Sahih Muslim Book - 16, Hadith - 3450

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ شُعَيْبِ بْنِ اللَّيْثِ حَدَّثَنِى أَبِى عَنْ جَدِّى حَدَّثَنِى خَالِدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ حَدَّثَنِى سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِى هِلاَلٍ عَنْ نُبَيْهِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَعْمَرٍ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُنْكِحَ ابْنَهُ طَلْحَةَ بِنْتَ شَيْبَةَ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ فِى الْحَجِّ وَأَبَانُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَمِيرُ الْحَاجِّ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى أَبَانٍ إِنِّى قَدْ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أُنْكِحَ طَلْحَةَ بْنَ عُمَرَ فَأُحِبُّ أَنْ تَحْضُرَ ذَلِكَ. فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبَانٌ أَلاَ أُرَاكَ عِرَاقِيًّا جَافِيًا إِنِّى سَمِعْتُ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « لاَ يَنْكِحُ الْمُحْرِمُ ».

It was narrated from Nubaih bin Wahb, that 'Umar bin 'Ubaidullah bin Ma'mar wanted to marry his son Talhah to the daughter of Shaibah bin Jubair during the Hajj. At that time Aban bin 'Uthman was the Commander of Hajj. He sent word to Aban saying: "I would like to arrange the marriage of Talhah bin 'Umar and I would like you to attend." Aban said to him: "I think you are no more than an ill-mannered 'Iraqi. I heard 'Uthman bin 'Affan say: 'The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: The Muhrim should not get married."'
