[3565] 141 - (...) It was narrated from 'Āishah that Judâmah bint Wahb, the sister of 'Ukâshah, said: "I came to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ along with some other people and he was saying: 'I was thinking of forbidding intercourse with a breastfeeding woman, then I looked at the Romans and Persians; they have intercourse with their wives during the breastfeeding period and their children are not harmed by that at all.' Then they asked him about 'Azl and the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'It is a hidden form of burying alive.'" Ubaidullâh added in his Hadîth from Al-Muqri': This is a reference to (the verse): "And when the female (infant) buried alive is questioned."[1] [1] At-Takwîr 81:6.

141 - (1442) حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا الْمُقْرِئُ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الْأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، عَنْ جُدَامَةَ بِنْتِ وَهْبٍ، أُخْتِ عُكَّاشَةَ، قَالَتْ: حَضَرْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فِي أُنَاسٍ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: «لَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ أَنْهَى عَنِ الْغِيلَةِ، فَنَظَرْتُ فِي الرُّومِ وَفَارِسَ، فَإِذَا هُمْ يُغِيلُونَ أَوْلَادَهُمْ، فَلَا يَضُرُّ أَوْلَادَهُمْ ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا»، ثُمَّ سَأَلُوهُ عَنِ الْعَزْلِ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «ذَلِكَ الْوَأْدُ الْخَفِيُّ»، زَادَ عُبَيْدُ اللهِ فِي حَدِيثِهِ: عَنِ الْمُقْرِئِ، وَهِيَ: {وَإِذَا الْمَوْءُودَةُ سُئِلَتْ}،
