The Claim of Suckling

SUMMARY: This hadith is about a man who married a woman, but then another woman came and claimed that she had suckled both of them. The Prophet (pbuh) told the man to leave his wife because of this claim.

Abdullah bin Abi Mulaikah narrated: "Ubaid bin Abi Maryam narrated to me from Uqbah bin Al-Harith" and, he (Abdullah bin Abi Mulaikah) said: "And I heard it from Uqbah bin Al-Harith, but to me, the narration of Ubaid is better preserved; he said: (Uqbah bin Al-Harith narrated: ) "I married a woman, then a black woman came to us and she said: 'I suckled both of you.’ So I went to the Prophet and said: 'I married so-and-so the daughter of so-and-so, then a black women came to us, and said: "I suckled both of you" but she is a liar.’" He said: "Then he (pbuh) turned away from me". He said: "So I went around to face him (and he (pbuh) turned his face away from me) so I said: 'She is a liar.’ He said: 'How can you stay with her while she claims that she suckled both of you? Leave her.’"
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ بْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، قَالَ وَسَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ، عُقْبَةَ وَلَكِنِّي لِحَدِيثِ عُبَيْدٍ أَحْفَظُ قَالَ تَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً فَجَاءَتْنَا امْرَأَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي قَدْ أَرْضَعْتُكُمَا ‏.‏ فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ فَقُلْتُ تَزَوَّجْتُ فُلاَنَةَ بِنْتَ فُلاَنٍ فَجَاءَتْنَا امْرَأَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي قَدْ أَرْضَعْتُكُمَا وَهِيَ كَاذِبَةٌ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنِّي ‏.‏ قَالَ فَأَتَيْتُهُ مِنْ قِبَلِ وَجْهِهِ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنِّي بِوَجْهِهِ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّهَا كَاذِبَةٌ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ وَكَيْفَ بِهَا وَقَدْ زَعَمَتْ أَنَّهَا قَدْ أَرْضَعَتْكُمَا دَعْهَا عَنْكَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏ وَقَدْ رَوَى غَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرُوا فِيهِ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرُوا فِيهِ ‏"‏ دَعْهَا عَنْكَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ عِنْدَ بَعْضِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ وَغَيْرِهِمْ أَجَازُوا شَهَادَةَ الْمَرْأَةِ الْوَاحِدَةِ فِي الرَّضَاعِ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ تَجُوزُ شَهَادَةُ امْرَأَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ فِي الرَّضَاعِ وَيُؤْخَذُ يَمِينُهَا ‏.‏ وَبِهِ يَقُولُ أَحْمَدُ وَإِسْحَاقُ ‏.‏ وَقَدْ قَالَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ لاَ تَجُوزُ شَهَادَةُ الْمَرْأَةِ الْوَاحِدَةِ حَتَّى يَكُونَ أَكْثَرَ ‏.‏ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ الشَّافِعِيِّ ‏.‏ سَمِعْتُ الْجَارُودَ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ وَكِيعًا يَقُولُ لاَ تَجُوزُ شَهَادَةُ امْرَأَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ فِي الْحُكْمِ وَيُفَارِقُهَا فِي الْوَرَعِ
