Bulugh al-Maram 150
Narrated Umm Salamah (RAA)
During the lifetime of the Prophet ﷺ the women having bleeding after delivery (postnatal or puerperal blood) would refrain (from prayer) for forty days. [Reported by Al-Khamsa except An-Nasa’i, and the version is that of Abu Da’ud].وَعَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: { كَانَتِ اَلنُّفَسَاءُ تَقْعُدُ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اَللَّهِ - صلى الله عليه وسلم -بَعْدَ نِفَاسِهَا أَرْبَعِينَ } رَوَاهُ اَلْخَمْسَةُ إِلَّا النَّسَائِيَّ, وَاللَّفْظُ لِأَبِي دَاوُد َ 1 .
Bulugh al-Maram 150
In another version of Abu Da’ud
"The Prophet ﷺ did not command her to repeat the prayers (missed during the period of bleeding)."وَفِي لَفْظٍ لَهُ: { وَلَمْ يَأْمُرْهَا اَلنَّبِيُّ - صلى الله عليه وسلم -بِقَضَاءِ صَلَاةِ اَلنِّفَاسِ } وَصَحَّحَهُ اَلْحَاكِم ُ 1 .
