[Machine] About Nu'aibah ibn Wahb, the brother of Banu Abdul-Dar, he informed him that Umar ibn Ubaydullah sent a message to Aban ibn Uthman, and Aban was the commander of Hajj at that time. They were both in a state of Ihram (pilgrimage). I intended to marry Talhah ibn Umar, the daughter of Shaybah ibn Jubayr, and I wanted Aban to be present for that. However, Aban objected to it and said, "I heard Uthman ibn Affan may Allah be pleased with him saying, 'The forbidden person cannot marry, nor can he propose or be married.'"

Aban said: I heard Uthman Ibn Affan saying: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: "The forbidden person should not marry, nor should he be married, nor should he be sought in marriage."
