Arabic hadith text
أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي نَافِعٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَهَى عَنِ الشِّغَارِ .
Translation
Ubayd Allah ibn Sa'id reported to us; he said: Yahya narrated to us, from Ubayd Allah, who said: Nafi informed me, from Ibn Umar, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) prohibited shighar marriage.
Translation notes
Shighar is retained as the technical term for a reciprocal marriage arrangement in which each man gives a female relative in marriage to the other, typically without a separate bridal dower.
