(daughter of Abu Sufyan) I said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Marry my sister. the daughter of Abu Sufyan." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do you like that?" I replied, "Yes, for even now I am not your only wife and I like that my sister should share the good with me." The Prophet ﷺ said, "But that is not lawful for me." I said, We have heard that you want to marry the daughter of Abu Salama." He said, "(You mean) the daughter of Um Salama?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Even if she were not my step-daughter, she would be unlawful for me to marry as she is my foster niece. I and Abu Salama were suckled by Thuwaiba. So you should not present to me your daughters or your sisters (in marriage)." Narrated 'Urwa: Thuwaiba was the freed slave girl of Abu Lahb whom he had manumitted, and then she suckled the Prophet. When Abu Lahb died, one of his relatives saw him in a dream in a very bad state and asked him, "What have you encountered?" Abu Lahb said, "I have not found any rest since I left you, except that I have been given water to drink in this (the space between his thumb and other fingers) and that is because of my manumitting Thuwaiba."  

أَنَّ أُمَّ حَبِيبَةَ بِنْتَ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ أَخْبَرَتْهَا أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ انْكِحْ أُخْتِي بِنْتَ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ فَقَالَ أَوَتُحِبِّينَ ذَلِكَ فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ لَسْتُ لَكَ بِمُخْلِيَةٍ وَأَحَبُّ مَنْ شَارَكَنِي فِي خَيْرٍ أُخْتِي فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنَّ ذَلِكَ لاَ يَحِلُّ لِي قُلْتُ فَإِنَّا نُحَدَّثُ أَنَّكَ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَنْكِحَ بِنْتَ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ قَالَ بِنْتَ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ لَوْ أَنَّهَا لَمْ تَكُنْ رَبِيبَتِي فِي حَجْرِي مَا حَلَّتْ لِي إِنَّهَا لاَبْنَةُ أَخِي مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ أَرْضَعَتْنِي وَأَبَا سَلَمَةَ ثُوَيْبَةُ فَلاَ تَعْرِضْنَ عَلَىَّ بَنَاتِكُنَّ وَلاَ أَخَوَاتِكُنَّ قَالَ عُرْوَةُ وَثُوَيْبَةُ مَوْلاَةٌ لأَبِي لَهَبٍ كَانَ أَبُو لَهَبٍ أَعْتَقَهَا فَأَرْضَعَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَلَمَّا مَاتَ أَبُو لَهَبٍ أُرِيَهُ بَعْضُ أَهْلِهِ بِشَرِّ حِيبَةٍ قَالَ لَهُ مَاذَا لَقِيتَ قَالَ أَبُو لَهَبٍ لَمْ أَلْقَ بَعْدَكُمْ غَيْرَ أَنِّي سُقِيتُ فِي هَذِهِ بِعَتَاقَتِي ثُوَيْبَةَ  

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  

I said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Marry my sister, the daughter of Abu Sufyan." He said, "Do you like that?" I said, "Yes, for even now I am not your only wife; and the most beloved person to share the good with me is my sister." The Prophet ﷺ said, "But that is not lawful for me (i.e., to be married to two sisters at a time.)" I said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! By Allah, we have heard that you want to marry Durra, the daughter of Abu Salama." He said, "You mean the daughter of Um Salama?" I said, "Yes." He said, "By Allah ! Even if she were not my stepdaughter, she would not be lawful for me to marry, for she is my foster niece, for Thuwaiba has suckled me and Abu Salama; so you should neither present your daughters, nor your sisters to me."  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ انْكِحْ أُخْتِي بِنْتَ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ قَالَ وَتُحِبِّينَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ لَسْتُ بِمُخْلِيَةٍ وَأَحَبُّ مَنْ شَارَكَنِي فِي خَيْرٍ أُخْتِي فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنَّ ذَلِكَ لاَ يَحِلُّ لِي قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَوَاللَّهِ إِنَّا لَنَتَحَدَّثُ أَنَّكَ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَنْكِحَ دُرَّةَ بِنْتَ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ قَالَ بِنْتَ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَوَاللَّهِ لَوْ لَمْ تَكُنْ فِي حَجْرِي مَا حَلَّتْ لِي إِنَّهَا لاَبْنَةُ أَخِي مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ أَرْضَعَتْنِي وَأَبَا سَلَمَةَ ثُوَيْبَةُ فَلاَ تَعْرِضْنَ عَلَىَّ بَنَاتِكُنَّ وَلاَ أَخَوَاتِكُنَّ  

