[3600] 26 - (1453) 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 Abū Hudhaifah when Sālim - who was his ally[1] - comes in. The Prophet ﷺ said: 'Breastfeed him.' She said: 'How can I breastfeed him? He is a grown man.' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ smiled and said: 'I know that he is a grown man.'" 'Amr added in his Hadīth: "He was one of those who had been present at Badr." In the report of Ibn Abī 'Umar: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ laughed."

26 - (1453) حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ، وَابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: جَاءَتْ سَهْلَةُ بِنْتُ سُهَيْلٍ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنِّي أَرَى فِي وَجْهِ أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ مِنْ دُخُولِ سَالِمٍ وَهُوَ حَلِيفُهُ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَرْضِعِيهِ»، قَالَتْ: وَكَيْفَ أُرْضِعُهُ؟ وَهُوَ رَجُلٌ كَبِيرٌ، فَتَبَسَّمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَالَ: «قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّهُ رَجُلٌ كَبِيرٌ»، زَادَ عَمْرٌو فِي حَدِيثِهِ: وَكَانَ قَدْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا، وَفِي رِوَايَةِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَرَ: فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
