Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ زِيَادِ بْنِ أَنْعَمَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ رَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّهَا سَتُفْتَحُ لَكُمْ أَرْضُ الْعَجَمِ وَسَتَجِدُونَ فِيهَا بُيُوتًا يُقَالُ لَهَا الْحَمَّامَاتُ فَلاَ يَدْخُلَنَّهَا الرِّجَالُ إِلاَّ بِالأُزُرِ وَامْنَعُوهَا النِّسَاءَ إِلاَّ مَرِيضَةً أَوْ نُفَسَاءَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Ahmad ibn Yunus narrated to us: Zuhayr narrated to us: ʿAbd al-Rahman ibn Ziyad ibn Anʿam narrated to us, from ʿAbd al-Rahman ibn Rafiʿ, from ʿAbd Allah ibn ʿAmr, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘The lands of the non-Arabs will be conquered for you, and you will find there buildings called public baths. Men must not enter them except wearing loincloths, and keep women from entering them, except a sick woman or one who has recently given birth.’
