Muwatta Malik #1416
Business Transactions
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ الأَنْصَارِيِّ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَهَى عَنْ ثَمَنِ الْكَلْبِ وَمَهْرِ الْبَغِيِّ وَحُلْوَانِ الْكَاهِنِ . يَعْنِي بِمَهْرِ الْبَغِيِّ مَا تُعْطَاهُ الْمَرْأَةُ عَلَى الزِّنَا وَحُلْوَانُ الْكَاهِنِ رَشْوَتُهُ وَمَا يُعْطَى عَلَى أَنْ يَتَكَهَّنَ .
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Abu Bakr ibn
Abd ar-Rahman ibn al-Harith ibn Hisham from Abu Masud al-Ansari that
the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
forbade the sale price of a dog, the earnings of a prostitute and the
earnings of a fortune teller.
By the earnings of a prostitute
he meant what a woman was given for fornication. The earnings of a
fortune teller were what he was given to tell a fortune.
Malik said, "I disapprove of the price of a dog, whether it is a
hunting dog or otherwise because the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, forbade the price of a dog."
