Muwatta Malik #1345
Suckling
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ نَوْفَلٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، عَنْ جُدَامَةَ بِنْتِ وَهْبٍ الأَسَدِيَّةِ، أَنَّهَا أَخْبَرَتْهَا أَنَّهَا، سَمِعَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ
" لَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ أَنْهَى عَنِ الْغِيلَةِ حَتَّى ذَكَرْتُ أَنَّ الرُّومَ وَفَارِسَ يَصْنَعُونَ ذَلِكَ فَلاَ يَضُرُّ أَوْلاَدَهُمْ " .
Yahya related to me from Malik that Muhammad ibn Abd ar-Rahman
ibn Nawfal said, ''Urwa ibn az-Zubayr informed me from A'isha umm al-
muminin that Judama bint Wahb al-Asadiyya informed her that she heard
the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say,
'I intended to prohibit ghila but I remembered that the Greeks and
Persians do that without it causing any injury to their children.' "
Malik explained, "Ghila is that a man has intercourse with
his wife while she is suckling."
