Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ حَدَّثَنَا شُع
ْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا جَبَلَةُ قَالَ كُنَّا بِالْمَدِينَةِ فِي بَعْثِ أَهْلِ الْعِرَاقِ فَأَصَابَتْنَا سَنَةٌ فَجَعَلَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ يَرْزُقُنَا التَّمْرَ وَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ يَمُرُّ بِنَا فَيَقُولُ لَا تُقَارِنُوا فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنْ الْقِرَانِ إِلَّا أَنْ يَسْتَأْمِرَ الرَّجُلُ مِنْكُمْ أَخَاهُ
English Translation
It was narrated — via Bahz, from Shu'ba, from Jabala — that he said: 'We were in Medina as part of an Iraqi contingent. A year of hardship struck us, and 'Abdullah ibn al-Zubayr began providing us with dates [as rations]. 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar used to pass by us and say: "Do not eat two dates at a time [al-qiran — eating two together in one bite] — for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade al-qiran, unless a man asks permission of his companion."'
