أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ الْوَزِيرِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي سُلَيْمَانُ، عَنْ يَحْيَى، وَرَبِيعَةَ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ أَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم امْرَأَةَ أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ أَنْ تُرْضِعَ سَالِمًا مَوْلَى أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ حَتَّى تَذْهَبَ غَيْرَةُ أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ فَأَرْضَعَتْهُ وَهُوَ رَجُلٌ ‏.‏ قَالَ رَبِيعَةُ فَكَانَتْ رُخْصَةً لِسَالِمٍ ‏.‏

Translation

Ahmad ibn Yahya ibn al-Wazir reported to us; he said: I heard Ibn Wahb say: Sulayman informed me, from Yahya and Rabi'ah, from al-Qasim, from A'ishah, who said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) instructed Abu Hudhayfah’s wife to nurse Salim, the freedman of Abu Hudhayfah, so that Abu Hudhayfah’s jealousy would subside. She nursed him while he was a man. Rabi'ah said: ‘It was a concession for Salim.’

Translation notes

  • The final statement is Rabi'ah’s characterization of the case as a concession specific to Salim.
