Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ زُرَارَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ حَفْصَةَ، قَالَتْ كَانَتْ أُمُّ عَطِيَّةَ لاَ تَذْكُرُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِلاَّ قَالَتْ بِأَبَا ‏.‏ فَقُلْتُ أَسَمِعْتِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَذْكُرُ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَقَالَتْ نَعَمْ بِأَبَا قَالَ ‏ "‏ لِيَخْرُجِ الْعَوَاتِقُ وَذَوَاتُ الْخُدُورِ وَالْحُيَّضُ وَيَشْهَدْنَ الْعِيدَ وَدَعْوَةَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَلْيَعْتَزِلِ الْحُيَّضُ الْمُصَلَّى ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

‘Amr ibn Zurarah narrated to us; he said: Isma‘il narrated to us, from Ayyub, from Hafsah, who said: Whenever Umm ‘Atiyyah mentioned the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), she would say, “May my father be sacrificed for him.” I said, “Did you hear the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say such-and-such?” She replied, “Yes, may my father be sacrificed for him.” He said: “Let the young women, women in seclusion, and menstruating women go out and attend the Eid and the supplication of the Muslims. The menstruating women should keep away from the prayer place.”

Translation notes
  • The Arabic uses the abbreviated devotional phrase bi-aba, rendered in full as “May my father be sacrificed for him.”
