Translation
Isa ibn Hammad reported to us; he said: al-Layth informed us, from Yazid ibn Abi Habib, from Abu al-Khayr, from Uqbah ibn Amir, from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), who said: ‘The conditions most deserving of fulfillment are those by which you made marital relations lawful.’
Translation notes
The closing phrase refers to the marriage contract and the lawful marital relationship established through it.
