Sahih Muslim 1442a (Book 16, Hadith 166) #10701
Cohabitation with a Suckling Woman

SUMMARY: This hadith explains that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) initially intended to prohibit cohabitation with a suckling woman, but then he realized that the Romans and Persians do it without any harm to their children.

Judaima daughter of Wahb al-Asadiyya (Allah be pleased with her) reported that she heard Allah's Messenger assaying: I intended to prohibit cohabitation with a suckling woman until I considered that the Romans and the Persians do it without any injury being caused to their children thereby. (Imam Muslim said: Khalaf reported it from Judamat al-'Asadiyya, but the correct wording is what has been stated by Yahya)
وَحَدَّثَنَا خَلَفُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، - وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ - قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ نَوْفَلٍ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ عَنْ جُدَامَةَ بِنْتِ وَهْبٍ الأَسَدِيَّةِ أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ لَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ أَنْهَى عَنِ الْغِيلَةِ حَتَّى ذَكَرْتُ أَنَّ الرُّومَ وَفَارِسَ يَصْنَعُونَ ذَلِكَ فَلاَ يَضُرُّ أَوْلاَدَهُمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ مُسْلِمٌ وَأَمَّا خَلَفٌ فَقَالَ عَنْ جُذَامَةَ الأَسَدِيَّةِ ‏.‏ وَالصَّحِيحُ مَا قَالَهُ يَحْيَى بِالدَّالِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's initial intention to prohibit cohabitation with a suckling woman. A suckling woman is one who is breastfeeding her child. The Prophet Muhammad was concerned that this could cause harm to the child, so he wanted to forbid it. However, after considering how other cultures such as the Romans and Persians did not experience any negative effects from this practice, he decided against prohibiting it. This hadith teaches us that we should always consider different perspectives before making decisions or forming opinions on certain matters. We should also be open minded and willing to learn from others in order to make informed decisions.
