Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ وَحَجَّاجٌ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ الْمَعْنَى قَالَ حَجَّاجٌ عَنْ جَبَلَةَ وَقَالَ ابْنُ جَعْفَرٍ سَمِعْتُ جَبَلَةَ قَالَ كَانَ ابْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ يَرْزُقُنَا التَّمْرَ قَالَ وَقَدْ كَانَ أَصَابَ النَّاسَ يَوْمَئِذٍ جَهْدٌ فَكُنَّا نَأْكُلُ فَيَمُرُّ عَلَيْنَا ابْنُ عُمَرَ وَنَحْنُ نَأْكُلُ فَيَقُولُ لَا تُقَارِنُوا فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنْ الْإِقْرَانِ قَالَ حَجَّاجٌ نَهَى عَنْ الْقِرَانِ إِلَّا أَنْ يَسْتَأْذِنَ الرَّجُلُ أَخَاهُ وَقَالَ شُعْبَةُ لَا أُرَى هَذِهِ الْكَلِمَةَ فِي الِاسْتِئْذَانِ إِلَّا مِنْ كَلَامِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ.
English Translation
Muhammad ibn Ja'far and Hajjaj narrated to us, they said: Shu'bah narrated to us — the meaning being the same — Hajjaj said: from Jabalah, and Ibn Ja'far said: I heard Jabalah say: Ibn al-Zubayr used to provide us dates as rations. He said: The people were suffering hardship at that time, so we would eat, and Ibn Umar would pass by us while we were eating and say: Do not combine (two dates at a time), for the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade combining. Hajjaj said: he forbade combining, except that a man ask permission of his brother. Shu'bah said: I do not think this statement about asking permission is anything but the words of Ibn Umar himself.
