[3588] 16 - (...) Umm Ḥabībah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, narrated that she said to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ: “O Messenger of Allāh, marry my sister ‘Azzah.” The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “Would you like that?” She said: “Yes, O Messenger of Allāh. I am not your only wife, and I would like my sister to share with me in the goodness.” The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “That is not permissible for me.” I said: “O Messenger of Allāh, we have been told that you want to marry Durrah bint Abî Salamah.” He said: “The daughter of Abû Salamah?” She said: “Yes.” The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “Even if she were not my stepdaughter under my care, she would not be permissible for me (to marry), for she is the daughter of my brother through breastfeeding. Her father Abû Salamah and I were both breastfed by Thuwaibah. Do not offer your daughters or sisters to me in marriage.”

16 - (1449) وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحِ بْنِ الْمُهَاجِرِ، أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، أَنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ شِهَابٍ، كَتَبَ يَذْكُرُ، أَنَّ عُرْوَةَ، حَدَّثَهُ، أَنَّ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتَ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، حَدَّثَتْهُ، أَنَّ أُمَّ حَبِيبَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَدَّثَتْهَا، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، انْكِحْ أُخْتِي عَزَّةَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَتُحِبِّينَ ذَلِكِ؟» فَقَالَتْ: نَعَمْ، يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، لَسْتُ لَكَ بِمُخْلِيَةٍ، وَأَحَبُّ مَنْ شَرِكَنِي فِي خَيْرٍ أُخْتِي، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «فَإِنَّ ذَلِكِ لَا يَحِلُّ لِي»، قَالَتْ: فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَإِنَّا نَتَحَدَّثُ أَنَّكَ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَنْكِحَ دُرَّةَ بِنْتَ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، قَالَ: «بِنْتَ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ؟» قَالَتْ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَوْ أَنَّهَا لَمْ تَكُنْ رَبِيبَتِي فِي حِجْرِي مَا حَلَّتْ لِي، إِنَّهَا ابْنَةُ أَخِي مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ، أَرْضَعَتْنِي وَأَبَا سَلَمَةَ ثُوَيْبَةُ فَلَا تَعْرِضْنَ عَلَيَّ بَنَاتِكُنَّ وَلَا أَخَوَاتِكُنَّ»،
