Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 18261 — Those who permitted milk attributed

Sayyidah Zaynab bint Abi Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: Sayyidah Asma' (may Allah be pleased with her) nursed me. So (her husband) Sayyiduna al-Zubayr bin al-Awwam (may Allah be pleased with him) would come in to me while I was combing my hair and would take hold of my braid; he would talk with me, regarding me as his daughter, and he regarded his sons as my brothers. On the day of al-Harrah, his son Sayyiduna Abdullah bin al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) asked for my daughter's hand for Hamzah bin al-Zubayr (may Allah have mercy on him). Hamzah and Mus'ab (two sons of Sayyiduna al-Zubayr, who were not the sons of Sayyidah Asma' but) were from a woman of Banu Kalb. I sent word to Abdullah bin al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him): Can my daughter be married to him? He said: Are you refusing the proposal sent from me, when I am your brother? The children born to Sayyidah Asma' (may Allah be pleased with her) are your brothers, and those born to Sayyiduna al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) from any other wife are not your brothers. You may ask someone else about this matter. At that time many of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) and the Mothers of the Believers (may Allah be pleased with them) were alive. I asked them, and they all said: Nursing that comes from the side of the men does not make anything unlawful.
