Chapter on Menstruation, Istihada (abnormal bleeding), and Nifas (postpartum bleeding)
أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ اَلْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّ أَمِيرَ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: فِي اِمْرَأَةٍ اِدَّعَتْ أَنَّهَا حَاضَتْ فِي شَهْرٍ وَاحِدٍ ثَلاَثَ حِيَضٍ فَقَالَ« كَلِّفُوا نِسْوَةً مِنْ بِطَانَتِهَا أَنَّ حَيْضَهَا كَانَ فِيمَا مَضَى عَلَى مَا اِدَّعَتْ فَإِنْ شَهِدْنَ صَدَقَتْ وَ إِلاَّ فَهِيَ كَاذِبَةٌ».
Ahmad ibn Muhammad narrated from Muhammad ibn Isa, from Abdullah ibn Al-Mughira, from Isma'il ibn Abi Ziyad, from Imam Ja’far Al Sadiq عليه السلام, from his father Imam Al Baqir عليه السلام:
Commander of the Faithful عليه السلام said regarding a woman who claimed that she experienced three menstrual cycles in one month. He (Commander of the Faithful عليه السلام) said: 'Instruct some women from her close circle to confirm whether her previous menstrual cycles occurred as she claimed. If they testify in her favor, she is truthful. Otherwise, she is lying.'"
