حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، أَخْبَرَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّ الْهُذَيْلِ، عَنْ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ، وَكَانَتْ، بَايَعَتِ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَتْ كُنَّا لاَ نَعُدُّ الْكُدْرَةَ وَالصُّفْرَةَ بَعْدَ الطُّهْرِ شَيْئًا ‏.‏
We would not take into consideration brown and yellow (fluid) after purification.
Narrated by Umm 'Atiyyah who took an oath of allegiance to the Prophet (ﷺ) said:

Context

Modern Application

Topics
