أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي قَزَعَةَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " لاَ جَلَبَ وَلاَ جَنَبَ وَلاَ شِغَارَ فِي الإِسْلاَمِ " .

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 3591
This hadith gives a short list of practices that have no place in Islam: bringing, avoidance, and shighar. Its main search focus is the hadith about no shighar in Islam, but the narration also preserves the other two named terms. Since the provided translation does not define them, the explanation should not pretend that the text itself gives a full technical description. What can be said with confidence is that the Prophet rejected all three. The report calls believers to leave conduct that conflicts with the standards set in the Sunnah. It also shows the value of brief Prophetic statements: a few words can draw clear boundaries. Readers studying shighar should note the exact wording and seek detailed legal explanation from qualified scholars when needed.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Prophet directly rejected bringing, avoidance, and shighar.
- Brief hadith wording can set clear limits without giving every detail.
- Technical meanings should not be invented when the provided text does not define them.
