أَخْبَرَنَا خَلِيفَةُ بْنُ خَيَّاطٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّاب
ِ ، 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 "
