أَخْبَرَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ بَيَانٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَنَّ عُرْوَةَ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ، حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، أَنَّ أُمَّ حَبِيبَةَ، زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنْكِحْ بِنْتَ أَبِي تَعْنِي أُخْتَهَا . فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " وَتُحِبِّينَ ذَلِكِ " . قَالَتْ نَعَمْ لَسْتُ لَكَ بِمُخْلِيَةٍ وَأَحَبُّ مَنْ شَرِكَتْنِي فِي خَيْرٍ أُخْتِي . فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " إِنَّ ذَلِكَ لاَ يَحِلُّ " . قَالَتْ أُمُّ حَبِيبَةَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ تَحَدَّثْنَا أَنَّكَ تَنْكِحُ دُرَّةَ بِنْتَ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ . فَقَالَ " بِنْتُ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ " . قَالَتْ أُمُّ حَبِيبَةَ نَعَمْ . قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " فَوَاللَّهِ لَوْ أَنَّهَا لَمْ تَكُنْ رَبِيبَتِي فِي حَجْرِي مَا حَلَّتْ إِنَّهَا لاَبْنَةُ أَخِي مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ أَرْضَعَتْنِي وَأَبَا سَلَمَةَ ثُوَيْبَةُ فَلاَ تَعْرِضْنَ عَلَىَّ بَنَاتِكُنَّ وَلاَ أَخَوَاتِكُنَّ " .
Wahb ibn Bayan reported to us; he said: Ibn Wahb narrated to us; he said: Yunus informed me, from Ibn Shihab, that Urwah ibn al-Zubayr related to him from Zaynab bint Abi Salamah, that Umm Habibah, the Prophet’s wife, said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, marry my father’s daughter’—meaning her sister. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked, ‘Would you like that?’ She 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 Messenger of Allah said, ‘That is not lawful.’ Umm Habibah said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, by Allah, we have heard that you are going to marry Durrah bint Abi Salamah.’ He said, ‘The daughter of Umm Salamah?’ Umm Habibah said, ‘Yes.’ The Messenger of Allah 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
This parallel transmission explicitly glosses ‘my father’s daughter’ as her sister, and repeats the nursing relationship explaining Durrah’s prohibited status.
