حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ صَفِيَّةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ

قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَضَعُ رَأْسَهُ فِي حِجْرِي فَيَقْرَأُ وَأَنَا حَائِضٌ

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) would recline on my lap when I was menstruating, then recite the Qur’an.

‘আয়িশাহ্ (রাঃ) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম আমার হায়িয অবস্থায় আমার কোলে মাথা রেখে কুরআন তিলাওয়াত করতেন।[1] সহীহ : বুখারী ও মুসলিম।

ام المؤمنین عائشہ رضی اللہ عنہا کہتی ہیں کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم اپنا سر مبارک میری گود میں رکھ کر قرآن پڑھتے اور میں حائضہ ہوتی۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Muhammad bin Katsir] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Sufyan] dari [Manshur bin Abdurrahman] dari [Shafiyyah] dari [Aisyah] dia berkata; Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam pernah meletakkan kepalanya di atas pangkuanku, lalu beliau membaca (Al Quran), sementara saya dalam keadaan haidl

Aişe (radiyallahu anha)'dan şöyle demiştir; “Ben hayızlı iken Rasulullah (sallallahu aleyhi ve sellem) başını kucağıma koyar (Kur'an) okurdu." Diğer tahric: Buhari, hayz; Müslim, hayz; Nesai, tahare, hayz; ibn Mace, tahare; Ahmed b. Hanbel, VI

What it means

Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) used to recite this verse: {Indeed, Allah commands you to render trusts to whom they are due and when you judge between people to judge with justice. Excellent is that which Allah instructs you. Indeed, Allah is ever Hearing and Seeing} [Sūrat An-Nisā': 58]. Then he would mention that he saw the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) recite this verse then put his thumb on his ear and his index finger over his eye to emphasize the affirmation of the attributes of hearing and seeing for Allah, the Almighty, and as a rebuttal of the distorted interpretations of the verses of the Qur'an.

This gesture is not considered to be drawing a resemblance between Allah and His creation, as Allah said: {There is nothing like unto Him and He is the All Hearing the All Seeing} [Sūrat Ash-Shūra: 11]. Believing in all of the religious texts entails what was mentioned above.
