حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الثَّقَفِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " لاَ يَحِلُّ لاِمْرَأَةٍ مُسْلِمَةٍ تُسَافِرُ مَسِيرَةَ لَيْلَةٍ إِلاَّ وَمَعَهَا رَجُلٌ ذُو حُرْمَةٍ مِنْهَا " .
Translation
Qutaybah ibn Said al-Thaqafi narrated to us; al-Layth ibn Sad narrated to us, from Said ibn Abi Said, from his father, that Abu Hurayrah said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It is not lawful for a Muslim woman to travel for a night's journey unless a male relative whom she may not marry accompanies her.
