حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، قَالَتْ: جَاءَتْ أُمُّ حَبِيبَةَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، هَلْ لَكَ فِي أُخْتِي؟ قَالَ: " فَأَصْنَعُ بِهَا مَاذَا؟ " قَالَتْ: تَزَوَّجُهَا، فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " وَتُحِبِّينَ ذَلِكَ؟ " فَقَالَتْ: نَعَمْ، لَسْتُ لَكَ بِمُخْلِيَةٍ، وَأَحَقُّ مَنْ شَرِكَنِي فِي خَيْرٍ أُخْتِي، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّهَا لَا تَحِلُّ لِي "، قَالَتْ: فَوَاللهِ لَقَدْ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّكَ تَخْطُبُ دُرَّةَ ابْنَةَ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ بِنْتَ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " لَوْ كَانَتْ تَحِلُّ لِي لَمَا تَزَوَّجْتُهَا، قَدْ أَرْضَعَتْنِي وَأَبَاهَا (١) ثُوَيْبَةُ مَوْلَاةُ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ، فَلَا تَعْرِضْنَ عَلَيَّ أَخَوَاتِكُنَّ وَلَا بَنَاتِكُنَّ " (٢)، ،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) that once Umm Habibah came to the presence of the Messenger of Allah and said, "O Messenger of Allah, are you interested in my sister?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "What do you mean?" She said, "You should marry her." The Prophet (ﷺ) asked, "Do you like this?" She replied, "Yes, I am not your only wife, so among those who can share in this goodness with me, my sister is the most deserving in my view." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "She is not lawful for me (because you are in my marriage)." She said, "By Allah, I have heard that you are going to send a marriage proposal for Durrah bint Umm Salamah." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Even if she were lawful for me, I would not marry her, because both I and her father (Abu Salamah) were breastfed by Thuwaibah, the freed slave woman of Banu Hashim. In any case, do not present your sisters and daughters before me."
