Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زَحْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الرُّعَيْنِيِّ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عُقْبَةَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ أُخْتَهُ نَذَرَتْ أَنْ تَمْشِيَ حَافِيَةً غَيْرَ مُخْتَمِرَةٍ وَأَنَّهُ ذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ مُرْهَا فَلْتَرْكَبْ وَلْتَخْتَمِرْ وَلْتَصُمْ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

ʿAli ibn Muhammad narrated to us; ʿAbdullah ibn Numayr narrated to us, from Yahya ibn Saʿid, from ʿUbaydullah ibn Zahr, from Abu Saʿid al-Ruʿayni, that ʿAbdullah ibn Malik informed him that ʿUqbah ibn ʿAmir informed him that his sister had vowed to walk barefoot and without a head covering. He mentioned this to the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and grant him peace), who said, ‘Tell her to ride, to wear a head covering, and to fast for three days.’
