Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنِي هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْنٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، وَالْحَارِثُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ، قِرَاءَةً عَلَيْهِ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، عَنْ عَمْرَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ كَانَ فِيمَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - وَقَالَ الْحَارِثُ فِيمَا أُنْزِلَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ - عَشْرُ رَضَعَاتٍ مَعْلُومَاتٍ يُحَرِّمْنَ ثُمَّ نُسِخْنَ بِخَمْسٍ مَعْلُومَاتٍ فَتُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَهِيَ مِمَّا يُقْرَأُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ ‏.‏

Translation

Harun ibn Abd Allah informed me; 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 Abd Allah ibn Abi Bakr, from Amrah, from A'ishah, who said: ‘Among what Allah, Mighty and Exalted, revealed’—al-Harith said, ‘among what was revealed of the Qur’an’—‘were ten specified sucklings that establish prohibition; then they were abrogated by five specified sucklings. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) died while this was among what is recited of the Qur’an.’

Translation notes
  • The report preserves a wording difference in the introductory phrase: one version says ‘among what Allah revealed,’ while al-Harith’s version explicitly says ‘among what was revealed of the Qur’an.’ It gives the numbers ten and five and states that the former was abrogated by the latter.
