Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ عَنْ الْحَسَنِ أَنَّ عَقِيلَ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ تَزَوَّجَ امْرَأَةً مِنْ بَنِي جُشَمٍ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ الْقَوْمُ فَقَالُوا بِالرَّفَاءِ وَالْبَنِينَ فَقَالَ لَا تَقُولُوا ذَاكُمْ قَالُوا فَمَا نَقُولُ يَا أَبَا يَزِيدَ قَالَ قُولُوا بَارَكَ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ وَبَارَكَ عَلَيْكُمْ إِنَّا كَذَلِكَ كُنَّا نُؤْمَرُ.
English Translation
Isma'il ibn Ibrahim told us: Yunus told us, from al-Hasan, that Aqil ibn Abi Talib married a woman from Banu Jusham, and the people came in to him and said, "May it bring prosperity and sons," and he said, "Do not say that." They said, "What should we say, O Abu Yazid?" He said, "Say, 'May Allah bless you and bless you further,' for that is how we used to be commanded to speak."
