أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ بْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، قَالَ وَقَدْ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ، عُقْبَةَ وَلَكِنِّي لِحَدِيثِ عُبَيْدٍ أَحْفَظُ قَالَ تَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً فَجَاءَتْنَا امْرَأَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي قَدْ أَرْضَعْتُكُمَا . فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ إِنِّي تَزَوَّجْتُ فُلاَنَةَ بِنْتَ فُلاَنٍ فَجَاءَتْنِي امْرَأَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي قَدْ أَرْضَعْتُكُمَا . فَأَعْرَضَ عَنِّي فَأَتَيْتُهُ مِنْ قِبَلِ وَجْهِهِ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّهَا كَاذِبَةٌ . قَالَ " وَكَيْفَ بِهَا وَقَدْ زَعَمَتْ أَنَّهَا قَدْ أَرْضَعَتْكُمَا دَعْهَا عَنْكَ " .
Ali ibn Hujr reported to us; he said: Isma'il informed us, from Ayyub, from Ibn Abi Mulaykah, who said: Ubayd ibn Abi Maryam related to me from Uqbah ibn al-Harith. I have also heard it from Uqbah, but I remember Ubayd’s report better. He said: ‘I married a woman, and a Black woman came to us and said, “I nursed you both.” I went to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), told him, and said, “I married so-and-so, daughter of so-and-so, and a Black woman came to me saying she had nursed us both.” He turned away from me. I came to him from the front and said, “She is lying.” He said, “How can you say that, when she has claimed that she nursed you both? Leave her.”’
Translation notes
The narrator states that he had heard the report from Uqbah but retained Ubayd’s version more accurately. The woman’s nursing claim and the Prophet’s response are rendered directly.
