Hadith of Uqbah ibn al-Harith (may Allah be pleased with him)

حَدِيثُ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ (١)، ١٩٤٢٣ - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ بْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ قَالَ: وَقَدْ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ عُقْبَةَ، وَلَكِنِّي لِحَدِيثِ عُبَيْدٍ أَحْفَظُ، قَالَ: تَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً، فَجَاءَتْنَا امْرَأَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ، فَقَالَتْ: إِنِّي قَدْ أَرْضَعْتُكُمَا، فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ: إِنِّي تَزَوَّجْتُ فُلَانَةَ ابْنَةَ فُلَانٍ، فَجَاءَتْنَا امْرَأَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ فَقَالَتْ: إِنِّي قَدْ أَرْضَعْتُكُمَا، وَهِيَ كَاذِبَةٌ، فَأَعْرَضَ عَنِّي، فَأَتَيْتُهُ مِنْ قِبَلِ وَجْهِهِ، فَقُلْتُ: إِنَّهَا كَاذِبَةٌ، فَقَالَ: " فَكَيْفَ بِهَا وَقَدْ زَعَمَتْ أَنَّهَا قَدْ أَرْضَعَتْكُمَا، دَعْهَا عَنْكَ " (٢)،

It is narrated from Uqbah bin Harith (may Allah be pleased with him) that I married a woman. After that, a black woman came to us and said, "I have suckled both of you (therefore, you are foster brother and sister and this marriage is not valid)." I went to the service of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) and said, "I have married the daughter of so-and-so. After the marriage, a black woman came to us and said, 'I have suckled both of you,' even though she is lying." The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) turned his face away from this. I came from the front and said the same thing again, that she is lying. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said, "How can you stay with this woman when that black woman claims she has suckled both of you? Leave her."

حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ قَالَ: تَزَوَّجْتُ ابْنَةَ أَبِي إِهَابٍ، فَجَاءَتْ امْرَأَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ، فَذَكَرَتْ أَنَّهَا أَرْضَعَتْنَا، فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقُمْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ، فَكَلَّمْتُهُ، فَأَعْرَضَ عَنِّي، فَقُمْتُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ، فَأَعْرَضَ عَنِّي، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّمَا هِيَ سَوْدَاءُ، قَالَ: " وَكَيْفَ وَقَدْ قِيلَ " (٣)، ،

It is narrated from Uqbah bin Harith (may Allah be pleased with him) that I married the daughter of Abi Ihab. After that, a black woman came to us and said, "I have suckled both of you (therefore, you are foster brother and sister and this marriage is not valid)." I went to the service of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) and submitted, "I have married the daughter of such and such a person. After the marriage, a black woman came to us and said, 'I have suckled both of you,' although she is lying." The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) turned his face away from this. I came from the right side, and the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) again turned his face away. I submitted, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! That woman is black?" The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said, "How can you stay with that woman now when this has been said?"

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عُقْبَةُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ قَالَ: " أُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالنُّعَيْمَانِ، قَدْ شَرِبَ الْخَمْرَ، فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ فِي الْبَيْتِ، فَضَرَبُوهُ بِالْأَيْدِي وَالْجَرِيدِ وَالنِّعَالِ "، قَالَ: وَكُنْتُ فِيمَنْ ضَرَبَهُ (١)،

It is narrated from Uqbah bin Harith (may Allah be pleased with him) that once Nu’aiman was brought to the service of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) on the accusation of drinking alcohol. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) ordered all the men present in the house at that time, and they struck Nu’aiman with their hands, branches, and shoes. I was also among those who struck him.

حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي حُسَيْنٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ قَالَ: صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْعَصْرَ، فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ قَامَ سَرِيعًا، فَدَخَلَ عَلَى بَعْضِ نِسَائِهِ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ، وَرَأَى مَا فِي وُجُوهِ الْقَوْمِ مِنْ تَعَاجُبِهِمْ لِسُرْعَتِهِ، قَالَ: " ذَكَرْتُ وَأَنَا فِي الصَّلَاةِ تِبْرًا عِنْدَنَا، فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ يُمْسِيَ أَوْ يَبِيتَ عِنْدَنَا، فَأَمَرْتُ بِقَسْمِهِ " (٢)،

It is narrated from Uqbah bin Harith (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I performed the Asr prayer with the Noble Prophet (ﷺ). After concluding the prayer with salam, the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) quickly stood up and went into the room of one of his noble wives. After a short while, he came out and saw that signs of astonishment were visible on the faces of the people. He said: "During the prayer, I remembered that a piece of silver was left with us. I did not like that it should remain with us until evening or night, so I have ordered it to be distributed." The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ، حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، قَالَ: انْصَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ صَلَّى الْعَصْرَ، فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَاهُ (٣)، ،

Narrated to us by Abu Ahmad, narrated to us by Umar ibn Sa'id, from Ibn Abi Mulaykah, from Uqbah ibn al-Harith, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, departed after he had prayed Asr, and he mentioned its meaning.
