I said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Do you like to have (my sister) the daughter of Abu Sufyan?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "What shall I do (with her)?" I said, "Marry her." He said, "Do you like that?" I said, "(Yes), for even now I am not your only wife, so I like that my sister should share you with me." He said, "She is not lawful for me (to marry)." I said, "We have heard that you want to marry." He said, "The daughter of Um Salama?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Even if she were not my stepdaughter, she should be unlawful for me to marry, for Thuwaiba suckled me and her father (Abu Salama). So you should neither present your daughters, nor your sisters, to me."  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَلْ لَكَ فِي بِنْتِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ قَالَ فَأَفْعَلُ مَاذَا قُلْتُ تَنْكِحُ قَالَ أَتُحِبِّينَ قُلْتُ لَسْتُ لَكَ بِمُخْلِيَةٍ وَأَحَبُّ مَنْ شَرِكَنِي فِيكَ أُخْتِي قَالَ إِنَّهَا لاَ تَحِلُّ لِي قُلْتُ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّكَ تَخْطُبُ قَالَ ابْنَةَ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ لَوْ لَمْ تَكُنْ رَبِيبَتِي مَا حَلَّتْ لِي أَرْضَعَتْنِي وَأَبَاهَا ثُوَيْبَةُ فَلاَ تَعْرِضْنَ عَلَىَّ بَنَاتِكُنَّ وَلاَ أَخَوَاتِكُنَّ وَقَالَ اللَّيْثُ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ دُرَّةُ بِنْتُ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to me and I said to him: Have you any inclination towards my the daughter of Abu Sufyan? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Then what should I do? I said: Marry her. He said: Do you like that? I said: I am not the exclusive (wife) of yours; I, therefore, wish to join my sister in good. He, said: She is not lawful for me. I said: I have been informed that you have given the proposal of marriage to Durrah daughter of Abu Salama He raid: You mean the daughter of Umm Salama? I said: Yes. He said: Even if she had not been my step-daughter brought up under my guardianship, she would not have been lawful for me, for she is the daughter of my foster-brother (Hamza), for Thuwaiba had suckled me and her father. So do not give me the proposal of the marriage of your daughters and sisters.  

دَخَلَ عَلَىَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ هَلْ لَكَ فِي أُخْتِي بِنْتِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ فَقَالَ أَفْعَلُ مَاذَا قُلْتُ تَنْكِحُهَا قَالَ أَوَتُحِبِّينَ ذَلِكَ قُلْتُ لَسْتُ لَكَ بِمُخْلِيَةٍ وَأَحَبُّ مَنْ شَرِكَنِي فِي الْخَيْرِ أُخْتِي قَالَ فَإِنَّهَا لاَ تَحِلُّ لِي قُلْتُ فَإِنِّي أُخْبِرْتُ أَنَّكَ تَخْطُبُ دُرَّةَ بِنْتَ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ قَالَ بِنْتَ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ لَوْ أَنَّهَا لَمْ تَكُنْ رَبِيبَتِي فِي حَجْرِي مَا حَلَّتْ لِي إِنَّهَا ابْنَةُ أَخِي مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ أَرْضَعَتْنِي وَأَبَاهَا ثُوَيْبَةُ فَلاَ تَعْرِضْنَ عَلَىَّ بَنَاتِكُنَّ وَلاَ أَخَوَاتِكُنَّ  

Umm Salamah reported Umm Habibah said “Are you interested in my sister, Apostle of Allaah ﷺ?” He said “What should I do?” She said “You marry her” He said “Your sister?” She said “Yes”. He said “Do you like that?” she said “I am not alone with you of those who share me in this good, my sister is most to my liking. He said “She is not lawful for me.” She said “By Allaah, I was told that you were going to betroth with you Darrah to Durrah , the narrator Zuhair doubted the daughter of Abu Salamah. He said “The daughter of Umm Salamah? She said “Yes”. He said “(She is my step daughter). Even if she had not been my step daughter under my protection, she would not have been lawful for me. She is my foster niece (daughter of my brother by fosterage). Thuwaibah suckled me as well as his father (Abu Salamah). So do not present to me your daughters and your sisters.

[Machine] Umm Habiba, the wife of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , came and said, "O Messenger of Allah, do you have any interest in my sister?" He asked, "What will I do with her?" She said, "Marry her." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "And do you approve of that?" She said, "Yes, I am not forbidden to you, and who is more deserving to share in the goodness of my sister than you?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said, "She is not permissible for me." She said, "By Allah, I have heard that you are proposing to marry Durrah, the daughter of Umm Salamah's son (from a previous marriage). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If she were permissible for me, I would not have married her. She has breastfed me and her father, Thuwaybah, was the wet nurse of the Banu Hashim. So, do not propose any of your sisters or daughters to me."  

