Sunan an-Nasa'i 3287

Hannad ibn al-Sari reported to us, from Abdah, from Hisham, from his father, from Zaynab bint Abi Salamah, from Umm Habibah, who said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, would you consider marrying my sister?’ He said, ‘And what would I do?’ She said, ‘Marry her.’ He asked, ‘Would that please you?’ 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.’ He said, ‘She is not lawful for me.’ She said, ‘I have heard that you are proposing to Durrah bint Umm Salamah.’ He said, ‘The daughter of Abu Salamah?’ She said, ‘Yes.’ He said, ‘By Allah, if she were not my stepdaughter, she would not be lawful for me. She is the daughter of my brother through nursing. So do not offer me your daughters or your sisters.’
