Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَوَاءٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أُرِيدَ عَلَى بِنْتِ حَمْزَةَ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّهَا ابْنَةُ أَخِي مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ وَإِنَّهُ يَحْرُمُ مِنَ الرَّضَاعِ مَا يَحْرُمُ مِنَ النَّسَبِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Abd Allah ibn al-Sabbah ibn Abd Allah reported to us; he said: Muhammad ibn Sawa' narrated to us; he said: Sa'id narrated to us, from Qatadah, from Jabir ibn Zayd, from Ibn Abbas, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was asked to marry Hamzah’s daughter. He said: ‘She is the daughter of my brother through nursing, and what is forbidden through nursing is forbidden through lineage.’

Translation notes
  • The wording ‘urida ala’ indicates that Hamzah’s daughter was proposed to him; the reason given is milk kinship.
