أَخْبَرَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيِّ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، رضى الله عنه قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا لَكَ تَنَوَّقُ فِي قُرَيْشٍ وَتَدَعُنَا قَالَ ‏"‏ وَعِنْدَكَ أَحَدٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ بِنْتُ حَمْزَةَ ‏.‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ إِنَّهَا لاَ تَحِلُّ لِي إِنَّهَا ابْنَةُ أَخِي مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Hannad ibn al-Sari reported to us, from Abu Mu'awiyah, from al-A'mash, from Sa'd ibn Ubaydah, from Abu Abd al-Rahman al-Sulami, from Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: I said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, why do you carefully select among Quraysh while leaving us?’ He asked, ‘Do you have anyone in mind?’ I said, ‘Yes, the daughter of Hamzah.’ The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: ‘She is not lawful for me; she is the daughter of my brother through nursing.’

Translation notes

  • The exchange concerns Ali’s suggestion of Hamzah’s daughter; the Prophet gives milk kinship as the reason she is not lawful to him.
