Hadith of Judamah bint Wahb (RA)

حديث جدامة بنت وهب

Hadith 1284:1

Abdullah ibn Yazid narrated to us, Sa’id—meaning Ibn Abi Ayyub—narrated to us, he said: Abu al-Aswad narrated to me, from Urwah, from Aisha, from Judamah bint Wahb, the sister of Ukashah, she said: I was present with the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, among some people, and he was saying: "I had intended to forbid *al-ghilah* (having sexual intercourse with a nursing mother), but then I looked at the Romans and the Persians, and I saw that they practice *ghilah* with their children, and it does not harm their children at all." Then they asked him about *al-azl* (coitus interruptus), and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said to them: "That is the hidden infanticide," and it is [the interpretation of the verse]: "And when the girl [who was] buried alive is asked."
