Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا حِبَّانُ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي حُسَيْنٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، أَنَّهُ تَزَوَّجَ ابْنَةً لأَبِي إِهَابِ بْنِ عَزِيزٍ، فَأَتَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ فَقَالَتْ قَدْ أَرْضَعْتُ عُقْبَةَ وَالَّتِي تَزَوَّجَ‏.‏ فَقَالَ لَهَا عُقْبَةُ مَا أَعْلَمُ أَنَّكِ أَرْضَعْتِنِي وَلاَ أَخْبَرْتِنِي‏.‏ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى آلِ أَبِي إِهَابٍ يَسْأَلُهُمْ فَقَالُوا مَا عَلِمْنَا أَرْضَعَتْ صَاحِبَتَنَا‏.‏ فَرَكِبَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَسَأَلَهُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ كَيْفَ وَقَدْ قِيلَ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَفَارَقَهَا، وَنَكَحَتْ زَوْجًا غَيْرَهُ‏.‏

Translation

Hibban informed us: ʿAbdullah informed us: ʿUmar ibn Saʿid ibn Abi Husayn informed us, saying: ʿAbdullah ibn Abi Mulayka informed me, from ʿUqba ibn al-Harith: He married a daughter of Abu Ihab ibn ʿAziz. A woman came to him and said: “I breastfed ʿUqba and the woman he married.” ʿUqba said to her: “I do not know that you breastfed me, and you never told me.” He sent to Abu Ihab’s family to ask them, and they said: “We do not know that our woman breastfed him.” So he rode to the Prophet ﷺ in Medina and asked him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “How can you, when it has been said?” He separated from her, and she married another husband.
