312 — Al-Hasan ibn Yahya narrated to us, Muhammad ibn Hatim — meaning Hubbi — narrated to us, Abdullah ibn al-Mubarak narrated to us, from Yunus ibn Nafi', from Kathir ibn Ziyad, who said: Al-Azdiyyah narrated to me, saying:

"I performed the Hajj and entered upon Umm Salamah. I said: 'O Mother of the Believers, Samurah ibn Jundub commands women to make up the prayers missed during menstruation.' She said: 'They should not make them up. A woman from among the wives of the Prophet, peace be upon him, would remain in postnatal bleeding for forty nights, and the Prophet, peace be upon him, did not command her to make up the prayers missed during postnatal bleeding.'"

Muhammad — meaning Ibn Hatim — said: Her name was Mussah, and her kunyah was Umm Bassah.

Abu Dawud said: Kathir ibn Ziyad's kunyah was Abu Sahl.

Al-Tirmidhi said in his "Sunan" (139): The scholars among the Companions of the Prophet, peace be upon him, the Followers, and those after them have agreed that a woman in postnatal bleeding abandons prayer for forty days, unless she becomes pure before that, in which case she performs the major ablution and prays. If she sees blood after the forty days, then most scholars said she does not abandon prayer after the forty days. This is the view of most jurists, and it was held by Sufyan al-Thawri, Ibn al-Mubarak, al-Shafi'i, Ahmad, Ishaq, and the people of opinion.

Al-Wars: A plant found in the lands of the Arabs, whose fruit is a pod covered, when ripe, with red glands, used for dyeing silk garments because it contains a red substance.

Al-Kalaf: Freckles that appear on the face like sesame seeds, and a dull redness that appears on the face, and al-Bahaq.

(1) Hasan due to corroboration, and this chain is weak like the preceding one.
Al-Hakim 1/175 and al-Bayhaqi 1/341 also narrated it in this wording via Abdullah ibn al-Mubarak, with this chain.
See also what precedes it.
Her saying "from among the wives of the Prophet, peace be upon him" — apparently this is one of the errors of Yunus ibn Nafi', as they have stated that he errs. Otherwise, what is meant by "his wives" here is his daughters, his relatives, and his concubine Mariyah, for none of his actual wives experienced postnatal bleeding during the time she was with him except Khadijah, and she died, may God be pleased with her, before the Hijrah. This was stated by Ibn al-Qattan in "Bayan al-Wahm wa al-Iham" 3/329.
