Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ الْمِصِّيصِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ، عَنِ الشِّفَاءِ بِنْتِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَتْ دَخَلَ عَلَىَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَأَنَا عِنْدَ حَفْصَةَ فَقَالَ لِي ‏"‏ أَلاَ تُعَلِّمِينَ هَذِهِ رُقْيَةَ النَّمْلَةِ كَمَا عَلَّمْتِيهَا الْكِتَابَةَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Ibrahim ibn Mahdi al-Missisi narrated to us: ʿAli ibn Mushir narrated to us, from ʿAbd al-ʿAziz ibn ʿUmar ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAziz, from Salih ibn Kaysan, from Abu Bakr ibn Sulayman ibn Abi Hathmah, from al-Shifaʾ daughter of ʿAbd Allah, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came in while I was with Hafsah and said to me: “Why do you not teach this woman the incantation for namlah, as you taught her writing?”
