Establishing Doubt When Purity Exceeds a Month and that Menstruation Occurs Once Every Month
قال أبو جعفر الباقر (عليه السلام): إن الحيض للنساء نجاسة رماهن الله عز وجل بها، وقد كن النساء في زمن نوح إنما تحيض المرأة في السنة حيضة حتى خرج نسوة من محاريبهن، وكن سبعمأة امرأة فانطلقن فلبسن المعصفرات من الثياب، وتحلين وتعطرن، ثم خرجن فتفرقن في البلاد فجلسن مع الرجال، وشهدن الأعياد معهم وجلسن في صفوفهم، فرماهن الله بالحيض عند ذلك في كل شهر، يعني أولئك النسوة بأعيانهن، فسالت دمائهن فأخرجن من بين الرجال فكن يحضن في كل شهر حيضة (إلى أن قال:) وكان غيرهن من النساء اللواتي لم يفعلن مثل ما فعلن يحضن في كل سنة حيضة، قال فتزوج بنو اللواتي يحضن في كل شهر حيضة بنات اللواتي يحضن، في كل سنة حيضة فامتزج القوم. فحضن بنات هؤلاء وهؤلاء في كل شهر حيضة وكثر أولاد اللواتي يحضن في كل شهر حيضة لاستقامة الحيض وقل أولاد اللواتي يحضن في كل سنة حيضة لفساد الدم، قال: فكثر نسل هؤلاء وقل نسل أولئك.
Abu Ja'far Al-Baqir (peace be upon him) said: Menstruation for women is an impurity that Allah the Mighty and Majestic afflicted them with. Women in the time of Noah used to menstruate only once a year until some women left their prayer niches, and they were seven hundred women. They went and wore saffron-dyed clothes, adorned themselves, and perfumed themselves. Then they went out and dispersed in the lands, sat with men, attended festivals with them, and sat in their rows.
So Allah afflicted them with menstruation at that time every month, meaning those specific women. Their blood flowed and they were removed from among the men, and they would menstruate every month (until he said): And other women who did not do what they did would menstruate once a year. He said: Then the sons of those who menstruated monthly married the daughters of those who menstruated yearly, so the people mixed.
The daughters of both groups menstruated monthly, and the children of those who menstruated monthly increased due to the regularity of menstruation, while the children of those who menstruated yearly decreased due to blood irregularity. He said: So the offspring of these increased and the offspring of those decreased.
Note:-Shaykh Hurr Amili: The hadiths indicating that menstruation occurs once every month are numerous and scattered, as previously mentioned and will be mentioned later. So the beginner (mubtadi'ah) and the woman with irregular cycles (mudtaribah) should act upon that when the blood continues if there is no distinction, as previously stated.
