Judama bint Wahb al-Asadiyyah reported that she heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "I had resolved to forbid intercourse with a nursing woman, until I remembered that the Romans and the Persians do it without it harming their children."
عن جدامة بنت وهب الأسدية، أنها أخبرتها أنها سمعت رسول الله ﷺ يقول: لقد هممت أن أنهى عن الغيلة، حتى ذكرت أن الروم وفارس يصنعون ذلك، فلا يضر أولادهم.
Malik narrated it in "Suckling" (16) from Muhammad bin Abdul-Rahman bin Nawfal, who said, "Urwa bin Zubayr told me, from Ayesha, Mother of the Believers," in the same way. Then Malik said, "Ghayla means that a man has intercourse with his wife while she is nursing." Muslim also narrated it in "Marriage" (1442:140) through the route of Malik, in the same manner.Malik's statement "that he touches" means "has intercourse," as in the revelation, "And if you divorce them before you have touched them" [Baqarah 2:237]. Ibn Abbas said, "Touching means intercourse."Jadama, with a "dal," as Malik narrated it, though others said Jadhama, with a "dhal," the first being more correct, was Jadama bint Wahb bin Mihsan al-Asadiyyah. She embraced Islam on the day of the Conquest and migrated with her people to Madinah. She was the wife of Anis bin Qatada bin Rabia, from Banu Amr bin Awf. Ayesha narrated the hadith of ghayla from her.
