أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ سَالِمًا، مَوْلَى أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ كَانَ مَعَ أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ وَأَهْلِهِ فِي بَيْتِهِمْ فَأَتَتْ بِنْتُ سُهَيْلٍ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَتْ إِنَّ سَالِمًا قَدْ بَلَغَ مَا يَبْلُغُ الرِّجَالُ وَعَقَلَ مَا عَقَلُوهُ وَإِنَّهُ يَدْخُلُ عَلَيْنَا وَإِنِّي أَظُنُّ فِي نَفْسِ أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا . فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " أَرْضِعِيهِ تَحْرُمِي عَلَيْهِ " . فَأَرْضَعْتُهُ فَذَهَبَ الَّذِي فِي نَفْسِ أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ إِنِّي قَدْ أَرْضَعْتُهُ فَذَهَبَ الَّذِي فِي نَفْسِ أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ .
Amr ibn Ali reported to us, from Abd al-Wahhab, who said: Ayyub informed us, from Ibn Abi Mulaykah, from al-Qasim, from A'ishah: Salim, the freedman of Abu Hudhayfah, lived with Abu Hudhayfah and his family in their home. Suhayl’s daughter came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said, ‘Salim has reached the age men reach and has the understanding they have. He comes in to see us, and I think Abu Hudhayfah feels some discomfort about it.’ The Prophet said: ‘Nurse him; you will become unlawful to him.’ I nursed him, and what Abu Hudhayfah felt went away. I returned to him and said, ‘I have nursed him,’ and what Abu Hudhayfah felt had gone away.
Translation notes
The report identifies Salim as Abu Hudhayfah’s freedman, records that he lived with the family, and says nursing removed Abu Hudhayfah’s discomfort.
