The reciter: Abdullah ibn Muslimah al-Qa'nabi narrated to us, saying: Malik narrated to us from Abu al-Zinad from al-A'raj from Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih Muslim 1408a
The Shaykh : Regarding the phrase "do not combine," there are two linguistic possibilities. The first is the jussive (juzm), treating "la" as a prohibitive particle. The second is the nominative (rafa'), treating "la" as a negative particle. The scholars of rhetoric state that the negative is more emphatic, because negation affirms this ruling as if it were an established fact reported as non-existent. As for the request, which is the prohibition, it may or may not occur.
One should not combine a woman and her father's sister, nor a woman and her mother's sister in marriage.
