Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي نَافِعٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " لاَ تُسَافِرُ الْمَرْأَةُ ثَلاَثًا إِلاَّ وَمَعَهَا ذُو مَحْرَمٍ " .
Translation
Ahmad ibn Hanbal narrated to us; Yahya ibn Said narrated to us, from Ubayd Allah, who said: Nafi narrated to me, from Ibn Umar, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said: A woman must not travel for three days unless an unmarriageable male relative is with her.
