[3603] 29 - (...) It was narrated that Zainab bint Umm Salamah said: Umm Salamah said to 'Aishah: 'There enters upon you a slave boy who is close to puberty, and I would not like him to enter upon me. 'Aishah said: Do you not have a good example in the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ? She said: The wife of Abū Ḥudhaifah said: "O Messenger of Allāh, Sālim enters upon me and he is a man, and there is some (discomfort) in the heart of Abū Ḥudhaifah about that." The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Breastfeed him so that he may enter upon you."

٢٩ - (١٤٥٣) وحدثنا محمد بن المثنى. حدثنا محمد بن جَعْفَرٍ. حدثنا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ. قَالَت: قَالَت أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ لِعَائِشَةَ: إِنَّهُ يَدْخُلُ عَلَيْكِ الْغُلَامُ الْأَيْفَعُ الَّذِي مَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ عَلَيَّ. قَالَ: فقَالَت عَائِشَةُ: أَمَا لَكَ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُسْوَةٌ؟ قَالَت: إِنَّ امْرَأَةَ أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ قَالَت: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! إِنَّ سَالِمًا يَدْخُلُ عَلَيَّ وَهُوَ رَجُلٌ. وَفِي نَفْسِ أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ. فقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " أَرْضِعِيهِ حتى يدخل عليك".
