Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ جَلَبَ وَلاَ جَنَبَ وَلاَ شِغَارَ فِي الإِسْلاَمِ وَمَنِ انْتَهَبَ نُهْبَةً فَلَيْسَ مِنَّا ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Humayd ibn Mas'adah reported to us; he said: Bishr narrated to us; he said: Humayd narrated to us, from al-Hasan, from Imran ibn Husayn, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: ‘There is no jalab, janab, or shighar in Islam; and whoever commits an act of plunder is not one of us.’

Translation notes
  • Jalab and janab are retained as technical terms in the report; shighar is the reciprocal marriage arrangement. The closing expression refers to openly seizing plunder.
