Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ شُعَيْبِ بْنِ اللَّيْثِ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ جَدِّي، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عُقَيْلٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زَمْعَةَ، أَنَّ أُمَّهُ، زَيْنَبَ بِنْتَ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّ أُمَّهَا أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَتْ تَقُولُ أَبَى سَائِرُ أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنْ يُدْخَلَ عَلَيْهِنَّ بِتِلْكَ الرَّضَاعَةِ وَقُلْنَ لِعَائِشَةَ وَاللَّهِ مَا نُرَى هَذِهِ إِلاَّ رُخْصَةً رَخَّصَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم خَاصَّةً لِسَالِمٍ فَلاَ يَدْخُلْ عَلَيْنَا أَحَدٌ بِهَذِهِ الرَّضَاعَةِ وَلاَ يَرَانَا ‏.‏

Translation

Abd al-Malik ibn Shu'ayb ibn al-Layth reported to us; he said: My father informed me, from my grandfather, who said: Uqayl narrated to me, from Ibn Shihab, who said: Abu Ubaydah ibn Abd Allah ibn Zam'ah informed me that his mother, Zaynab bint Abi Salamah, told him that her mother, Umm Salamah, the Prophet’s wife, used to say: The rest of the Prophet’s wives refused to allow anyone to enter upon them through that nursing. They said to A'ishah, ‘By Allah, we regard this only as a concession that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) granted specifically to Salim. So no one will enter upon us through this nursing, nor see us.’

Translation notes
  • This parallel report transmits the other wives’ position through Umm Salamah and characterizes the nursing concession as specific to Salim.
