Arabic (Original)
قَالَ وَجَدْتُ فِي كِتَابِ أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ مُوسَى وَسَمِعْتُهُ أَنَا مِنْ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ مُوسَى حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُجَالِدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ قَالَ لَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا تَلِجُوا عَلَى الْمُغِيبَاتِ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَجْرِي مِنْ أَحَدِكُمْ مَجْرَى الدَّمِ قُلْنَا وَمِنْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ وَمِنِّي وَلَكِنَّ اللَّهَ أَعَانَنِي عَلَيْهِ فَأَسْلَمَ.
English Translation
He said: I found in my father's book: al-Hakam ibn Musa told us — and I also heard it myself from al-Hakam ibn Musa — Isa ibn Yunus told us, al-Mujalid ibn Sa'id told us, from al-Sha'bi, from Jabir ibn Abdullah, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said to us: "Do not enter upon women whose husbands are absent, for Satan runs in one of you like the running of blood." We said, "Even in you, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Even in me, but Allah helped me against him, so he submitted."
