Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: He intended to marry a Jewish woman (the narrator is in doubt, or perhaps) a Christian woman. He inquired about this from the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade him from marrying that woman. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "That woman will not make you muhsan (protected by marriage)." The narrator of this narration, Abu Bakr bin Abu Maryam, is weak, while the other narrator, Ali bin Abu Talhah, did not meet Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him).
