"The Messenger of Allah commanded the wife of Abu Hudhaifah to breast-feed Salim, the freed slave of Abu Hudhaifah, so that the protective jealousy of Abu Hudhaifah would be dispelled. She breast-fed him when he was a man." (One of the narrators) Rabi'ah said: "That was a concession granted to Salim." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3321)  

«أَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ سَهْلَةَ امْرَأَةَ أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ أَنْ تُرْضِعَ سَالِمًا مَوْلَى أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ حَتَّى تَذْهَبَ غَيْرَةُ أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ فَأَرْضَعَتْهُ وَهُوَ رَجُلٌ» قَالَ رَبِيعَةُ «فَكَانَتْ رُخْصَةً لِسَالِمٍ»  

[Machine] Sahlah, the daughter of Suhail, came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, Salim is called upon by his father Hudhaifah and he stays with him. He comes to see me privately while we are in a small house. And Allah says: 'Call them by [the names of] their fathers; it is more just in the sight of Allah.' [33:5]" So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Breastfeed him, and he will be forbidden for you [to marry]."  

جَاءَتْ سَهْلَةُ بِنْتُ سُهَيْلٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ سَالِمًا يُدْعَى لِأَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ وَيَأْوِي مَعَهُ وَيَدْخُلُ عَلَيَّ فَيَرَانِي فُضُلًا وَنَحْنُ فِي مَنْزِلٍ ضَيِّقٍ وَقَالَ اللَّهُ {ادْعُوهُمْ لِآبَائِهِمْ هُوَ أَقْسَطُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ} فَقَالَ ﷺ «أَرْضِعِيهِ تَحْرُمِي عَلَيْهِ»  

[Machine] That Abu Hudhaifa ibn Utbah ibn Rabiah was one of the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he had participated in the Battle of Badr. He had adopted a man named Salim, who was called Salim, the freed slave of Abu Hudhaifa. Similar to how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had adopted Zaid ibn Haritha. Abu Hudhaifa had married Salim to his nephew's daughter, Fatimah bint al-Walid ibn Utbah. At that time, she was one of the early emigrants (muhajirat) and it was then considered one of the best days for the Quraysh. When Allah revealed in regard to Zaid ibn Haritha what He revealed, saying, "Call them by [the names of] their fathers; it is more just in the sight of Allah. But if you do not know their fathers - then they are [still] your brothers in religion and those entrusted to you," everyone who had adopted such individuals had them returned to their own fathers. And if their fathers were not known, they were returned to their masters. Then Sahla bint Suhail, the wife of Abu Hudhaifa from the tribe of Banu 'Amir ibn Luay, came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, we used to consider Salim as our son, and he would enter upon me freely, while we have only one house. What do you think about this matter?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Breastfeed him five times with your milk, and he would then be prohibited for you by the bond of fosterage."  

أَنَّ أَبَا حُذَيْفَةَ بْنَ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَكَانَ قَدْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا وَكَانَ قَدْ تَبَنَّى سَالِمًا الَّذِي يُقَالُ لَهُ سَالِمُ مَوْلَى أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ كَمَا تَبَنَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ زَيْدَ بْنَ حَارِثَةَ وَأَنْكَحَ أَبُو حُذَيْفَةَ سَالِمًا وَهُوَ يَرَى أَنَّهُ ابْنُهُ ابْنَةَ أَخِيهِ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ وَهِيَ يَوْمَئِذٍ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرَاتِ الْأُوَلِ وَهِيَ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَفْضَلُ أَيَامَى قُرَيْشٍ فَلَمَّا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فِي زَيْدِ بْنِ حَارِثَةَ مَا أَنْزَلَ فَقَالَ {ادْعُوهُمْ لِآبَائِهِمْ هُوَ أَقْسَطُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَعْلَمُوا آبَاءَهُمْ فَإِخْوَانُكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ وَمَوَالِيكُمْ} رَدَّ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِمَّنْ تَبَنَّى أُولَئِكَ إِلَى أَبِيهِ فَإِنْ لَمْ يُعْلَمْ أَبُوهُ رُدَّ إِلَى مَوْلَاهُ فَجَاءَتْ سَهْلَةُ بِنْتُ سُهَيْلٍ وَهِيَ امْرَأَةُ أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ وَهِيَ مِنْ بَنِي عَامِرِ بْنِ لُؤَيٍّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كُنَّا نَرَى سَالِمًا وَلَدًا وَكَانَ يَدْخُلُ عَلَيَّ وَلَيْسَ لَنَا إِلَّا بَيْتٌ وَاحِدٌ فَمَاذَا تَرَى فِي شَأْنِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَرْضِعِيهِ خَمْسَ رَضَعَاتٍ فَيَحْرُمُ بِلَبَنِكِ»  

"I married Umm Yahya daughter of Abu Ihab. A black woman entered upon us. She said that she had suckled both of us. So I came to the Prophet ﷺ, and amentioned it to him. He turned away from me. I said (to him): Messenger of Allah! she is a liar. He said: What do you know? She has said what she has said. Separate yourself from her (wife). (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3603)   

