أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، وَمَالِكٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، قَالَ أَبَى سَائِرُ أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنْ يَدْخُلَ عَلَيْهِنَّ بِتِلْكَ الرَّضْعَةِ أَحَدٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ - يُرِيدُ رَضَاعَةَ الْكَبِيرِ - وَقُلْنَ لِعَائِشَةَ وَاللَّهِ مَا نُرَى الَّذِي أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم سَهْلَةَ بِنْتَ سُهَيْلٍ إِلاَّ رُخْصَةً فِي رَضَاعَةِ سَالِمٍ وَحْدَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَاللَّهِ لاَ يَدْخُلُ عَلَيْنَا أَحَدٌ بِهَذِهِ الرَّضْعَةِ وَلاَ يَرَانَا .
Yunus ibn Abd al-A'la reported to us; he said: Ibn Wahb informed us; he said: Yunus and Malik informed me, from Ibn Shihab, from Urwah, who said: The rest of the Prophet’s wives refused to allow anyone to enter upon them on the basis of that nursing—meaning the nursing of an adult. They said to A'ishah, ‘By Allah, we think the Messenger of Allah’s instruction to Sahlah bint Suhayl was only a concession from the Messenger of Allah for Salim alone. By Allah, no one will enter upon us through this nursing, nor see us.’
Translation notes
The report explicitly labels the issue as nursing an adult and attributes the other wives’ view to them, preserving their interpretation as a concession specifically for Salim.
