حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ مَنْصُورِ ابْنِ صَفِيَّةَ، عَنْ أُمِّهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً، سَأَلَتِ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنْ غُسْلِهَا مِنَ الْمَحِيضِ، فَأَمَرَهَا كَيْفَ تَغْتَسِلُ قَالَ ‏"‏ خُذِي فِرْصَةً مِنْ مِسْكٍ فَتَطَهَّرِي بِهَا ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَتْ كَيْفَ أَتَطَهَّرُ قَالَ ‏"‏ تَطَهَّرِي بِهَا ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَتْ كَيْفَ قَالَ ‏"‏ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ تَطَهَّرِي ‏"‏‏.‏ فَاجْتَبَذْتُهَا إِلَىَّ فَقُلْتُ تَتَبَّعِي بِهَا أَثَرَ الدَّمِ‏.‏
