Narrated to me al-Hakam ibn Musa: Narrated to me Yahya ibn Hamzah, from al-Awza'i — perhaps he said — from Yahya ibn Abi Kathir, from Muhammad ibn Ibrahim al-Taymi, from Abu Salama, from 'A'isha, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) desired from Safiyya some of what a man desires from his wife. They said, "O Messenger of Allah, she is menstruating." He said, "Is she then going to detain us?" They said, "O Messenger of Allah, she performed the visit (tawaf al-ifada) on the Day of Sacrifice." He said, "Then let her depart with you."
