Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَاصِمٌ، قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى الشَّعْبِيِّ كِتَابًا فِيهِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ تُنْكَحُ الْمَرْأَةُ عَلَى عَمَّتِهَا وَلاَ عَلَى خَالَتِهَا ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ هَذَا مِنْ جَابِرٍ ‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn Abd al-A'la reported to us; he said: Khalid narrated to us; he said: Shu'bah narrated to us; he said: Asim informed me: I read to al-Sha'bi a written report containing a narration from Jabir, from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), who said: ‘A woman must not be married together with her paternal aunt, nor together with her maternal aunt.’ He said: I heard this from Jabir.

Translation notes
  • Asim describes reading a written report to al-Sha'bi and then explicitly says he heard this report from Jabir.