(the wife of the Prophet) I said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Will you marry my sister, the daughter of Abu Sufyan." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do you like that?" I said, "Yes, for I am not your only wife, and the person I like most to share the good with me, is my sister." He said, "That is not lawful for me." I said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! We have heard that you want to marry Durra, the daughter of Abu Salama." He said, "You mean the daughter of Um Salama?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Even if she were not my stepdaughter, she is unlawful for me, for she is my foster niece. Thuwaiba suckled me and Abu Salama. So you should not present to me your daughters and sisters." Narrated 'Urwa: Thuwaiba had been a slave girl whom Abu Lahab had emancipated.  

أَنَّ أُمَّ حَبِيبَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَتْ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ انْكِحْ أُخْتِي ابْنَةَ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ قَالَ وَتُحِبِّينَ ذَلِكَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ لَسْتُ لَكَ بِمُخْلِيَةٍ وَأَحَبُّ مَنْ شَارَكَنِي فِي الْخَيْرِ أُخْتِي فَقَالَ إِنَّ ذَلِكَ لاَ يَحِلُّ لِي فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَوَاللَّهِ إِنَّا نَتَحَدَّثُ أَنَّكَ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَنْكِحَ دُرَّةَ ابْنَةَ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ فَقَالَ ابْنَةَ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَوَاللَّهِ لَوْ لَمْ تَكُنْ رَبِيبَتِي فِي حَجْرِي مَا حَلَّتْ لِي إِنَّهَا ابْنَةُ أَخِي مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ أَرْضَعَتْنِي وَأَبَا سَلَمَةَ ثُوَيْبَةُ فَلاَ تَعْرِضْنَ عَلَىَّ بَنَاتِكُنَّ وَلاَ أَخَوَاتِكُنَّ وَقَالَ شُعَيْبٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ عُرْوَةُ ثُوَيْبَةُ أَعْتَقَهَا أَبُو لَهَبٍ  

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  

Messenger of Allah, marry my sister 'Azza, whereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Do you like it? She said: Yes, Messenger of Allah, I am not the exclusive wife of yours, and I wish that the person who joins me in good should be my sister. Thereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: That is not lawful for me. I said: Messenger of Allah, we discussed that You intend to marry Durrah bint Abu Salama. He (the Holy Prophet) said: You mean the daughter of Abu Salama? She said: Yes, whereupon Messenger of Allah (may. peace be upon him) said: Even if she were not the step-daughter of mine, brought up under my guardianship, she would not have been lawful for me, for she is the daughter of my foster-brother. Thuwaiba gave me suck and to Abu Salama (also), so do not offer to me your daughters and sisters.

Thuwaibah breastfed Abu Salamah and I. So do not offer your daughters or sisters to me in marriage.'"

"O Messenger of Allah, marry the daughter of my father" - meaning her sister. The Messenger of Allah said: "Would you like that?" She said: "Yes; I do not have you all to myself, and I would like to share this goodness with my sister." The Prophet said: "That is not permissible for me."

"O Messenger of Allah, what do you think of my sister?" He said: "What for?" She said: "For marriage." He said: "Would you like that?" She said: "Yes; I do not have you all to myself, and I would like to share this goodness with my sister." He said: "She is not permissible for me (to marry)."

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 “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.

