أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي مَخْرَمَةُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ حُمَيْدَ بْنَ نَافِعٍ، يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتَ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، تَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ عَائِشَةَ، زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم تَقُولُ جَاءَتْ سَهْلَةُ بِنْتُ سُهَيْلٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي لأَرَى فِي وَجْهِ أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ مِنْ دُخُولِ سَالِمٍ عَلَىَّ . قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " أَرْضِعِيهِ " . قُلْتُ إِنَّهُ لَذُو لِحْيَةٍ . فَقَالَ " أَرْضِعِيهِ يَذْهَبْ مَا فِي وَجْهِ أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ " . قَالَتْ وَاللَّهِ مَا عَرَفْتُهُ فِي وَجْهِ أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ بَعْدُ .
Yunus ibn Abd al-A'la reported to us; he said: Ibn Wahb narrated to us; he said: Makhramah ibn Bukayr informed me, from his father, who said: I heard Humayd ibn Nafi say: I heard Zaynab bint Abi Salamah say: I heard A'ishah, the Prophet’s wife, say: Sahlah bint Suhayl came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, I see distress on Abu Hudhayfah’s face because Salim comes in to see me.’ The Messenger of Allah said: ‘Nurse him.’ I said, ‘He is a grown man with a beard.’ He said: ‘Nurse him, and that will remove what is on Abu Hudhayfah’s face.’ She said: ‘By Allah, after that I never saw anything on Abu Hudhayfah’s face.’
Translation notes
The report preserves the dialogue’s unusual instruction and the statement that Salim was bearded; the final phrase refers to the expression of distress on Abu Hudhayfah’s face.
