Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَابِسٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ إِنَّمَا نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ عَنْ لُحُومِ الأَضَاحِيِّ لِجَهْدِ النَّاسِ ثُمَّ رَخَّصَ فِيهَا .
Translation
Abū Bakr ibn Abī Shaybah narrated to us: Wakīʿ narrated to us, from Sufyān, from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn ʿĀbis, from his father, from ʿĀʾishah, who said: The Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him) only prohibited eating the sacrificial meat because people were in hardship; then he granted permission regarding it.
