Musnad Ahmad

It is narrated from Hazrat Uqbah bin Harith (may Allah be pleased with him) that I married a woman. After that, a black woman came to us and said, "I have suckled both of you (therefore, you are foster brother and sister and this marriage is not valid)." I went to the service of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "I have married the daughter of so-and-so. After the marriage, a black woman came to us and said, 'I have suckled both of you,' even though she is lying." The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) turned his face away from this. I came from the front and said the same thing again, that she is lying. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "How can you stay with this woman when that black woman claims she has suckled both of you? Leave her."

It is narrated from Hazrat Uqbah bin Harith (may Allah be pleased with him) that I married the daughter of Abi Ihab.

I went to the service of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and submitted, "I have married the daughter of such and such a person. After the marriage, a black woman came to us and said, 'I have suckled both of you,' although she is lying." The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) turned his face away from this. I came from the right side, and the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) again turned his face away. I submitted, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! That woman is black?" The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "How can you stay with that woman now when this has been said?"

It is narrated from Hazrat Uqbah bin Harith (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I performed the Asr prayer with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). After concluding the prayer with salam, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) quickly stood up and went into the room of one of his noble wives. After a short while, he came out and saw that signs of astonishment were visible on the faces of the people. He said: "During the prayer, I remembered that a piece of silver was left with us. I did not like that it should remain with us until evening or night, so I have ordered it to be distributed." The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain.
