حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَنَّ عُرْوَةَ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ زَيْنَبَ ابْنَةَ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّ أُمَّ حَبِيبَةَ قَالَتْ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ انْكِحْ أُخْتِي بِنْتَ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ وَتُحِبِّينَ ‏"‏‏.‏ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ، لَسْتُ بِمُخْلِيَةٍ، وَأَحَبُّ مَنْ شَارَكَنِي فِي خَيْرٍ أُخْتِي‏.‏ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ إِنَّ ذَلِكَ لاَ يَحِلُّ لِي ‏"‏‏.‏ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَوَاللَّهِ إِنَّا لَنَتَحَدَّثُ أَنَّكَ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَنْكِحَ دُرَّةَ بِنْتَ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ بِنْتَ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ فَوَاللَّهِ لَوْ لَمْ تَكُنْ فِي حَجْرِي مَا حَلَّتْ لِي إِنَّهَا لاَبْنَةُ أَخِي مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ، أَرْضَعَتْنِي وَأَبَا سَلَمَةَ ثُوَيْبَةُ فَلاَ تَعْرِضْنَ عَلَىَّ بَنَاتِكُنَّ وَلاَ أَخَوَاتِكُنَّ ‏"‏‏.‏

Narrated Um Habiba:I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Marry my sister, the daughter of Abu Sufyan." He said, "Do you like that?" I said, "Yes, for even now I am not your only wife; and the most beloved person to share the good with me is my sister." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "But that is not lawful for me (i.e., to be married to two sisters at a time.)" I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! By Allah, we have heard that you want to marry Durra, the daughter of Abu Salama." He said, "You mean the daughter of Um Salama?" I said, "Yes." He said, "By Allah ! Even if she were not my stepdaughter, she would not be lawful for me to marry, for she is my foster niece, for Thuwaiba has suckled me and Abu Salama; so you should neither present your daughters, nor your sisters to me

Umm Habiba bataati hain: Maine kaha, 'Aye Allah ke Rasool! Meri behen, Abu Sufyan ki beti, se nikaah kar lijiye.' Unhone pucha, 'Kya tumhein ye pasand hai?' Maine kaha, 'Haan, kyunke abhi bhi main aapki akeli biwi nahi hoon, aur mujhe sabse zyaada pyaari cheez ye hai ke meri behen mere saath bhalaai mein shareek ho.' Nabi (SAW) ne farmaya, 'Magar ye mere liye jaayez nahi (yaani ek waqt mein do behno se nikaah).' Maine kaha, 'Aye Allah ke Rasool! Allah ki qasam, humein pata chala hai ke aap Durra, Abu Salama ki beti, se nikaah karna chahte hain.' Unhone pucha, '(Kya tumhaara matlab hai) Umm Salama ki beti?' Maine kaha, 'Haan.' Unhone farmaya, 'Allah ki qasam! Agar wo meri saudari beti bhi na hoti, to bhi wo mere liye jaayez na hoti, kyunke wo meri doodh-rishte ki bhatiji hai, kyunke Thuwaiba ne mujhe aur Abu Salama ko doodh pilaaya tha; isliye tumhein apni betiyaan ya behnein mere saamne pesh nahi karni chaahiye.'
