English translation

2640. Narrated 'Abdullāh bin Abū Mulaika from 'Uqba bin Al-Ḥārith: 'Uqba married the daughter of Abū Ihāb bin 'Aziz, and then a woman came and said, "I suckled 'Uqba and his wife." 'Uqba said to her, "I do not know that you have suckled me, and you did not inform me." He then sent someone to the house of Abū Ihāb to enquire about that but they did not know that she had suckled their daughter. Then 'Uqba went to the Prophet ﷺ in Al-Madīna and asked him about it. The Prophet ﷺ said to him, "How (can you keep your wife) after it has been said (that both of you were suckled by the same woman)?" So, he divorced her and she was married to another man.

2640 - حَدَّثَنَا حِبَّانُ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي حُسَيْنٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ الحَارِثِ، أَنَّهُ تَزَوَّجَ ابْنَةً لِأَبِي إِهَابِ بْنِ عُزَيْزٍ، فَأَتَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ فَقَالَتْ: قَدْ أَرْضَعْتُ عُقْبَةَ، وَالَّتِي تَزَوَّجَ، فَقَالَ لَهَا عُقْبَةُ: مَا أَعْلَمُ أَنَّكِ أَرْضَعْتِنِي، وَلاَ أَخْبَرْتِنِي، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى آلِ أَبِي إِهَابٍ يَسْأَلُهُمْ، فَقَالُوا: مَا عَلِمْنَا أَرْضَعَتْ صَاحِبَتَنَا، فَرَكِبَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ، فَسَأَلَهُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «كَيْفَ وَقَدْ قِيلَ»، فَفَارَقَهَا وَنَكَحَتْ زَوْجًا غَيْرَهُ
