Arabic Text

وَحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ بْنِ قَعْنَبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَفْلَحُ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ كُنَّا نَتَخَوَّفُ أَنْ تَحِيضَ، صَفِيَّةُ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُفِيضَ - قَالَتْ - فَجَاءَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَحَابِسَتُنَا صَفِيَّةُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قُلْنَا قَدْ أَفَاضَتْ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ فَلاَ إِذًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏

English Translation

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported:

We feared that Safiyyah might have entered the period of menses before performing Tawaf Ifada. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came to us and said: Is Safiyyah going to detain us? Thereupon we said: She has performed Tawaf Ifada. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Then there is no detention (for us) now.
