Al-Kafi 4204

Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, raising it, said, ‘A woman asked Abu Abdullah^asws saying, ‘I was sitting (abstaining from <span class="iTxt">Salaat</span>) due to my post-childbirth bleeding (<span class="iTxt">Nafsa’a</span>), for twenty days, until I was issued with a verdict of eighteen days’. So Abu Abdullah^asws said: ‘And why were you issued with a verdict of eighteen days?’ So a man said, ‘Due to the Hadeeth which is reported from Rasool-Allah^saww saying to Asma Bint Umays, when she experienced post-childbirth bleeding (<span class="iTxt">Nafsa’a</span>) with Muhammad Bin Abu Bakr’. So Abu Abdullah^asws said: ‘Asma asked Rasool-Allah^saww and eighteen days had already come to her, and had she asked before that he^saww would have ordered her that she should wash and do what the one with the inter-period bleeding (<span class="iTxt">Istihaaza</span>) would do’.
