Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عُبَيْدٍ قَالَ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِسَرِفَ وَقَدْ
نَفِسْتُ وَأَنَا مُنَكِّسَةٌ فَقَالَ لِي أَنَفِسْتِ فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَلَا أَحْسِبُ النِّسَاءَ خُلِقْنَ إِلَّا لِلشَّرِّ فَقَالَ لَا وَلَكِنَّهُ شَيْءٌ ابْتُلِيَ بِهِ نِسَاءُ بَنِي آدَمَ

It was narrated from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that when she experienced postpartum bleeding while she had her head bowed, the Prophet ﷺ said to her: 'Are you experiencing nifas?' She said: 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah.' She added: 'I thought women were created only for hardship.' He said: 'No, it is something that Allah has tested the women of the children of Adam with.'