جَاءَتْ أُمُّ حَبِيبَةَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَلْ لَكَ فِي أُخْتِي؟ قَالَ فَأَصْنَعُ بِهَا مَاذَا؟ قَالَتْ تَزَوَّجُهَا فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَتُحِبِّينَ ذَلِكَ؟ فَقَالَتْ نَعَمْ لَسْتُ لَكَ بِمُخْلِيَةٍ وَأَحَقُّ مَنْ شَرِكَنِي فِي خَيْرٍ أُخْتِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّهَا لَا تَحِلُّ لِي قَالَتْ فَوَاللهِ لَقَدْ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّكَ تَخْطُبُ دُرَّةَ ابْنَةَ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ بِنْتَ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَوْ كَانَتْ تَحِلُّ لِي لَمَا تَزَوَّجْتُهَا قَدْ أَرْضَعَتْنِي وَأَبَاهَا ثُوَيْبَةُ مَوْلَاةُ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ فَلَا تَعْرِضْنَ عَلَيَّ أَخَوَاتِكُنَّ وَلَا بَنَاتِكُنَّ  

“Marry my sister 'Azzah.” The Messenger of Allah said: 'Would you like that? “She said: “Yes, O Messenger of Allah. I am not the only one living with you and the one who most deserves to share good thingswith me is my sister.” The Messenger of Allah said: “But that is not permissible for me.” She said: “But we throught that you wanted to marry Durrah bint Abi Salmah.” The Messenger of Allah said: The daughter of Umm Salamah?” She said: “Yes” The Messenger of Allah said: “Even if she were not my step-daughter who is under my care, she would not be permissible for me, because she is the daughter of my brother through breastfeeding. Tuwaibah breastfed both her father and I. So do not offer your sisters and daughters to me for marriage.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1939)   

يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ انْكِحْ بِنْتَ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ لِأُخْتِهَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «وَتُحِبِّينَ ذَلِكَ» قَالَتْ نَعَمْ وَأَحَبُّ مَنْ يُشَارِكُنِي فِي خَيْرٍ أُخْتِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ لَا يَحِلُّ» قَالَتْ أُمُّ حَبِيبَةَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ حُدِّثْنَا أَنَّكَ تُنْكِحُ دُرَّةَ بِنْتَ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ قَالَ «ابْنَةُ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ?» فَقَالَتْ أُمُّ حَبِيبَةَ نَعَمْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَوْ أَنَّهَا لَمْ تَكُنْ رَبِيبَتِي فِي حِجْرِي مَا حَلَّتْ لِي إِنَّهَا ابْنَةُ أَخِي مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةَ أَرْضَعَتْنِي وَأَبَا سَلَمَةَ ثُوَيْبَةُ فَلَا تَعْرِضْنَ عَلَيَّ بَنَاتِكُنَّ وَلَا أَخَوَاتِكُنَّ»  

[Machine] "O Messenger of Allah, do you have any interest in my sister, the daughter of Abu Sufyan?" He said, "No, she is not permissible for me." She said, "I have heard that you are proposing to Durrah, the daughter of Abu Salama." He said, "She is the daughter of my foster mother, and even if she was not my foster sister, she would not have been permissible for me. She breastfed me and Thawiba as well. So, do not present to me your sisters or daughters."  

يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَلْ لَكَ فِي أُخْتِي بِنْتِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ؟ قَالَ «لَا إِنَّهَا لَا تَحِلُّ لِي» قَالَتْ إِنَّهُ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّكَ تَخْطُبُ دُرَّةَ بِنْتَ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ قَالَ «بِنْتُ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ وَاللهِ لَوْ لَمْ تَكُنْ رَبِيبَتِي فِي حِجْرِي مَا حَلَّتْ لِي إِنَّهَا بِنْتُ أَخِي مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ أَرْضَعَتْنِي وَإِيَّاهَا ثُوَيْبَةُ فَلَا تَعْرِضْنَ عَلَيَّ أَخَوَاتِكُنَّ وَلَا بَنَاتِكُنَّ»  

[Machine] Um Habiba, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ , said, "O Messenger of Allah, marry my sister, the daughter of Abu Sufyan." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked her, "Do you like that?" She replied, "I have no objection, and no one is better than you to marry my sister." He said, "It is not permissible for me." She said, "By Allah, we have heard that you intend to marry Durrat, the daughter of Um Salama." He asked, "The daughter of Um Salama?" She replied, "Yes." He said, "By Allah, if she was not my foster sister, it would have been permissible for me. She is the daughter of my brother through breastfeeding, and she breastfed me and Thawiba. So, do not offer your daughters or sisters to me."

[Machine] She said, "O Messenger of Allah, do you have any interest in marrying Hamnah bint Abi Sufyan?" He asked, "What shall I do?" She replied, "Marry her." He then asked, "Does she qualify for me?" She said, "By Allah, I was informed that you are proposing to Zainab bint Abi Salama." He said, "My foster-sister is in my house and by Allah, if she was not my foster-sister, she would be my niece as she breastfed me and Thawiba as well. Therefore, do not present your daughters, sisters, or mothers to me."

I said, "I want to marry her." He asked, "Your sister?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Do you really want that?" I said, "Yes, I am not compelled, and I love whoever you choose for me, even if it is my sister." He said, "She is not permissible for me."
