Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi from Sulayman ibn
Yasarfrom Umm Salama, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, that a certain woman in the time of the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to bleed
profusely, so Umm Salama consulted the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, for her, and he said, "She should
calculate the number of nights and days a month that she used to
menstruate before it started happening, and she should leave off from
prayerfor that much of the month. When she has completed that she
should do ghusl, bind her private parts with a cloth, and then pray."
Muwatta Malik Book 2, Hadith 105
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that he had
heard that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, used to say the following dua, "O Allah, it is You who makes
the dawn break and makes the night a time for rest and appoints the
sun and moon to reckon by. Relieve me of debt and enrich me from
poverty and let me enjoy my hearing, my sight and my strength in Your
way."
Allahumma faliqa'l isbah, wa ja ila'l-layli sakana, wa
'sh-shamsi wa'l-qamari husbana. Iqda anniy addayna, wa'ghnaniy mina'l
faqr. Na'mti aniy bi samiy wa basariy, wa quwwatiy fi sabilik.
Muwatta Malik Book 15, Hadith 29
(the wife of the Prophet) that she was told that `Abdullah bin Az-Zubair (on hearing that she was
selling or giving something as a gift) said, "By Allah, if `Aisha does not give up this, I will declare her
incompetent to dispose of her wealth." I said, "Did he (`Abdullah bin Az-Zubair) say so?" They
(people) said, "Yes." `Aisha said, "I vow to Allah that I will never speak to Ibn Az-Zubair." When this
desertion lasted long, `Abdullah bin Az-Zubair sought intercession with her, but she said, "By Allah, I
will not accept the intercession of anyone for him, and will not commit a sin by breaking my vow."
When this state of affairs was prolonged on Ibn Az-Zubair (he felt it hard on him), he said to Al-
Miswar bin Makhrama and `Abdur-Rahman bin Al-Aswad bin 'Abu Yaghuth, who were from the tribe
of Bani Zahra, "I beseech you, by Allah, to let me enter upon `Aisha, for it is unlawful for her to vow
to cut the relation with me."
So Al-Miswar and `Abdur-Rahman, wrapping their sheets around themselves, asked `Aisha's
permission saying, "Peace and Allah's Mercy and Blessings be upon you! Shall we come in?" `Aisha
said, "Come in." They said, "All of us?" She said, "Yes, come in all of you," not knowing that Ibn Az-
Zubair was also with them. So when they entered, Ibn Az-Zubair entered the screened place and got
hold of `Aisha and started requesting her to excuse him, and wept. Al-Miswar and `Abdur Rahman
also started requesting her to speak to him and to accept his repentance.
They said (to her), "The Prophet (ﷺ) forbade what you know of deserting (not speaking to your Muslim
Brethren), for it is unlawful for any Muslim not to talk to his brother for more than three nights
(days)." So when they increased their reminding her (of the superiority of having good relation with
Kith and kin, and of excusing others' sins), and brought her down to a critical situation, she started
reminding them, and wept, saying, "I have made a vow, and (the question of) vow is a difficult one."
They (Al-Miswar and `Abdur-Rahman) persisted in their appeal till she spoke with `Abdullah bin Az-
Zubair and she manumitted forty slaves as an expiation for her vow. Later on, whenever she
remembered her vow, she used to weep so much that her veil used to become wet with her tears.
