Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، أَخْبَرَنَا جُوَيْرِيَةُ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ كَانُوا يَتَبَايَعُونَ الْجَزُورَ إِلَى حَبَلِ الْحَبَلَةِ، فَنَهَى النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنْهُ‏.‏ فَسَّرَهُ نَافِعٌ أَنْ تُنْتَجَ النَّاقَةُ مَا فِي بَطْنِهَا‏.‏

Translation

Musa ibn Ismail narrated to us: Juwayriya informed us, from Nafi, from Abdullah, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: They used to trade camels on the basis of habal al-habala, and the Prophet forbade it. Nafi explained it as waiting until the she-camel gives birth to what is in her womb.
