Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ كَانَتْ عُكَاظٌ وَمِجَنَّةُ وَذُو الْمَجَازِ أَسْوَاقًا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ الإِسْلاَمُ فَكَأَنَّهُمْ تَأَثَّمُوا فِيهِ فَنَزَلَتْ ‏‏{‏لَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ أَنْ تَبْتَغُوا فَضْلاً مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ ‏}‏ فِي مَوَاسِمِ الْحَجِّ ، قَرَأَهَا ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ‏.‏

Translation

Abdullah ibn Muhammad narrated to us: Sufyan narrated to us, from Amr, from Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said: Ukaz, Majanna, and Dhu al-Majaz were marketplaces in the pre-Islamic era. When Islam came, it seemed that people regarded trading there as sinful, so the verse was revealed: “There is no blame upon you for seeking bounty from your Lord,” during the seasons of pilgrimage. Ibn Abbas recited it.
