Umm Sunbulah brought a gift of milk to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, but did not find him. Ayesha said to her, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ has forbidden us from eating the food of the bedouins."Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered with Abu Bakr, and he asked, "What is this you have with you, Umm Sunbulah?"She replied, "Milk I have brought as a gift for you, Messenger of Allah."He said, "Pour it out, Umm Sunbulah." So she poured it.He said, "Hand it to Abu Bakr." She did so.Then he said, "Pour, Umm Sunbulah, and hand it to Ayesha." She handed it to her, and Ayesha drank.Then he said, "Pour, Umm Sunbulah." She poured and handed it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he drank.While the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was drinking from the milk of the Aslam tribe, Ayesha said, "How cool it is upon the liver! Messenger of Allah, I had been told that you forbade the food of the bedouins?"He replied, "Ayesha, they are not bedouins. They are the people of our countryside, and we are the people of their town. When they are called, they answer. So they are not bedouins."
أهدت أم سنبلة لرسول الله ﷺ لبنا، فلم تجده، فقالت لها: إن رسول الله ﷺ قد نهى أن نأكل طعام الأعراب، فدخل رسول الله ﷺ وأبو بكر، فقال: ما هذا معك يا أم سنبلة؟ قالت: لبن أهديت لك يا رسول الله، قال: اسكبي أم سنبلة فسكبت، فقال: ناولي أبا بكر ففعلت، فقال: اسكبي أم سنبلة، فناولي عائشة فناولتها، فشربت، ثم قال: اسكبي أم سنبلة فسكبت، فناولت رسول الله ﷺ، فشرب. قالت عائشة- ورسول الله ﷺ يشرب من لبن أسلم-: وابردها على الكبد، يا رسول الله، قد كنت حدثت أنك قد نهيت عن طعام الأعراب؟ فقال: يا عائشة، إنهم ليسوا بالأعراب، هم أهل باديتنا، ونحن أهل حاضرتهم، وإذا دعوا أجابوا، فليسوا بالأعراب.
Ahmad narrated it (25010), and Bazzar in Kashf Astar (1941, 1940), and Hakim graded it sahih (4/128), all of them through the route of Abdul-Rahman bin Harmala Aslami, from Abdullah bin Dinar Aslami, from Urwa, from Ayesha, who said, and then she mentioned it.It has another chain of transmission. Abu Yaala narrated it (4773) through the route of Muhammad bin Ishaq, from Salih bin Kaysan, from Urwa, from Ayesha, with something similar to it.With these two chains of transmission, the hadith rises to the level of hasan, because there is some slight criticism regarding Abdul-Rahman bin Harmala, which is strengthened by the hadith of Ibn Ishaq.Haythami said in Majma (4/149), "Ahmad, Abu Yaala, and Bazzar narrated it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih."
