Aishah said: Zainab daughter of Jahsh had a prolonged flow of blood. The Prophet ﷺ said to her: Take bath for every prayer. The narrator then reported the tradition (in full). Abu Dawud said: The version transmitted by Abd al-Samad from Sulaiman bin Kathir has: "Perform ablution for every prayer. " This is a misunderstanding on the part of Abd al-Samad. The correct version is the one narrated by Abu al-Walid.

This has been narrated though a different chain of narrators by Aishah. This version has the words: "She used to take a bath for every prayer.

Similarly, it was reported by Ibrahim bin Saad and Ibn Uyainah from al-Zuhri from Amrah from Aishah. Ibn Uyainah said in his version: He (al-Zuhri) did not say that the Prophet ﷺ commanded her to take bath. It has also been transmitted by al-Awzai in a similar way. In this version he said: Aishah said: She used to take bath for very prayer.
