أَخْبَرَنَا خَلِيفَةُ بْنُ خَيَّاطٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ ، قَالَ : كَانَ أَهْلُ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ يَصْنَعُونَ فِي الْحَائِضِ نَحْوًا مِنْ صَنِيعِ الْمَجُوسِ ، فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَنَزَلَتْ" # وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الْمَحِيضِ قُلْ هُوَ أَذًى فَاعْتَزِلُوا النِّسَاءَ فِي الْمَحِيضِ وَلا تَقْرَبُوهُنَّ حَتَّى يَطْهُرْنَ سورة البقرة آية 222 #، فَلَمْ يَزْدَدْ الْأَمْرُ فِيهِنَّ إِلَّا شِدَّةً "

Khalifa bin Khayyat told us, Abdul Wahhab told us, Khaled told us, on the authority of Ikrimah, he said: The people of the pre-Islamic period used to make… The menstruating woman is something that is done by the Magi, so that was mentioned to the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, and she came down.” #And they ask you about menstruation, say it is harm. “So keep away from women during their menstruation, and do not approach them until they have purified themselves.” Surah Al-Baqarah, Verse 222, “The matter will not increase for them except distress.”
