Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ نَهَى عَنْ ثَمَنِ الْكَلْبِ وَمَهْرِ الْبَغِيِّ وَحُلْوَانِ الْكَاهِنِ ‏.‏

Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.

Hisham ibn Ammar and Muhammad ibn al-Sabbah narrated to us. They said: Sufyan ibn Uyaynah narrated to us, from al-Zuhri, from Abu Bakr ibn Abd al-Rahman, from Abu Masud, that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade the price of a dog, the earnings of a prostitute, and the payment given to a soothsayer.

  • أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ نَهَى عَنْ ثَمَنِ الْكَلْبِ وَمَهْرِ الْبَغِيِّ وَحُلْوَانِ الْكَاهِنِ ‏.

    The Arabic names three prohibited payments; rendered حُلْوَانِ الْكَاهِنِ as payment given to a soothsayer and مَهْرِ الْبَغِيِّ as earnings of a prostitute.

    Does this rendering preserve the legal sense of the three named payments?
