قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ قُرِئَ عَلَى الْحَارِثِ بْنِ مِسْكِينٍ وَأَنَا شَاهِدٌ، أَخْبَرَكُمْ أَشْهَبُ، قَالَ سُئِلَ مَالِكٌ عَنْ قَوْلِهِ ‏"‏ لاَ صَفَرَ ‏"‏ . قَالَ إِنَّ أَهْلَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ كَانُوا يُحِلُّونَ صَفَرَ يُحِلُّونَهُ عَامًا وَيُحَرِّمُونَهُ عَامًا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ لاَ صَفَرَ ‏"‏ .

বাংলা অনুবাদ
। ইমাম আবূ দাঊদ (রহঃ) বলেন, ইমাম মালিক (রহঃ)-কে নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম-এর বাণী ‘লা সাফারা’ সম্পর্কে প্রশ্ন করা হলে তিনি বলেন, তৎকালীন আরবের লোকেরা সফর মাসকে (যুদ্ধের জন্য) বৈধ ঘোষণা করতো। তারা উক্ত মাসকে এক বছর বৈধ এবং এক বছর নিষিদ্ধ গণ্য করতো। সেজন্য নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেনঃ কোনো সফর নেই। সহীহ মাকতু।
