Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَخَذَ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ حِينَ بَايَعَهُنَّ أَنْ لاَ يَنُحْنَ فَقُلْنَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ نِسَاءً أَسْعَدْنَنَا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ أَفَنُسْعِدُهُنَّ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ لاَ إِسْعَادَ فِي الإِسْلاَمِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Ishaq informed us: ‘Abd al-Razzaq informed us: Ma‘mar narrated to us, from Thabit, from Anas, that when the Messenger of Allah took the women’s pledge of allegiance, he pledged them not to wail. They said: ‘Messenger of Allah, there were women who joined us in mourning during the pre-Islamic period; shall we join them in mourning?’ The Messenger of Allah said: ‘There is no joining in mourning in Islam.’
