Arabic (Original)
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَفَّانَ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ ثنا حَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ عَنْ أَشْعَثَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ نَهَى عَنْ جِدَادِ اللَّيْلِ وَحَصَادِ اللَّيْلِ وَالْأَضْحَى بِاللَّيْلِ وَإِنَّمَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ شِدَّةِ حَالِ النَّاسِ كَانَ الرَّجُلُ يَفْعَلُهُ لَيْلًا فَنَهَى عَنْهُ ثُمَّ رَخَّصَ فِي ذَلِكَ
English Translation
Abu Sa'id ibn Abi Amr informed us, Abu al-Abbas Muhammad ibn Ya'qub narrated to us, al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Affan narrated to us, Yahya ibn Adam narrated to us, Hafs ibn Ghiyath narrated to us from Ash'ath ibn Abd al-Malik from al-Hasan who said: Picking dates at night, harvesting at night, and sacrificing at night were prohibited. That was only due to the hardship of the people's circumstances. A man would do these things at night, so it was prohibited. Then the concession was granted for that.
