حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ،. وَحَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عُقْبَةُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، أَوْ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْهُ، أَنَّهُ تَزَوَّجَ أُمَّ يَحْيَى بِنْتَ أَبِي إِهَابٍ قَالَ فَجَاءَتْ أَمَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ فَقَالَتْ قَدْ أَرْضَعْتُكُمَا. فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَعْرَضَ عَنِّي، قَالَ فَتَنَحَّيْتُ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ قَالَ " وَكَيْفَ وَقَدْ زَعَمَتْ أَنْ قَدْ أَرْضَعَتْكُمَا ". فَنَهَاهُ عَنْهَا.

Abu Asim narrated to us, from Ibn Jurayj, from Ibn Abi Mulayka, from ʿUqba ibn al-Harith. ʿAli ibn ʿAbdullah narrated to us: Yahya ibn Saʿid narrated to us, from Ibn Jurayj, who said: I heard Ibn Abi Mulayka say: ʿUqba ibn al-Harith narrated to me—or I heard it from him—that he married Umm Yahya bint Abi Ihab. A black enslaved woman came and said: “I breastfed you both.” I mentioned this to the Prophet ﷺ, and he turned away from me. I moved aside and mentioned it to him again. He said: “How can you, when she claims that she breastfed you both?” He then forbade him from her.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The first route is given briefly; the second gives the report in fuller wording, including the narrator’s uncertainty whether he heard it directly from ʿUqba. The source says the Prophet forbade the marriage, without explicitly stating a divorce formula.
