Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ ذَكَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ صَفِيَّةَ فَقُلْنَا قَدْ حَاضَتْ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ عَقْرَى حَلْقَى مَا أُرَاهَا إِلاَّ حَابِسَتَنَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهَا قَدْ طَافَتْ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ فَلاَ إِذًا مُرُوهَا فَلْتَنْفِرْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Abū Bakr ibn Abī Shaybah and ʿAlī ibn Muḥammad narrated to us; they said: Abū Muʿāwiyah narrated to us: al-Aʿmash narrated to us, from Ibrāhīm, from al-Aswad, from ʿĀʾishah, who said: The Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned Ṣafiyyah, and we said, “She has begun menstruating.” He said, “Aqraʾ ḥalqāʾ”—an expression of exasperation—“I think she is going to hold us back.” We said, “Messenger of God, she performed the circumambulation on the Day of Sacrifice.” He said, “Then that settles it; tell her to depart.”
