(111) Chapter: Those Who Narrated That She Should Not Leave The Prayer After Her Menses Finish
283
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، بِإِسْنَادِ زُهَيْرٍ وَمَعْنَاهُ وَقَالَ " فَإِذَا أَقْبَلَتِ الْحَيْضَةُ فَاتْرُكِي الصَّلاَةَ فَإِذَا ذَهَبَ قَدْرُهَا فَاغْسِلِي الدَّمَ عَنْكِ وَصَلِّي " .

This tradition has also been transmitted by Zuhair through a different chain of narrators, to the same effect. He said:
When the menstruation begins, you should abandon prayer; when the period equal to its length of time passes, you should wash away the blood and pray.
