Sunan Ibn Majah: Book 1, Hadith 371

It was narrated that Umm Salamah said: “I was with the Messenger of Allah under his blanket, then I felt that I was menstruating as women do, so I slipped out from under the cover. The Messenger of Allah said: ‘Are you menstruating?’ I said: ‘I feel that I am menstruating as women do.’ He said: ‘That is what Allah has decreed for the daughters of Adam.’ So I slipped out and sorted myself out, then I came back, and the Messenger of Allah said to me: ‘Come under the cover with me,’ so I went in with him.'”

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، قَالَتْ كُنْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فِي لِحَافِهِ فَوَجَدْتُ مَا تَجِدُ النِّسَاءُ مِنَ الْحَيْضَةِ فَانْسَلَلْتُ مِنَ اللِّحَافِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ‏”‏ أَنَفِسْتِ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ وَجَدْتُ مَا تَجِدُ النِّسَاءُ مِنَ الْحَيْضَةِ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏”‏ ذَلِكَ مَا كَتَبَ اللَّهُ عَلَى بَنَاتِ آدَمَ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ قَالَتْ فَانْسَلَلْتُ فَأَصْلَحْتُ مِنْ شَأْنِي ثُمَّ رَجَعْتُ فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ‏”‏ تَعَالَىْ فَادْخُلِي مَعِي فِي اللِّحَافِ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ قَالَتْ فَدَخَلْتُ مَعَهُ ‏.‏

Sunan Ibn Majah: Book 1, Hadith 371
Hasan (Darussalam)

 
The above hadith is from the Sunan Ibn Majah collection of hadiths. Ibn Majah’s Sunan is an integral part of the six most revered hadith collections in Sunni Islam. Compiled in the 3rd century AH (9th century CE), this volume consists of about 4,000 hadiths that span a vast range of Islamic sciences. Readers will find chapters dedicated to creed, the intricacies of devotional practices, guidelines for ethical behavior, and legal opinions on social conduct. A critical aspect of this collection is that it is often subject to more scrutiny regarding its authenticity. Experts in hadith criticism have pointed out that it contains a number of narrations considered weak or problematic when measured against the rigorous standards of the other five books. Even so, it is an indispensable work for those pursuing advanced Islamic studies.