تَزَوَّجْتُ أُمَّ يَحْيَى بِنْتَ أَبِي إِهَابٍ فَدَخَلَتْ عَلَيْنَا امْرَأَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ فَذَكَرَتْ أَنَّهَا أَرْضَعَتْنَا جَمِيعًا فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ «كَيْفَ بِهَا وَقَدْ قَالَتْ مَا قَالَتْ؟ دَعْهَا عَنْكَ»  

[Machine] He married the daughter of Abi Ihab and a black woman claimed that she breastfed them. So I went to the Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ and mentioned it to him, but he turned away from me. I then approached him from another side and said, "O Messenger of Allah, she is lying." He said, "How can that be when she claims to have breastfed both of you?" He forbade me from her. "  

أَنَّهُ تَزَوَّجَ بِنْتَ أَبِي إِهَابٍ فَزَعَمَتِ امْرَأَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ أَنَّهَا أَرْضَعَتْهُمَا فَجِئْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنِّي قَالَ فَجِئْتُهُ مِنَ الْجَانِبِ الْآخَرِ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهَا كَاذِبَةٌ قَالَ «فَكَيْفَ بِهَا وَقَدْ زَعَمَتْ أَنَّهَا أَرْضَعَتْكُمَا» فَنَهَاهُ عَنْهَا «  

[Machine] He said, "I breastfed Uqbah, who married me, and Uqbah said to me, 'I don't know that you breastfed me and didn't inform me.' So he sent a message to the family of Abi Ihab and asked them, and they said, 'We don't know that she breastfed our companion.' Uqbah then rode to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in Medina and asked him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'How is it possible when it has already been mentioned?' So Uqbah left her and married someone else."  

لَهُ قَدْ أَرْضَعْتُ عُقْبَةَ وَالَّتِي تَزَوَّجَ فَقَالَ لَهَا عُقْبَةُ مَا أَعْلَمُ أَنَّكِ أَرْضَعْتِينِي وَلَا أَخْبَرْتِينِي فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى آلِ أَبِي إِهَابٍ فَسَأَلَهُمْ فَقَالُوا مَا عَلِمْنَاهَا أَرْضَعَتْ صَاحِبَتَنَا فَرَكِبَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «كَيْفَ وَقَدْ قِيلَ؟ » فَفَارَقَهَا عُقْبَةُ وَنَكَحَتْ زَوْجًا غَيْرَهُ  

[Machine] She said, "My cousin, Abu Qays' brother, asked for permission to see me after the veil was struck upon us. So I said, 'I will not give you permission until the Prophet ﷺ comes.' When the Prophet ﷺ came, I sought his permission and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, my cousin, Abu Qays' brother, asked for permission to see me, but I refused to give him permission until I sought your permission. The wife of Abu Qays breastfed me, and Abu Qays did not breastfeed me.' He ﷺ said, 'Give him permission, for he is your uncle.'  

قَالَتِ اسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَيَّ أَخُو أَبِي قُعَيْسٍ بَعْدَمَا ضُرِبَ عَلَيْنَا الْحِجَابُ فَقُلْتُ لَا آذَنُ لَكَ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ اسْتَأْذَنْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَخَا أَبِي قُعَيْسٍ اسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَيَّ فَأَبَيْتُ أَنْ آذَنَ لَهُ حَتَّى أَسْتَأْذِنَكَ وَإِنَّمَا أَرْضَعَتْنِي امْرَأَةُ أَبِي قُعَيْسٍ وَلَمْ يُرْضِعْنِي أَبُو قُعَيْسٍ فَقَالَ ﷺ «ائْذَنِي لَهُ فَإِنَّهُ عَمُّكِ»  

[Machine] "She said, 'The brother of my father's uncle, Qua'is, requested permission to see me after the veil was struck on us. So I said, 'I will not allow you until the Prophet ﷺ comes.' When the Prophet ﷺ came, I sought his permission and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, the brother of my father's uncle, Qua'is, requested permission to see me, and I refused to grant him permission until I seek your permission. The wife of my father's uncle, Qua'is, breastfed me, and Abu Qua'is did not breastfeed me.' So he said, 'Grant him permission, for he is your uncle.'"  

قَالَتِ اسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَيَّ أَخُو أَبِي قُعَيْسٍ بَعْدَمَا ضُرِبَ عَلَيْنَا الْحِجَابُ فَقُلْتُ لَا آذَنُ لَكَ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ اسْتَأْذَنْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَخَا أَبِي قُعَيْسٍ اسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَيَّ فَأَبَيْتُ أَنْ آذَنَ لَهُ حَتَّى أَسْتَأْذِنَكَ وَإِنَّمَا أَرْضَعَتْنِي امْرَأَةُ أَبِي قُعَيْسٍ وَلَمْ يُرْضِعْنِي أَبُو قُعَيْسٍ فَقَالَ «ائْذَنِي لَهُ فَإِنَّهُ عَمُّكِ»  

[Machine] "The Quran was revealed in ten breastfeeding sessions, which were later abrogated to five breastfeeding sessions. Then, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed away, and these abrogated verses were from what we recite from the Quran."  

