أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ سَمِعْنَاهُ مِنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ الْقَاسِمِ - عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ جَاءَتْ سَهْلَةُ بِنْتُ سُهَيْلٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي أَرَى فِي وَجْهِ أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ مِنْ دُخُولِ سَالِمٍ عَلَىَّ . قَالَ " فَأَرْضِعِيهِ " . قَالَتْ وَكَيْفَ أُرْضِعُهُ وَهُوَ رَجُلٌ كَبِيرٌ فَقَالَ " أَلَسْتُ أَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ رَجُلٌ كَبِيرٌ " . ثُمَّ جَاءَتْ بَعْدُ فَقَالَتْ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ نَبِيًّا مَا رَأَيْتُ فِي وَجْهِ أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ بَعْدُ شَيْئًا أَكْرَهُ .
Abd Allah ibn Muhammad ibn Abd al-Rahman reported to us; he said: Sufyan narrated to us; he said: We heard it from Abd al-Rahman—namely, Ibn al-Qasim—from his father, from A'ishah, who said: Sahlah bint Suhayl came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said, ‘I see distress on Abu Hudhayfah’s face because Salim comes in to see me.’ He said: ‘Nurse him.’ She said, ‘How can I nurse him when he is a grown man?’ He said, ‘Do I not know that he is a grown man?’ She later came and said, ‘By the One who sent you as a Prophet in truth, I have not seen anything displeasing on Abu Hudhayfah’s face since.’
Translation notes
This version includes Sahlah’s objection that Salim was an adult and the Prophet’s rhetorical reply, then her later report that Abu Hudhayfah no longer showed displeasure.
