Mesorat%20hashas for Niddah 2:3

אֵיזֶהוּ אַחַר זְמַן. כְּדֵי שֶׁתֵּרֵד מִן הַמִּטָּה וְתָדִיחַ פָּנֶיהָ. וְאַחַר כָּךְ, מְטַמְּאָה מֵעֵת לְעֵת וְאֵינָהּ מְטַמְּאָה אֶת בּוֹעֲלָהּ. רַבִּי עֲקִיבָא אוֹמֵר, אַף מְטַמְּאָה אֶת בּוֹעֲלָהּ. וּמוֹדִים חֲכָמִים לְרַבִּי עֲקִיבָא בְּרוֹאָה כֶתֶם, שֶׁמְּטַמְּאָה אֶת בּוֹעֲלָהּ:

What is [considered to be] after some time? As long as it takes for her to descend from the bed and rinse her [nether] face. And afterwards [if she found blood], she [retroactively] renders impurity from that time to that time [twenty-four hours earlier], but she does not render impure the man who had intercourse with her. Rabbi Akiva says: she also renders impure the man who had intercourse with her. And the Sages agree with Rabbi Akiva regarding one who sees a [blood] stain, that she renders impure the man who has intercourse with her [after she saw the stain].
