Messengerof Allah, I see on the face of Abu Hudhaifa (signs of disgust) on entering of Salim (who is an ally) into (our house), whereupon Allah's Apostle ﷺ said: Suckle him. She said: How can I suckle him as he is a grown-up man? Messenger of Allah ﷺ smiled and said: I already know that he is a young man 'Amr has made this addition in his narration that he participated in the Battle of Badr and in the narration of Ibn 'Umar (the words are): Messenger of Allah ﷺ laughed.  

جَاءَتْ سَهْلَةُ بِنْتُ سُهَيْلٍ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أَرَى فِي وَجْهِ أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ مِنْ دُخُولِ سَالِمٍ وَهُوَ حَلِيفُهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَرْضِعِيهِ قَالَتْ وَكَيْفَ أُرْضِعُهُ وَهُوَ رَجُلٌ كَبِيرٌ فَتَبَسَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّهُ رَجُلٌ كَبِيرٌ زَادَ عَمْرٌو فِي حَدِيثِهِ وَكَانَ قَدْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا وَفِي رِوَايَةِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَرَ فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ  

"Sahlah bint Suhail came to the Messenger of Allah and said: 'I see (displeasure) in the face of Abu Hudhaifah when Salim enters upon me.' The Messenger of Allah said: 'Breast-feed him.' She said: 'How can I breast-feed him when he is a grown man?' He said: 'Don't I know that he is a grown man?' Then she came after that and said: 'By the One Who sent you with the truth as a Prophet, I have never seen anything I dislike on the face of Abu Hudhaifah after that.'"  

جَاءَتْ سَهْلَةُ بِنْتُ سُهَيْلٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي أَرَى فِي وَجْهِ أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ مِنْ دُخُولِ سَالِمٍ عَلَىَّ قَالَ فَأَرْضِعِيهِ قَالَتْ وَكَيْفَ أُرْضِعُهُ وَهُوَ رَجُلٌ كَبِيرٌ فَقَالَ أَلَسْتُ أَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ رَجُلٌ كَبِيرٌ ثُمَّ جَاءَتْ بَعْدُ فَقَالَتْ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ نَبِيًّا مَا رَأَيْتُ فِي وَجْهِ أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ بَعْدُ شَيْئًا أَكْرَهُ  

“Sahlah bint Suhail came to the Prophet and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I see signs of displeasure on the face of Abu Hudhaifah when Salim enters upon me.” The Prophet said: “Breastfeed him.” She said: “How can I breastfeed him when he is a grown man? The Messenger of Allah smiled and said: “I know that he is a grown man.” So she did that, then she came to the Prophet and said: “I have never seen any signs of displeasure on the face of Abu Hudhayfah after that.” And he was present at (the battle of) Badr.  

جَاءَتْ سَهْلَةُ بِنْتُ سُهَيْلٍ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أَرَى فِي وَجْهِ أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ الْكَرَاهِيَةَ مِنْ دُخُولِ سَالِمٍ عَلَىَّ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَرْضِعِيهِ قَالَتْ كَيْفَ أُرْضِعُهُ وَهُوَ رَجُلٌ كَبِيرٌ فَتَبَسَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّهُ رَجُلٌ كَبِيرٌ فَفَعَلَتْ فَأَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ مَا رَأَيْتُ فِي وَجْهِ أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ شَيْئًا أَكْرَهُهُ بَعْدُ وَكَانَ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا  

"Sahlah bint Suhail came to the Messenger of Allah and said: 'I see (displeasure) in the face of Abu Hudhaifah when Salim enters upon me.' The Messenger of Allah said: 'Breast-feed him.' She said: 'How can I breast-feed him when he is a grown man?' He said: 'Don't I know that he is a grown man?' Then she came after that and said: 'By the One Who sent you with the truth as a Prophet, I have never seen anything I dislike on the face of Abu Hudhaifah after that.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3320)   

يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ إِنِّي أَرَى فِي وَجْهِ أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ مِنْ دُخُولِ سَالِمٍ عَلَيَّ فَقَالَ أَرْضِعِيهِ فَقَالَتْ كَيْفَ أُرْضِعُهُ وَهُوَ رَجُلٌ كَبِيرٌ؟ فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُاللهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَلَسْتُ أَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ رَجُلٌ كَبِيرٌ ثُمَّ جَاءَتْ فَقَالَتْ مَا رَأَيْتُ فِي وَجْهِ أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ شَيْئًا أَكْرَهُهُ  

[Machine] Sahla bint Suhail came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I see something concerning in the face of my father, Hudhaifah." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Breastfeed him." She replied, "But he is old." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ smiled and said, "Am I not aware that he is a man?" So she did as he instructed and came to him again, saying, "By the One who honored you with what He honored you with, I did not see anything concerning in the face of my father, Hudhaifah."  

جَاءَتْ سَهْلَةُ بِنْتُ سُهَيْلٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي لَأَرَى فِي وَجْهِ أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ مِنْ أَمَرِ سَالِمٍ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَرْضِعِيهِ» فَقَالَتْ إِنَّهُ كَبِيرٌ فَتَبَسَّمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ «أَلَيْسَ أَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ رَجُلٌ؟» قَالَتْ فَفَعَلَتْ فَأَتَتْهُ فَقَالَتْ وَالَّذِي أَكْرَمَكَ بِمَا أَكْرَمَكَ بِهِ مَا رَأَيْتُ فِي وَجْهِ أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ شَيْئًا  

[Machine] Sahla bint Suheil came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I see something troubling in the face of my father Hudhayfah." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Breastfeed him." She replied, "But he is old." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ smiled and said, "Don't I know that he is a man?" Then she came again and said, "By the One who has honored you with what He has honored you with, I have not noticed anything in the face of my father Hudhayfah after that."  

جَاءَتْ سَهْلَةُ بِنْتُ سُهَيْلٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي لَأَرَى فِي وَجْهِ أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ مِنْ أَمْرِ سَالِمٍ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَرْضِعِيهِ» فَقَالَتْ إِنَّهُ كَبِيرٌ فَتَبَسَّمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «أَوَ لَيْسَ أَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ رَجُلٌ» ؟ ثُمَّ جَاءَتْ فَقَالَتْ وَالَّذِي أَكْرَمَكَ بِمَا أَكْرَمَكَ بِهِ مَا رَأَيْتُ فِي وَجْهِ أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ شَيْئًا بَعْدُ  

[Machine] Sahlah, the daughter of Suhail, came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "I see the resemblance of Salim in the face of my father." He said, "Breastfeed him." She said, "How can I breastfeed him while he is a grown man?" He said, "I know that he is a grown man." Later, she came again and said, "By the One who sent you with the truth as a Prophet, I have not seen anything in the face of my father after this that I dislike except for what Sufyan Al-Thawri has differed with." So he sent the Hadith (about breastfeeding) as evidence. 5451: Muhammad bin Bashshar reported to us, he said: Abdul Rahman, meaning Ibn Mahdi, reported to us, from Sufyan, meaning Al-Thawri, from Abdul Rahman ibn Al-Qasim, from his father, that the Prophet ﷺ said to Sahlah, "Breastfeed him." She said, "But he is a man." Thus, the Hadith was transmitted.
