[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.
