حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا حَاتِمُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ حَجَّاجِ بْنِ حَجَّاجٍ الأَسْلَمِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا يُذْهِبُ عَنِّي مَذَمَّةَ الرَّضَاعِ فَقَالَ " غُرَّةٌ عَبْدٌ أَوْ أَمَةٌ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ . وَمَعْنَى قَوْلِهِ مَا يُذْهِبُ عَنِّي مَذَمَّةَ الرَّضَاعِ . يَقُولُ إِنَّمَا يَعْنِي بِهِ ذِمَامَ الرَّضَاعَةِ وَحَقَّهَا يَقُولُ إِذَا أَعْطَيْتَ الْمُرْضِعَةَ عَبْدًا أَوْ أَمَةً فَقَدْ قَضَيْتَ ذِمَامَهَا . وَيُرْوَى عَنْ أَبِي الطُّفَيْلِ قَالَ كُنْتُ جَالِسًا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذْ أَقْبَلَتِ امْرَأَةٌ فَبَسَطَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم رِدَاءَهُ حَتَّى قَعَدَتْ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا ذَهَبَتْ قِيلَ هِيَ كَانَتْ أَرْضَعَتِ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم . هَكَذَا رَوَاهُ يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْقَطَّانُ وَحَاتِمُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ وَغَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَجَّاجِ بْنِ حَجَّاجٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم . وَرَوَى سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَجَّاجِ بْنِ أَبِي حَجَّاجٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم . وَحَدِيثُ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ غَيْرُ مَحْفُوظٍ وَالصَّحِيحُ مَا رَوَى هَؤُلاَءِ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ . وَهِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ يُكْنَى أَبَا الْمُنْذِرِ وَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَابْنَ عُمَرَ .

Qutaybah narrated to us: Hatim ibn Isma'il narrated to us, from Hisham ibn Urwah, from his father, from Hajjaj ibn Hajjaj al-Aslami, from his father, who asked the Prophet: O Messenger of Allah, what will discharge the obligation I owe for breastfeeding? He said: A male or female slave. Abu Isa said: This hadith is hasan sahih. The phrase “what will discharge my obligation for breastfeeding” means the due and right owed for nursing. If you give the nursing woman a male or female slave, you have discharged what you owe her. Abu al-Tufayl reported: I was sitting with the Prophet when a woman approached. The Prophet spread his cloak for her to sit on. When she left, someone said: She was the woman who had breastfed the Prophet. Yahya ibn Sa'id al-Qattan, Hatim ibn Isma'il, and more than one other narrator reported this from Hisham ibn Urwah, from his father, from Hajjaj ibn Hajjaj, from his father, from the Prophet. Sufyan ibn Uyaynah reported it from Hisham ibn Urwah, from his father, from Hajjaj ibn Abi Hajjaj, from his father, from the Prophet. Ibn Uyaynah's version is not preserved; the sound version is the one these narrators reported from Hisham ibn Urwah, from his father. Hisham ibn Urwah was known by the kunyah Abu al-Mundhir and met Jabir ibn Abd Allah and Ibn Umar.
