Sahih Muslim Book - 17, Hadith - 3586

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامٌ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبِى عَنْ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أُمِّ حَبِيبَةَ بِنْتِ أَبِى سُفْيَانَ قَالَتْ دَخَلَ عَلَىَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَقُلْتُ لَهُ هَلْ لَكَ فِى أُخْتِى بِنْتِ أَبِى سُفْيَانَ فَقَالَ « أَفْعَلُ مَاذَا ». قُلْتُ تَنْكِحُهَا. قَالَ « أَوَتُحِبِّينَ ذَلِكَ ». قُلْتُ لَسْتُ لَكَ بِمُخْلِيَةٍ وَأَحَبُّ مَنْ شَرِكَنِى فِى الْخَيْرِ أُخْتِى. قَالَ « فَإِنَّهَا لاَ تَحِلُّ لِى ». قُلْتُ فَإِنِّى أُخْبِرْتُ أَنَّكَ تَخْطُبُ دُرَّةَ بِنْتَ أَبِى سَلَمَةَ. قَالَ « بِنْتَ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ ». قُلْتُ نَعَمْ. قَالَ « لَوْ أَنَّهَا لَمْ تَكُنْ رَبِيبَتِى فِى حَجْرِى مَا حَلَّتْ لِى إِنَّهَا ابْنَةُ أَخِى مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ أَرْضَعَتْنِى وَأَبَاهَا ثُوَيْبَةُ فَلاَ تَعْرِضْنَ عَلَىَّ بَنَاتِكُنَّ وَلاَ أَخَوَاتِكُنَّ ».

It was narrated that Umm Habibah bint Abi Sufyan said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) entered upon me and I said to him: 'What about my sister, the daughter of Abu Sufyan?' He said: 'What should I do?' I said: 'Marry her.' He said: 'Would you like that?' I said: 'I am not your only wife, and I would like my sister to share with me in this goodness.' He said: 'She is not permissible for me (to marry).' I said: 'I have been told that you proposed marriage to Durrah bint Abi Salamah.' He said: 'The daughter of Umm Salamah?' I said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Even if she was not my stepdaughter under my care, she would not be permissible for me (to marry); her father and I were both breastfed by Thuwaibah. Do not offer your daughters or sisters to me in marriage."'
