أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ وَإِسْحَقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ مَالِکٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَسْوَدِ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ جُدَامَةَ بِنْتَ وَهْبٍ حَدَّثَتْهَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ أَنْهَی عَنْ الْغِيلَةِ حَتَّی ذَکَرْتُ أَنَّ فَارِسَ وَالرُّومَ يَصْنَعُهُ وَقَالَ إِسْحَقُ يَصْنَعُونَهُ فَلَا يَضُرُّ أَوْلَادَهُمْ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 3334
It was narrated from ‘Aishah that Judamah bint Wahb told her that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: “I was thinking of forbidding GhIlah until I remembered that it is done by the Persians and Romans” — (one of the narrators) ishaq said: “(They) do that — and it does not harm their children.” (Sahih)
