حدثنا يحيى بن يحيى، قال قرأت على مالك عن نافع، عن نبيه بن وهب، أنفقال أبان سمعت عثمان بن عفان يقول قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ لا ينكح المحرم ولا ينكح ولا يخطب ‏"‏ ‏.‏
 Nubaih b. Wahb reported that 'Umar b. Ubaidullah intended to marry Talha b. 'Umar with the daughter of Shaiba b. Jubair; so he sent a messenger to Aban b. Uthman to attend the marriage, and he was at that time the Amir of Hajj. Aban said:                      I heard 'Uthman b. 'Affan say that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) had stated: A Muhrim must neither marry himself, nor arrange the marriage of another one, nor should he make the proposal of marriage.
