أَخْبَرَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ بَكَّارٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي الزُّهْرِيُّ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ، أَنَّ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتَ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، - وَأُمُّهَا أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجُ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم - أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّ أُمَّ حَبِيبَةَ بِنْتَ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ أَخْبَرَتْهَا أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنْكِحْ أُخْتِي بِنْتَ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ . قَالَتْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " أَوَتُحِبِّينَ ذَلِكِ " . فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ لَسْتُ لَكَ بِمُخْلِيَةٍ وَأَحَبُّ مَنْ يُشَارِكُنِي فِي خَيْرٍ أُخْتِي . فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " إِنَّ أُخْتَكِ لاَ تَحِلُّ لِي " . فَقُلْتُ وَاللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا لَنَتَحَدَّثُ أَنَّكَ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَنْكِحَ دُرَّةَ بِنْتَ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ . فَقَالَ " بِنْتُ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ " . فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ . فَقَالَ " وَاللَّهِ لَوْلاَ أَنَّهَا رَبِيبَتِي فِي حَجْرِي مَا حَلَّتْ لِي إِنَّهَا لاَبْنَةُ أَخِي مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ أَرْضَعَتْنِي وَأَبَا سَلَمَةَ ثُوَيْبَةُ فَلاَ تَعْرِضْنَ عَلَىَّ بَنَاتِكُنَّ وَلاَ أَخَوَاتِكُنَّ " .
Imran ibn Bakkar reported to us; he said: Abu al-Yaman narrated to us; he said: Shu'ayb informed us; he said: al-Zuhri informed me; he said: Urwah informed me that Zaynab bint Abi Salamah—whose mother was Umm Salamah, the Prophet’s wife—informed him that Umm Habibah bint Abi Sufyan told her: ‘I said, “O Messenger of Allah, marry my sister, the daughter of Abu Sufyan.”’ She said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked, ‘Would you like that?’ I said, ‘Yes. It is not that I wish to be your only wife; the person I would most like to share in what is good with me is my sister.’ The Prophet said, ‘Your sister is not lawful for me.’ I said, ‘By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, we have heard that you wish to marry Durrah bint Abi Salamah.’ He said, ‘The daughter of Umm Salamah?’ I said, ‘Yes.’ He said, ‘By Allah, if she were not my stepdaughter in my care, she would not be lawful for me. She is the daughter of my brother through nursing: Thuwaybah nursed me and Abu Salamah. So do not offer me your daughters or your sisters.’
Translation notes
The report explains the prohibitions through the stated kinship relationships and nursing: Durrah is identified as the Prophet’s stepdaughter and milk-brother’s daughter; Thuwaybah nursed both him and Abu Salamah.
