Narrated ‘Uqba bin Al-Harith:
I married a woman and then a black lady came to us and said, “I have suckled you both (you and
your wife).” So I came to the Prophet and said, “I married so-and-so and then a black lady came to us
and said to me, ‘I have suckled both of you.’ But I think she is a liar.” The Prophet turned his face
away from me and I moved to face his face, and said, “She is a liar.” The Prophet said, “How (can you

Allah’s Apostle said (to me), “You were shown to me in a dream. An angel brought you to me,
wrapped in a piece of silken cloth, and said to me, ‘This is your wife.’ I removed the piece of cloth
from your face, and there you were. I said to myself. ‘If it is from Allah, then it will surely be.’ “
Volume 7, Book 62, Number 42:
Narrated Um Habiba:
I said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Do you like to have (my sister) the daughter of Abu Sufyan?” The Prophet
said, “What shall I do (with her)?” I said, “Marry her.” He said, “Do you like that?” I said, “(Yes), for
even now I am not your only wife, so I like that my sister should share you with me.” He said, “She is
not lawful for me (to marry).” I said, “We have heard that you want to marry.” He said, “The daughter
of Um Salama?” I said, “Yes.” He said, “Even if she were not my stepdaughter, she should be unlawful
for me to marry, for Thuwaiba suckled me and her father (Abu Salama). So you should neither
present your daughters, nor your sisters, to me.”
Volume 7, Book 62, Number 58:
Narrated Sahl bin Sad:
A woman came to Allah’s Apostle and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! I have come to you to present myself
to you (for marriage).” Allah’s Apostle glanced at her. He looked at her carefully and fixed his glance
on her and then lowered his head. When the lady saw that he did not say anything, she sat down. A
man from his companions got up and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! If you are not in need of her, then
marry her to me.” The Prophet said, “Have you got anything to offer.” The man said, ‘No, by Allah, O
Allah’s Apostle!” The Prophet said (to him), “Go to your family and try to find something.” So the man
went and returned, saying, “No, by Allah, O Allah’s Apostle! I have not found anything.” The Prophet
said, “Go again and look for something, even if it were an iron ring.” He went and returned, saying,
“No, by Allah, O Allah’s Apostle! I could not find even an iron ring, but this is my Izar (waist sheet).’
He had no Rida (upper garment). He added, “I give half of it to her.” Allah’s Apostle said “What will
she do with your Izar? If you wear it, she will have nothing over herself thereof (will be naked); and
if she wears it, then you will have nothing over yourself thereof ‘ So the man sat for a long period
and then got up (to leave). When Allah’s Apostle saw him leaving, he ordered that he e called back.
When he came, the Prophet asked (him), “How much of the Qur’an do you know (by heart)?” The
man replied, I know such Sura and such Sura and such Sura,” naming the suras. The Prophet said,
“Can you recite it by heart?” He said, ‘Yes.” The Prophet said, “Go I let you marry her for what you
know of the Quran (as her Mahr).

I said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Marry my sister, the daughter of Abu Sufyan.” He said, “Do you like that?”
I said, “Yes, for even now I am not your only wife; and the most beloved person to share the good
with me is my sister.” The Prophet said, “But that is not lawful for me (i.e., to be married to two sisters
at a time.)” I said, “O Allah’s Apostle! By Allah, we have heard that you want to marry Durra, the
daughter of Abu Salama.” He said, “You mean the daughter of Um Salama?” I said, “Yes.” He said, “By
Allah ! Even if she were not my stepdaughter, she would not be lawful for me to marry, for she is my
foster niece, for Thuwaiba has suckled me and Abu Salama; so you should neither present your
daughters, nor your sisters to me.”
