Ibn MajahHadith #623: Sahih

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، قَالَتْ سَأَلَتِ امْرَأَةٌ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَتْ إِنِّي أُسْتَحَاضُ فَلاَ أَطْهُرُ أَفَأَدَعُ الصَّلاَةَ قَالَ ‏"‏ لاَ وَلَكِنْ دَعِي قَدْرَ الأَيَّامِ وَاللَّيَالِي الَّتِي كُنْتِ تَحِيضِينَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فِي حَدِيثِهِ ‏"‏ وَقَدْرَهُنَّ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ ثُمَّ اغْتَسِلِي وَاسْتَثْفِرِي بِثَوْبٍ وَصَلِّي ‏"‏ ‏.‏
