Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، مَوْلَى الْمُطَّلِبِ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ـ رضى الله عنه أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم طَلَعَ لَهُ أُحُدٌ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ هَذَا جَبَلٌ يُحِبُّنَا وَنُحِبُّهُ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَرَّمَ مَكَّةَ، وَإِنِّي أُحَرِّمُ مَا بَيْنَ لاَبَتَيْهَا ‏" ‏‏.‏ رَوَاهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم‏.‏

Translation

ʿAbd Allah ibn Maslama narrated to us, from Malik, from ʿAmr ibn Abi ʿAmr, the freedman of al-Muttalib, from Anas ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw Uhud rise before him and said: ‘This is a mountain that loves us and that we love. O Allah, Ibrahim made Mecca sacred, and I declare sacred the area between its two lava fields.’ ʿAbd Allah ibn Zayd also reported it from the Prophet ﷺ.

Translation notes
  • Rendered lābatayhā as the two lava fields surrounding Medina, without reducing the Arabic to ‘mountains.’
