حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ جَائَتْ سَهْلَةُ بِنْتُ سُهَيْلٍ إِلَی النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أَرَی فِي وَجْهِ أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ الْکَرَاهِيَةَ مِنْ دُخُولِ سَالِمٍ عَلَيَّ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَرْضِعِيهِ قَالَتْ کَيْفَ أُرْضِعُهُ وَهُوَ رَجُلٌ کَبِيرٌ فَتَبَسَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَالَ قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّهُ رَجُلٌ کَبِيرٌ فَفَعَلَتْ فَأَتَتْ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَتْ مَا رَأَيْتُ فِي وَجْهِ أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ شَيْئًا أَکْرَهُهُ بَعْدُ وَکَانَ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 1943
It was narrated that Aishah said: "Sahlah bint Suhail came to the Prophet P.B.U.H; and said: '0 Messenger of Allah, ) see signs of displeasure on the face of Abu Hudhaifah when Salim enters upon me." The Prophet P.B.U.H said: "Breastfeed him." She said: "How can) breastfeed him when he is a grown man?" The Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H smiled and said: "I know that he is a grown man." So she did that, then she came to the Prophet P.B.U.H and said: "I have never seen any signs of displeasure on the face of Abu Hudhayfah after that." And he was present at (the battle of) Badr. (Sahih)