«نَزَلَ الْقُرْآنُ بِعَشْرِ رَضَعَاتٍ مَعْلُومَاتٍ يُحَرِّمْنَ ثُمَّ نُسِخْنَ بِخَمْسِ رَضَعَاتٍ مَعْلُومَاتٍ فَتُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُنَّ مِمَّا نَقْرَأُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ»  

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with, her) reported that it had been revealed in the Holy Qur'an that ten clear sucklings make the marriage unlawful, then it was abrogated (and substituted) by five sucklings and Allah's Apostle ﷺ died and it was before that time (found) in the Holy Qur'an (and recited by the Muslims). (Using translation from Muslim 1452a)  

أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ «كَانَ فِيمَا أُنْزِلَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ عَشْرُ رَضَعَاتٍ مَعْلُومَاتٍ يُحَرِّمْنَ ثُمَّ نُسِخْنَ بِخَمْسٍ مَعْلُومَاتٍ فَتُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُنَّ مِمَّا نَقْرَأُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ»  

that the Messenger of Allah said: 'Breast-feeding makes unlawful (for marriages) the same things that blood tie make unlawful.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1937)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يُحَرِّمُ مِنَ الرَّضَاعِ مَا يُحَرِّمُ مِنَ الْوِلَادَةِ»  

[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ who said, "Nothing is forbidden through breastfeeding except what reaches the intestines."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «لَا يُحَرِّمُ مِنَ الرَّضَاعِ إِلَّا مَا فَتَقَ الْأَمْعَاءَ»  

A’ishah reported “The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ as saying One or two sucks does not make marriage unlawful”. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2063)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا تُحَرِّمُ الْمَصَّةُ وَلَا الْمَصَّتَانِ»  

"Suckling (Al-Imlajah) once or twice does not make (marriage) prohibited." And (one of the narrators) Qatadah said (in his narration): "Suckling (Al-Massah) once or twice does not make (marriage) prohibited." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3308)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا تُحَرِّمُ الْمَصَّةُ وَلَا الْمَصَّتَانِ وَلَا الْإِمْلَاجَةُ وَلَا الْإِمْلَاجَتَانِ»  

A’ishah reported “The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ as saying One or two sucks does not make marriage unlawful”. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2063)   

«لَا تُحَرِّمُ الْمَصَّةُ وَلَا الْمَصَّتَانِ»  

that the Messenger of Allah said: “Breastfeeding once or twice, or suckling once or twice, does not make (marriage) unlawful.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1940)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَا تُحَرِّمُ الرَّضْعَةُ وَلَا الرَّضْعَتَانِ»  

[Machine] "A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I have married a woman and, beneath her, there is another woman who claims to have breastfed the newborn either once or twice.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Both the one who breastfed and the one who was breastfed are not forbidden (to marry).' "  

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي تَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً وَتَحْتِي أُخْرَى فَزَعَمَتِ الْأُولَى أَنَّهَا أَرْضَعَتِ الْحُدْثَى رَضْعَةً أَوْ رَضْعَتَيْنِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «لَا تُحَرِّمُ الْإِمْلَاجَةُ وَلَا الْإِمْلَاجَتَانِ»  

"I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, how can I pay back the dues of the one who breast-fed me?' He said: 'By giving a male or female slave.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3329)   

أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا يُذْهِبُ عَنِّي مَذِمَّةَ الرَّضَاعِ قَالَ «الْغُرَّةُ الْعَبْدُ أَوِ الْأَمَةِ»  

"I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, how can I pay back the dues of the one who breast-fed me?' He said: 'By giving a male or female slave.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3329)  

قُلْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا يُذْهِبُ عَنِّي مَذِمَّةَ الرَّضَاعِ قَالَ «غُرَّةٌ عَبْدٌ أَوْ أَمَةٌ»  

[Machine] He informed him that the Prophet ﷺ used to distribute meat in Al-Jiranah, and I was a young boy carrying the liver of the camel. He said, "Then a Bedouin woman approached, and when she came close to the Prophet ﷺ, he spread his cloak for her to sit on. So, I asked, 'Who is this?' They said, 'His mother who breastfed him.'"  

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ بِالْجِعْرَانَةَ يَقْسِمُ لَحْمًا وَأَنَا يَوْمَئِذٍ غُلَامٌ أَحْمِلُ عُضْوَ الْبَعِيرِ قَالَ فَأَقْبَلَتِ امْرَأَةٌ بَدَوِيَّةٌ فَلَمَّا دَنَتْ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بَسَطَ لَهَا رِدَاءَهُ فَجَلَسَتْ عَلَيْهِ فَسَأَلْتُ مَنْ هَذِهِ؟ قَالُوا أُمُّهُ الَّتِي أَرْضَعَتْهُ
