حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ أَبِي مَعْبَدٍ، مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ لاَ تُسَافِرِ الْمَرْأَةُ إِلاَّ مَعَ ذِي مَحْرَمٍ، وَلاَ يَدْخُلُ عَلَيْهَا رَجُلٌ إِلاَّ وَمَعَهَا مَحْرَمٌ ‏" ‏‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَخْرُجَ فِي جَيْشِ كَذَا وَكَذَا، وَامْرَأَتِي تُرِيدُ الْحَجَّ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ اخْرُجْ مَعَهَا ‏"‏‏.‏

Translation

Abu al-Numan narrated to us; Hammad ibn Zayd narrated to us, from Amr, from Abu Mabed, the freedman of Ibn Abbas, from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said: The Prophet said: A woman must not travel except with a mahram, and no man may enter upon her unless her mahram is with her. A man said: Messenger of Allah, I intend to go out with such-and-such an army, while my wife intends to perform Hajj. He said: Go with her.
