5104. Narrated 'Uqba bin Al-Hārith: I married a woman and then a black lady came to us and said, "I have suckled you both (you and your wife)." So I came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "I married so-and-so and then a black lady came to us and said to me, 'I have suckled both of you.' But I think she is a liar." The Prophet ﷺ turned his face away from me and I moved to face his face, and said, "She is a liar." The Prophet ﷺ said, "How (can you keep her as your wife) when that lady has said that she has suckled both of you? So abandon (i.e., divorce) her (your wife)."

5104 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ بْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ الحَارِثِ، - قالَ: وَقَدْ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ عُقْبَةَ لَكِنِّي لِحَدِيثِ عُبَيْدٍ أَحْفَظُ - قَالَ: تَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً، فَجَاءَتْنَا امْرَأَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ، فَقَالَتْ: أَرْضَعْتُكُمَا، فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقُلْتُ: تَزَوَّجْتُ فُلاَنَةَ بِنْتَ فُلاَنٍ، فَجَاءَتْنَا امْرَأَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ، فَقَالَتْ لِي: إِنِّي قَدْ أَرْضَعْتُكُمَا، وَهِيَ كَاذِبَةٌ، فَأَعْرَضَ عَنِّي، فَأَتَيْتُهُ مِنْ قِبَلِ وَجْهِهِ، قُلْتُ: إِنَّهَا كَاذِبَةٌ، قَالَ: «كَيْفَ بِهَا وَقَدْ زَعَمَتْ أَنَّهَا قَدْ أَرْضَعَتْكُمَا، دَعْهَا عَنْكَ» وَأَشَارَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بِإِصْبَعَيْهِ السَّبَّابَةِ وَالوُسْطَى، يَحْكِي أَيُّوبَ
