Sahih al-Bukhari 1995
حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مِنْهَالٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ قَزَعَةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ وَكَانَ غَزَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ثِنْتَىْ عَشْرَةَ غَزْوَةً قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَرْبَعًا مِنَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَعْجَبْنَنِي قَالَ " لاَ تُسَافِرِ الْمَرْأَةُ مَسِيرَةَ يَوْمَيْنِ إِلاَّ وَمَعَهَا زَوْجُهَا أَوْ ذُو مَحْرَمٍ، وَلاَ صَوْمَ فِي يَوْمَيْنِ الْفِطْرِ وَالأَضْحَى، وَلاَ صَلاَةَ بَعْدَ الصُّبْحِ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ، وَلاَ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ حَتَّى تَغْرُبَ، وَلاَ تُشَدُّ الرِّحَالُ إِلاَّ إِلَى ثَلاَثَةِ مَسَاجِدَ مَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ، وَمَسْجِدِ الأَقْصَى، وَمَسْجِدِي هَذَا ".
Ḥajjāj ibn Minhāl related to us: Shuʿbah related to us: ʿAbd al-Malik ibn ʿUmayr related to us, saying: I heard Qazaʿah say: I heard Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī (may Allah be pleased with him)—who took part in twelve military expeditions with the Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him peace)—say: I heard four things from the Prophet that I found remarkable. He said: ‘A woman must not travel for a journey of two days unless accompanied by her husband or a maḥram. Fasting is not permitted on two days: al-Fiṭr and al-Aḍḥā. No prayer is to be performed after the dawn prayer until the sun rises, nor after the ʿAṣr prayer until the sun sets. And travel should be undertaken only to three mosques: the Sacred Mosque, al-Aqṣā Mosque, and this mosque of mine.’
Translation notes
The phrase لا تشد الرحال is an idiom about setting out on a journey; rendered ‘travel should be undertaken only’ in line with the established English witness. The Arabic gives the two days as al-Fiṭr and al-Aḍḥā; the witness expands their full festival names.
