وَحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو غَسَّانَ الْمِسْمَعِيُّ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، جَمِيعًا عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ، - قَالَ أَبُو غَسَّانَ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذٌ، - حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ قَزَعَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ تُسَافِرِ امْرَأَةٌ فَوْقَ ثَلاَثِ لَيَالٍ إِلاَّ مَعَ ذِي مَحْرَمٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 827g

This narration from Abu Sa‘id al-Khudri gives the wording “beyond three nights.” The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said that a woman should not set out on a journey extending beyond three nights unless she is with a Mahram. This is closely related to other reports that mention three days, more than three days, or two days, but this specific entry should be explained by its own wording. People may search for Sahih Muslim 827g, woman travel beyond three nights, or Mahram travel hadith. The core message in the text is the connection between that travel duration and the presence of a Mahram.

What we learn from this hadith

  • This wording mentions a journey beyond three nights.
  • The report requires the presence of a Mahram in that wording.
  • Different narrations preserve slightly different travel-duration wording.
  • This entry should be explained according to its own text.
