أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا أَيُّوبُ عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْکَةَ عَنْ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ سَالِمًا مَوْلَی أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ کَانَ مَعَ أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ وَأَهْلِهِ فِي بَيْتِهِمْ فَأَتَتْ بِنْتُ سُهَيْلٍ إِلَی النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَتْ إِنَّ سَالِمًا قَدْ بَلَغَ مَا يَبْلُغُ الرِّجَالُ وَعَقَلَ مَا عَقَلُوهُ وَإِنَّهُ يَدْخُلُ عَلَيْنَا وَإِنِّي أَظُنُّ فِي نَفْسِ أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ مِنْ ذَلِکَ شَيْئًا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَرْضِعِيهِ تَحْرُمِي عَلَيْهِ فَأَرْضَعْتُهُ فَذَهَبَ الَّذِي فِي نَفْسِ أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ إِنِّي قَدْ أَرْضَعْتُهُ فَذَهَبَ الَّذِي فِي نَفْسِ أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 3331
It was narrated from ‘Aishah that Salim, the freed slave of Abu Hudhaifah was with Abu Iludhaifah and his family in their house. The daughter of Suhail came to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم and said: “Salim has reached the age of manhood, and understands what men understand. He enters upon us, and I think that Abu Hudhaifah is not happy about that.” The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: “Breast-feed him, and you will become unlawful to him.” So she breast-fed him, and the displeasure of Abu Hudhaifah disappeared. She came back to him and said: “I breast-fed him and the displeasure of Abu Iludhaifah has disappeared.” (Sahih).
