Sunan an-Nasa'i 3326
أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ، وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ جُدَامَةَ بِنْتَ وَهْبٍ، حَدَّثَتْهَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " لَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ أَنْهَى عَنِ الْغِيلَةِ حَتَّى ذَكَرْتُ أَنَّ فَارِسَ وَالرُّومَ يَصْنَعُهُ " . وَقَالَ إِسْحَاقُ " يَصْنَعُونَهُ فَلاَ يَضُرُّ أَوْلاَدَهُمْ " .
Ubayd Allah and Ishaq ibn Mansur reported to us, from Abd al-Rahman, from Malik, from Abu al-Aswad, from Urwah, from A'ishah: Judhamah bint Wahb related to her that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: ‘I had considered prohibiting al-ghilah, until I remembered that the Persians and Romans practice it.’ Ishaq added: ‘They practice it, and it does not harm their children.’
Translation notes
Al-ghilah is retained as a technical term in the report; here it refers to marital intercourse during a child’s nursing period. Ishaq’s explanatory addition about harm to children is distinguished from the main wording.
