Home Hadith Hadith 4902
I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Do you like to have (my sister) the daughter of Abu Sufyan?" The Prophet (ﷺ)
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."

I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! 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 (ﷺ) said, "But that is not lawful for me (i.e., to be married to two
sisters at a time.)" I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! 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."
