دَخَلَتْ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) امْرَأَةٌ فَسَأَلَتْهُ عَنِ الْمَرْأَةِ يَسْتَمِرُّ بِهَا الدَّمُ فَلَا تَدْرِي حَيْضٌ هُوَ أَوْ غَيْرُهُ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهَا إِنَّ دَمَ الْحَيْضِ حَارٌّ عَبِيطٌ أَسْوَدُ لَهُ دَفْعٌ وَ حَرَارَةٌ وَ دَمَ الِاسْتِحَاضَةِ أَصْفَرُ بَارِدٌ فَإِذَا كَانَ لِلدَّمِ حَرَارَةٌ وَ دَفْعٌ وَ سَوَادٌ فَلْتَدَعِ الصَّلَاةَ قَالَ فَخَرَجَتْ وَ هِيَ تَقُولُ وَ اللَّهِ أَنْ لَوْ كَانَ امْرَأَةً مَا زَادَ عَلَى هَذَا .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hafs Bin Al Bakhtary who said, ‘A woman came over to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> and she asked him<sup>asws</sup> about the woman whose bleeding is continuous with her, so she does not know whether it is menstruation (<span class="iTxt">Haydh</span>) or something else. So he<sup>asws</sup> said to her: ‘The blood of the menstruation (<span class="iTxt">Haydh</span>) is warm, thick, black, there being a spurt for it and heat; and the blood of the inter-period bleeding (<span class="iTxt">Istihaaza</span>) is yellow, cold. So when there was heat and spurting and blackness for the blood, so let her leave the <span class="iTxt">Salaat</span>’. He (the narrator) said, ‘So she went out and she was saying, ‘By Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! Had he<sup>asws</sup> been a woman, she would not have increased upon this (explanation)’.
