Sunan Abi Dawud 261 (Book 1, Hadith 261) #20552
Overcoming Barriers with Menstruation

SUMMARY: Menstruation is not a barrier to performing tasks.

'Aishah said: The Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) said to me; Get me the mat from the mosque. I said ; I am menstruating. The Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) then replied: Your menstruation is not in your hand.
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدُ بْنُ مُسَرْهَدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ ثَابِتِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ نَاوِلِينِي الْخُمْرَةَ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقُلْتُ إِنِّي حَائِضٌ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ إِنَّ حَيْضَتَكِ لَيْسَتْ فِي يَدِكِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how menstruating should not be a barrier for women to perform tasks. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was asking Aishah to get him the mat from the mosque and she replied that she was menstruating. He then replied that her menstrual cycle should not stop her from doing what he asked of her. This hadith teaches us that we should not let our physical limitations stop us from doing what we need to do in life. We can still accomplish our goals even if we are facing certain difficulties or challenges in life. It also shows us the importance of being mindful and respectful of other people's needs and requests even if it may seem inconvenient for us at times.
