Arabic text
3291 - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ عِرَاكِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ " أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، نَهَى عَنْ أَرْبَعِ نِسْوَةٍ يُجْمَعُ بَيْنَهُنَّ: الْمَرْأَةِ وَعَمَّتِهَا، وَالْمَرْأَةِ وَخَالَتِهَا "

Commentary
'Four women': The outward wording could cause a grave misunderstanding, because contracting marriage with two of them simultaneously is forbidden. The detail has preceded earlier. But because it has two forms, they are jointly called four.
