أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا إِسْمَعِيلُ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْکَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ بْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ قَالَ وَقَدْ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ عُقْبَةَ وَلَکِنِّي لِحَدِيثِ عُبَيْدٍ أَحْفَظُ قَالَ تَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً فَجَائَتْنَا امْرَأَةٌ سَوْدَائُ فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي قَدْ أَرْضَعْتُکُمَا فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ إِنِّي تَزَوَّجْتُ فُلَانَةَ بِنْتَ فُلَانٍ فَجَائَتْنِي امْرَأَةٌ سَوْدَائُ فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي قَدْ أَرْضَعْتُکُمَا فَأَعْرَضَ عَنِّي فَأَتَيْتُهُ مِنْ قِبَلِ وَجْهِهِ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّهَا کَاذِبَةٌ قَالَ وَکَيْفَ بِهَا وَقَدْ زَعَمَتْ أَنَّهَا قَدْ أَرْضَعَتْکُمَا دَعْهَا عَنْکَ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 3338
It was narrated that ‘Uqbah bin Al-Harith said: I married a woman, then a black woman came to us and said: I breast-fed you both. I went to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم and said: I married so and so and a black woman came to me and said: I breast-fed you both. He turned away from me so I came to him from the other side and said: She is lying. He said: “How can you be intimate with your wife when she says that she breast-fed you both? Leave her (divorce her).” (Sahih)
