Narrated Woman of Banu Ghifar: Umayah; daughter of AbusSalt; quoted a certain woman of Banu Ghifar; whose name was mentioned to me; as saying: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ made me ride behind him on the rear of the camel saddle. By Allah; the Messenger of Allah ﷺ got down in the morning. He made his camel kneel down and I came down from the back of his saddle. There was a mark of blood on it saddle and that was the first menstruation that I had. I stuck to the camel and felt ashamed. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw what had happened to me and saw the blood; he said: Perhaps you are menstruating. I said: Yes. He then said: Set yourself right i.e. tie some cloth to prevent bleeding ; then take a vessel of water and put some salt in it; and then wash the blood from the back of the saddle; and then return to your mount. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ conquered Khaybar; he gave us a portion of the booty. Whenever the woman became purified from her menses; she would put salt in water. And when she died; she left a will to put salt in the water for washing her after death.
