أَخْبَرَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ حَبِيبٍ - عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ جَاءَتْ سَهْلَةُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ سَالِمًا يَدْخُلُ عَلَيْنَا وَقَدْ عَقَلَ مَا يَعْقِلُ الرِّجَالُ وَعَلِمَ مَا يَعْلَمُ الرِّجَالُ . قَالَ " أَرْضِعِيهِ تَحْرُمِي عَلَيْهِ بِذَلِكَ " . فَمَكَثْتُ حَوْلاً لاَ أُحَدِّثُ بِهِ وَلَقِيتُ الْقَاسِمَ فَقَالَ حَدِّثْ بِهِ وَلاَ تَهَابُهُ .
Humayd ibn Mas'adah reported to us, from Sufyan—namely, Ibn Habib—from Ibn Jurayj, from Ibn Abi Mulaykah, from al-Qasim ibn Muhammad, from A'ishah, who said: Sahlah came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, Salim comes in to see us, and he has reached maturity and knows what men know.’ He said: ‘Nurse him; by doing so, you will become unlawful to him.’ I refrained from speaking about it for a year. Then I met al-Qasim, and he said, ‘Speak about it, and do not be apprehensive.’
Translation notes
The wording describes Salim as having reached maturity; the closing statement says the narrator refrained from relating the report for a year before al-Qasim encouraged her to report it.
