Purification (Kitab Al-Taharah)

Hasan (good)« Hasan Sahih » by Al-Albani

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، أَخْبَرَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى، عَنْ أَبِي سَهْلٍ، عَنْ مُسَّةَ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، قَالَتْ كَانَتِ النُّفَسَاءُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم تَقْعُدُ بَعْدَ نِفَاسِهَا أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا أَوْ أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً وَكُنَّا نَطْلِي عَلَى وُجُوهِنَا الْوَرْسَ يَعْنِي مِنَ الْكَلَفِ ‏.‏

Narrated Umm Salamah, Ummul Mu'minin: The woman having bleeding after delivery (puerperal haemorrhage) would refrain (from prayer) for forty days or forty nights; and we would anoint our faces with an aromatic herb called wars to remove dark spots

Rapporté par Umm Salamah, la mère des croyants رضي الله عنها : Une femme qui avait des saignements après l’accouchement s’abstenait de prier pendant quarante jours ou quarante nuits. Nous mettions sur nos visages une herbe parfumée appelée wars pour enlever les taches sombres
