Sunan Abi Dawud 2056 (Book 12, Hadith 11) #22347
Refusal of Marriage by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) refused to marry Umm Salamah's sister, as she was his foster niece and thus not lawful for him.

Umm Salamah reported Umm Habibah said "Are you interested in my sister, Apostle of Allaahﷺ?" He said "What should I do?" She said "You marry her" He said "Your sister?" She said "Yes". He said "Do you like that?" she said "I am not alone with you of those who share me in this good, my sister is most to my liking. He said "She is not lawful for me". She said "By Allaah, I was told that you were going to betroth with you Darrah to Durrah , the narrator Zuhair doubted the daughter of Abu Salamah. He said "The daughter of Umm Salamah? She said "Yes". He said "(She is my step daughter). Even if she had not been my step daughter under my protection, she would not have been lawful for me. She is my foster niece (daughter of my brother by fosterage). Thuwaybah suckled me as well as his father (Abu Salamah). So do not present to me your daughters and your sisters.
