Hadith #236
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ جَبَلَةَ بْنِ سُحَيْمٍ قَالَ كَانَ ابْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ يَرْزُقُنَا التَّمْرَ قَالَ وَقَدْ كَانَ أَصَابَ النَّاسَ يَوْمَئِذٍ جَهْدٌ فَكُنَّا نَأْكُلُ فَيَمُرُّ عَلَيْنَا ابْنُ عُمَرَ وَنَحْ
نُ نَأْكُلُ فَيَقُولُ لَا تُقَارِنُوا فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنْ الْإِقْرَانِ إِلَّا أَنْ يَسْتَأْذِنَ الرَّجُلُ أَخَاهُ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ لَا أَرَى فِي الِاسْتِئْذَانِ إِلَّا أَنَّ الْكَلِمَةَ مِنْ كَلَامِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ
Isnad Chain
English Translation
It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar (رضي الله عنهما) — via Muhammad, from Shu'ba, from Jabala ibn Suhaym — that he said: 'Ibn al-Zubayr used to give us dates as rations — and the people at that time had been struck by hardship. We were eating when Ibn 'Umar passed by us and said: "Do not eat two dates at a time [al-qiran] — for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade al-iqran, unless a man asks permission of his brother."' Shu'ba said: 'I do not believe the permission clause is part of the hadith — rather it appears to be from Ibn 'Umar's own words.'
