Question

Narrated Maymunah, the wife of Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam): “During my menses, I never prayed, but used to sit on the mat beside the masjid of Allah’s Messenger. He used to offer the prayer on his sheet and in prostration some of his clothes used to touch me.”

Is this Hadith authentic?

 

Answer

Imam Bukhari (rahimahullah) has recorded this narration in his Sahih. The Hadith is therefore authentic.

The correct translation of the Hadith is as follows:

‘Abdullah ibn Shaddad (rahimahullah) says, “I heard my maternal aunt, Maymunah the wife of Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) [say] that during her menses she would not offer Salah but used to sit beside where Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) would make sajdah and he would be on his prayer mat. When he would go into sajdah, some of his clothes would touch me.”

(Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 333)

Imam Muslim (rahimahullah) has also recorded this Hadith with variations in the wording.

(Sahih Muslim, Hadith: 513)

 

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.

التخريج من المصادر العربية

صحيح البخاري:
(٣٣٣) حدثنا الحسن بن مدرك، قال: حدثنا يحيى بن حماد، قال: أخبرنا أبو عوانة اسمه الوضاح، من كتابه، قال: أخبرنا سليمان الشيباني، عن عبد الله بن شداد، قال: سمعت خالتي ميمونة زوج النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، «أنها كانت تكون حائضا لا تصلي، وهي مفترشة بحذاء مسجد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، وهو يصلي على خمرته إذا سجد أصابني بعض ثوبه».

صحيح مسلم:
(٥١٣) حدثنا يحيى بن يحيى، أخبرنا خالد بن عبد الله، ح قال: وحدثنا أبو بكر بن أبي شيبة، حدثنا عباد بن العوام، جميعا عن الشيباني، عن عبد الله بن شداد بن الهاد، قال: حدثتني ميمونة زوج النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، قالت: «كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يصلي وأنا حذاءه وأنا حائض وربما أصابني ثوبه إذا سجد».
