5372. Narrated Umm Ḥabība, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ: I said, "O Allāh's Messenger! Will you marry my sister, the daughter of Abū Sufyān." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do you like that?" I said, "Yes, for I am not your only wife, and the person I like most to share the good with me, is my sister." He said, "That is not lawful for me." I said, "O Allāh's Messenger! We have heard that you want to marry Durra, the daughter of Abū Salama." He said, "You mean the daughter of Umm Salama?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Even if she were not my stepdaughter, she is unlawful for me, for she is my foster niece. Thuwaiba suckled me and Abū Salama. So you should not present to me your daughters and sisters." Narrated 'Urwa: Thuwaiba had been a slave-girl whom Abū Lahab had emancipated.

5372 - حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ، أَنَّ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتَ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّ أُمَّ حَبِيبَةَ، زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَتْ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، انْكِحْ أُخْتِي بِنْتَ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، قَالَ: «وَتُحِبِّينَ ذَلِكِ؟» قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، لَسْتُ لَكَ بِمُخْلِيَةٍ، وَأَحَبُّ مَنْ شَارَكَنِي فِي الخَيْرِ أُخْتِي، فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ ذَلِكِ لاَ يَحِلُّ لِي» فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، فَوَاللَّهِ إِنَّا نَتَحَدَّثُ أَنَّكَ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَنْكِحَ دُرَّةَ بِنْتَ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ؟ فَقَالَ: «بِنْتَ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ» فَقُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: «فَوَاللَّهِ لَوْ لَمْ تَكُنْ رَبِيبَتِي فِي حَجْرِي مَا حَلَّتْ لِي، إِنَّهَا بِنْتُ أَخِي مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ، أَرْضَعَتْنِي وَأَبَا سَلَمَةَ ثُوَيْبَةُ فَلاَ تَعْرِضْنَ عَلَيَّ بَنَاتِكُنَّ وَلاَ أَخَوَاتِكُنَّ» وَقَالَ شُعَيْبٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ عُرْوَةُ: «ثُوَيْبَةُ أَعْتَقَهَا أَبُو لَهَبٍ»
