1943. It was narrated that 'Āishah said: "Sahlah bint Suhail came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, I see signs of displeasure on the face of Abu Hudhaifah when Sālim enters upon me.'" The Prophet ﷺ said: "Breastfeed him." She said: "How can I breastfeed him when he is a grown man?" The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ smiled and said: "I know that he is a grown man." So she did that, then she came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: "I have never seen any signs of displeasure on the face of Abu Hudhayfah after that." And he was present at (the battle of) Badr.[1] (Sahih)
