Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ، حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ، حَدَّثَنِي طَارِقُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْقُرَشِيُّ، قَالَ جَاءَ رَافِعُ بْنُ رِفَاعَةَ إِلَى مَجْلِسِ الأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ لَقَدْ نَهَانَا نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم الْيَوْمَ فَذَكَرَ أَشْيَاءَ وَنَهَانَا عَنْ كَسْبِ الأَمَةِ إِلاَّ مَا عَمِلَتْ بِيَدِهَا ‏.‏ وَقَالَ هَكَذَا بِأَصَابِعِهِ نَحْوَ الْخَبْزِ وَالْغَزْلِ وَالنَّفْشِ ‏.‏

Translation

Tariq ibn Abd al-Rahman reported that Rafi ibn Rifaah came to a gathering of the Ansar and said: The Prophet forbade us several things today, including earnings from a slave woman, except for what she earns through work with her hands. He indicated baking, spinning, and carding wool with his fingers.
