أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَی قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ وَمَالِکٌ عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ قَالَ أَبَی سَائِرُ أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ عَلَيْهِنَّ بِتِلْکَ الرَّضْعَةِ أَحَدٌ مِنْ النَّاسِ يُرِيدُ رَضَاعَةَ الْکَبِيرِ وَقُلْنَ لِعَائِشَةَ وَاللَّهِ مَا نُرَی الَّذِي أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَهْلَةَ بِنْتَ سُهَيْلٍ إِلَّا رُخْصَةً فِي رَضَاعَةِ سَالِمٍ وَحْدَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَاللَّهِ لَا يَدْخُلُ عَلَيْنَا أَحَدٌ بِهَذِهِ الرَّضْعَةِ وَلَا يَرَانَا
سنن نسائی · Hadith 3332
It was narrated that ‘Urwah said: “The rest of the wives of the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم refused for anyone to enter upon them on the basis of that type of breast-feeding, meaning breast-feeding of an adult. They said to ‘Aishah: ‘By Allah, we think that what the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم told Sahlah bint Suhail to do was a concession which was granted by the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم only with regard to breast- feeding Salim. By Allah, no one will enter upon us, nor see us on the basis of this type of breast- feeding.” (Sahih)
