Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ الأَنْصَارِيِّ ـ رضى الله عنه أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَهَى عَنْ ثَمَنِ الْكَلْبِ وَمَهْرِ الْبَغِيِّ وَحُلْوَانِ الْكَاهِنِ‏.‏

Translation

Abdullah ibn Yusuf informed us: Malik informed us, from Ibn Shihab, from Abu Bakr ibn Abd al-Rahman, from Abu Masud al-Ansari, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah forbade the price of a dog, the earnings of a prostitute, and the fee of a soothsayer.

Translation notes
  • The Arabic names three prohibited earnings: payment for a dog, a prostitute fee, and a soothsayer fee.
