Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْنٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، وَالْحَارِثُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ، قِرَاءَةً عَلَيْهِ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ نُبَيْهِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ، أَنَّ أَبَانَ بْنَ عُثْمَانَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ، رضى الله عنه يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ لاَ يَنْكِحُ الْمُحْرِمُ وَلاَ يُنْكِحُ وَلاَ يَخْطُبُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Harun ibn Abd Allah reported to us; he said: Ma'n narrated to us; he said: Malik narrated to us—and al-Harith ibn Miskin, by recitation to him while I listened—from Ibn al-Qasim, who said: Malik narrated to me, from Nafi, from Nubayh ibn Wahb, that Aban ibn Uthman said: I heard Uthman ibn Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) say: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: ‘A person in the consecrated state must not marry, give someone in marriage, or propose.’
