Muwatta Malik #84
Purity
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، أَنَّ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيَّبِ، قَالَ مَا تَرَوْنَ فِيمَنْ غَلَبَهُ الدَّمُ مِنْ رُعَافٍ فَلَمْ يَنْقَطِعْ عَنْهُ قَالَ مَالِكٌ قَالَ يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيَّبِ أَرَى أَنْ يُومِئَ بِرَأْسِهِ إِيمَاءً . قَالَ يَحْيَى قَالَ مَالِكٌ وَذَلِكَ أَحَبُّ مَا سَمِعْتُ إِلَىَّ فِي ذَلِكَ .
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that Said ibn
al-Musayyab was asked, "What do you say about someone who is afflicted
by a nose-bleed which does not stop? "Malik said that Yahya ibn Said
said that Said ibn al Musayyab said, "I say that he should signal with
his head." (i.e. instead of doing sajda or ruku.)
Yahya said
that Malik said, "That is what I like most out of what I have heard
about the matter."