أَنَّ أُمَّ حَبِيبَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَخْبَرَتْهَا أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ انْكِحْ أُخْتِي ابْنَةَ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ فَزَعَمَتْ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَهَا أَوَ تُحِبِّينَ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَسْتُ لَكَ بِمُخْلِيَةٍ وَأَحَبُّ مَنْ شَرِكَنِي فِي خَيْرٍ أُخْتِي قَالَتْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ ذَلِكَ لَا يَحِلُّ لِي فَقُلْتُ فَوَاللهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّا لَنَتَحَدَّثُ أَنَّكَ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَنْكِحَ دُرَّةَ بِنْتَ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ابْنَةَ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ؟ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَايْمُ اللهِ إِنَّهَا لَوْ لَمْ تَكُنْ رَبِيبَتِي فِي حِجْرِي مَاحَلَّتْ لِي إِنَّهَا ابْنَةُ أَخِي مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ أَرْضَعَتْنِي وَأَبَا سَلَمَةَ ثُوَيْبَةُ فَلَا تَعْرِضْنَ عَلَيَّ بَنَاتِكُنَّ وَلَا 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. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2056)   

يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَلْ لَكَ فِي أُخْتِي ابْنَةِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ؟ قَالَ فَأَفْعَلُ مَاذَا؟ قَالَتْ تَنْكِحُهَا قَالَ وَذَاكَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكِ؟ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ لَسْتُ لَكَ بِمُخْلِيَةٍ وَأَحَبُّ مَنْ شَرِكَنِي فِي الْخَيْرِ أُخْتِي قَالَ إِنَّهَا لَا تَحِلُّ لِي قُلْتُ فَإِنَّهُ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّكَ تَخْطُبُ دُرَّةَ ابْنَةَ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ قَالَ ابْنَةُ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ؟ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَوَاللهِ لَوْ لَمْ تَكُنْ رَبِيبَتِي فِي حِجْرِي لَمَا حَلَّتْ لِي إِنَّهَا ابْنَةُ أَخِي مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ أَرْضَعَتْنِي وَأَبَاهَا ثُوَيْبَةُ فَلَا تَعْرِضْنَ عَلَيَّ بَنَاتِكُنَّ وَلَا أَخَوَاتِكُنَّ  

[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  

[Machine] She said, "O Messenger of Allah, can you have a relationship with Durrat bint Abi Sufyan?" He replied, "What will I do with her?" She said, "You can marry her." He said, "Is it permissible for me?" She said, "By Allah, I have been informed that you are engaged to Zainab bint Umm Salama." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, Zainab is prohibited for me, and she breastfed me along with Thawbah. Therefore, do not present your daughters, sisters, aunts, or nieces to me, nor your mothers."  

أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَلْ لَكَ فِي دُرَّةَ بِنْتِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ قَالَ «أَصْنَعُ بِهَا مَاذَا» قَالَتْ تَنْكِحُهَا قَالَ «وَهَلْ تَحِلُّ لِي» قَالَتْ وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ أُخْبِرْتُ أَنَّكَ تَخْطِبُ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتَ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ زَيْنَبَ تَحْرُمُ عَلَيَّ وَإِنَّهَا فِي حِجْرِي وَأَرْضَعَتْنِي وَإِيَّاهَا ثُوَيْبَةُ فَلَا تَعْرِضْنَ عَلَيَّ بَنَاتِكُنَّ وَلَا أَخَوَاتِكُنَّ وَلَا عَمَّاتِكُنَّ وَلَا خَالَاتِكُنَّ وَلَا أُمَّهَاتِكُنَّ»  

“Marry my sister 'Azzah.” The Messenger of Allah said: 'Would you like that? “She said: “Yes, O Messenger of Allah.

"O Messenger of Allah, marry the daughter of my father" - meaning her sister. The Messenger of Allah said: "Would you like that?" She said: "Yes; I do not have you all to myself, and I would like to share this goodness with my sister." The Prophet said: "That is not permissible for me." Umm Habibah said: "O Messenger of Allah, by Allah, we have been saying that you want to marry Durrah bint Abi Salamah." He said: "The daughter of Umm Salamah?" I said: "Yes."
