضَةُ فَقَالَ تَغْتَسِلُ مِنْ ظُهْرٍ إِلَى ظُهْرٍ وَتَتَوَضَّأُ لِكُلِّ صَلاَةٍ فَإِنْ غَلَبَهَا الدَّمُ اسْتَثْفَرَتْ بِثَوْبٍ . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَرُوِيَ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ وَأَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ تَغْتَسِلُ مِنْ ظُهْرٍ إِلَى ظُهْرٍ . وَكَذَلِكَ رَوَى دَاوُدُ وَعَاصِمٌ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنِ امْرَأَتِهِ عَنْ قَمِيرَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ إِلاَّ أَنَّ دَاوُدَ قَالَ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ . وَفِي حَدِيثِ عَاصِمٍ عِنْدَ الظُّهْرِ . وَهُوَ قَوْلُ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَالْحَسَنِ وَعَطَاءٍ . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ قَالَ مَالِكٌ إِنِّي لأَظُنُّ حَدِيثَ ابْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ مِنْ طُهْرٍ إِلَى طُهْرٍ . فَقَلَبَهَا النَّاسُ مِنْ ظُهْرٍ إِلَى ظُهْرٍ وَلَكِنَّ الْوَهَمَ دَخَلَ فِيهِ وَرَوَاهُ الْمِسْوَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَرْبُوعٍ قَالَ فِيهِ مِنْ طُهْرٍ إِلَى طُهْرٍ . فَقَلَبَهَا النَّاسُ مِنْ ظُهْرٍ إِلَى ظُهْرٍ .
Sunan Abi Dawud: Book 1, Hadith 301
This hadith is from the Sunan Abi Dawud collection of hadiths. For those new to Islamic texts, Sunan Abi Dawud is a classic, respected collection of the teachings and life example of Islam’s Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Written over a thousand years ago by a dedicated scholar named Abu Dawud, it sits among the religion’s six most important source books. It contains thousands of entries that are thoughtfully sorted by practical topics like how to worship, how to conduct business fairly, and how to treat one’s family with kindness. The compiler was renowned for his meticulous fact-checking of each story’s origins, which is why it remains a profoundly trusted and widely studied guide for Muslims on how to live a good and faithful life.
