It is narrated from Sayyidah Sahlah (may Allah be pleased with her) (wife of Abu Hudhayfah) that she mentioned to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that Salim, the freed slave of Abu Hudhayfah, used to come in to her. So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered her to suckle him, and she suckled Salim while he was a grown man, after he had taken part in the Battle of Badr.

It is narrated from the Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered Sayyidah Sahlah (may Allah be pleased with her) (wife of Abu Hudhayfah) to suckle Salim, the freed slave of Abu Hudhayfah (and make him her foster son), so that Abu Hudhayfah's jealousy (and unease) would go away. So she suckled him while he was a grown man. Rabi'ah says: This was a special concession for Salim. Mention of Umm Habibah, whose name is Hamnah bint Jahsh (may Allah be pleased with her).
