حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَنَّ ابْنَ جُرَيْجٍ، أَخْبَرَهُمْ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي هِشَامٌ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ أَتَخْدُمُنِي الْحَائِضُ أَوْ تَدْنُو مِنِّي الْمَرْأَةُ وَهْىَ جُنُبٌ فَقَالَ عُرْوَةُ كُلُّ ذَلِكَ عَلَىَّ هَيِّنٌ، وَكُلُّ ذَلِكَ تَخْدُمُنِي، وَلَيْسَ عَلَى أَحَدٍ فِي ذَلِكَ بَأْسٌ، أَخْبَرَتْنِي عَائِشَةُ أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ تُرَجِّلُ ـ تَعْنِي ـ رَأْسَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ، وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم حِينَئِذٍ مُجَاوِرٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، يُدْنِي لَهَا رَأْسَهُ وَهْىَ فِي حُجْرَتِهَا، فَتُرَجِّلُهُ وَهْىَ حَائِضٌ.

Narrator: `Urwa

English translation
Narrated `Urwa: A person asked me, "Can a woman in menses serve me? And can a Junub woman come close to me?" I replied, "All this is easy for me. All of them can serve me, and there is no harm for any other person to do the same. `Aisha told me that she used to comb the hair of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) while she was in her menses, and he was in I`tikaf (in the mosque). He would bring his head near her in her room and she would comb his hair, while she used to be in her menses
বাংলা অনুবাদ
। রওয়াহ (রহঃ) থেকে বর্ণিতঃ তাঁকে (‘উরওয়াহ্‌কে) প্রশ্ন করা হয়েছিল যে, ঋতুবতী স্ত্রী কি স্বামীর খিদমত করতে পারে? অথবা গোসল ফরয হওয়ার অবস্থায় কি স্ত্রী স্বামীর নিকটবর্তী হতে পারে? ‘উরওয়াহ (রহঃ) জবাব দিলেন, এ সবই আমার নিকট সহজ। এ ধরনের সকল মহিলাই স্বামীর খিদমত করতে পারে। এ ব্যাপারে কারো অসুবিধা থাকার কথা নয়। আমাকে ‘আয়িশা (রাঃ) বলেছেন যে, তিনি হায়েযের অবস্থায় আল্লাহ্‌র রাসূল (সাল্লাল্লাহু ‘আলাইহি ওয়া সাল্লাম)-এর চুল আঁচড়ে দিতেন। আর আল্লাহ্‌র রাসূল (সাল্লাল্লাহু ‘আলাইহি ওয়া সাল্লাম) মু’তাফিক অবস্থায় মসজিদ হতে তাঁর (‘আয়িশার) হুজরার দিকে তাঁর নিকট মাথাটা বাড়িয়ে দিতেন। তখন তিনি মাথার চুল আঁচড়াতেন অথচ তিনি ছিলেন ঋতুবতী।
