Hadith text

Narrated Um Habiba:(daughter of Abu Sufyan) I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Marry my sister. the daughter of Abu Sufyan." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Do you like that?" I replied, "Yes, for even now I am not your only wife and I like that my sister should share the good with me." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "But that is not lawful for me." I said, We have heard that you want to marry the daughter of Abu Salama." He said, "(You mean) the daughter of Um Salama?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Even if she were not my step-daughter, she would be unlawful for me to marry as she is my foster niece. I and Abu Salama were suckled by Thuwaiba. So you should not present to me your daughters or your sisters (in marriage)." Narrated 'Urwa: Thuwaiba was the freed slave girl of Abu Lahb whom he had manumitted, and then she suckled the Prophet. When Abu Lahb died, one of his relatives saw him in a dream in a very bad state and asked him, "What have you encountered?" Abu Lahb said, "I have not found any rest since I left you, except that I have been given water to drink in this (the space between his thumb and other fingers) and that is because of my manumitting Thuwaiba

Umm Habiba (Abu Sufyan ki beti) bataati hain: Maine kaha, 'Aye Allah ke Rasool! Meri behen, Abu Sufyan ki beti, se nikaah kar lijiye.' Nabi (SAW) ne pucha, 'Kya tumhein ye pasand hai?' Maine jawab diya, 'Haan, kyunke abhi bhi main aapki akeli biwi nahi hoon, aur mujhe pasand hai ke meri behen bhi mere saath is bhalaai mein shareek ho.' Nabi (SAW) ne farmaya, 'Magar ye mere liye jaayez nahi.' Maine kaha, 'Humein pata chala hai ke aap Abu Salama ki beti se nikaah karna chahte hain.' Unhone pucha, '(Kya tumhaara matlab hai) Umm Salama ki beti?' Maine kaha, 'Haan.' Unhone farmaya, 'Agar wo meri saudari beti bhi na hoti, to bhi wo mere liye haraam hai, kyunke wo meri doodh-rishte ki bhatiji hai. Mujhe aur Abu Salama ko Thuwaiba ne doodh pilaaya tha. Isliye tumhein apni betiyaan ya behnein mere saamne pesh nahi karni chaahiye.' Ravi Urwa bataate hain: Thuwaiba, Abu Lahab ki azaad ki hui launDi thi, jise unhone azaad kiya tha, aur usne Nabi (SAW) ko doodh pilaaya tha. Jab Abu Lahab ka intekaal hua, uske ek rishtedaar ne use khwaab mein bahut buri haalat mein dekha aur pucha, 'Tumhein kya mila?' Abu Lahab ne kaha, 'Tumse juda hone ke baad mujhe koi araam nahi mila, siwaaye is ke ke mujhe (apne angoothe aur ungliyon ke beech) ek ghoont paani diya jaata hai, aur ye Thuwaiba ko azaad karne ki wajah se hai.'
