[3586] 15 - (1449) It was narrated that Umm Ḥabībah bint Abî Sufyân said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ entered upon me and I said to him: 'What about my sister, the daughter of Abū Sufyân?' He said: 'What should I do?' I said: 'Marry her.' He said: 'Would you like that?' I said: 'I am not your only wife, and I would like my sister to share with me in this goodness.' He said: 'She is not permissible for me (to marry).' I said: 'I have been told that you proposed marriage to Durrah bint Abî Salamah.' He said: 'The daughter of Umm Salamah?' I said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Even if she was not my stepdaughter under my care, she would not be permissible for me (to marry); her father and I were both breastfed by Thuwaibah. Do not offer your daughters or sisters to me in marriage.”

١٥ - (١٤٤٩) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ. حَدَّثَنَا أبو أسامة. أَخْبَرَنا هِشَامٌ. أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي عَنْ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّ حَبِيبَةَ بِنْتِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ. قَالَتْ: دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: هَلْ لَكَ فِي أُخْتِي بِنْتِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ؟ فقَالَ "أَفْعَلُ مَاذَا؟ " قُلْتُ: تَنْكِحُهَا. قَالَ "أَوَ تُحِبِّينَ ذَلِكِ؟ " قُلْتُ: لَسْتُ لَكَ بِمُخْلِيَةٍ. وَأَحَبُّ مَنْ شَرِكَنِي فِي الْخَيْرِ أُخْتِي. قَالَ "فَإِنَّهَا لَا تَحِلُّ لِي" قُلْتُ: فَإِنِّي أُخْبِرْتُ أَنَّكَ تَخْطُبُ دُرَّةَ بِنْتَ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ. قَالَ "بِنْتَ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ؟ " قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ. قَالَ "لَوْ أَنَّهَا لَمْ تَكُنْ رَبِيبَتِي فِي حِجْرِي، مَا حَلَّتْ لِي. إِنَّهَا ابْنَةُ أَخِي مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ. أَرْضَعَتْنِي وَأَبَاهَا ثُوَيْبَةُ. فلا تعرضن علي بناتكن ولا أخواتكن".
