I said, "Messenger of Allah, why do you choose carefully from among the women of Quraysh and overlook us?"He replied, "Do you have someone in mind?"I said, "Yes, the daughter of Hamza."The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "She is not lawful for me. She is the daughter of my brother through breastfeeding."
قلت: يا رسول الله، مالك تنوق في قريش وتدعنا؟ فقال: وعندكم شيء؟ قلت: نعم، بنت حمزة. فقال رسول الله ﷺ: إنها لا تحل لي، إنها ابنة أخي من الرضاعة.
Muslim narrated it in the Book of Suckling (1446) through the route of Abu Muawiya, from Amash, from Saad bin Ubayda, from Abu Abdul-Rahman, from Ali, and he related it.His statement, "tanawwaq," means to choose and go to great lengths in selecting from Quraysh, while leaving us, meaning Banu Hashim. Some have vocalized it with two letters ta, the second one with a damma, "tatuq," from tawq, which means longing and inclination.Similar in meaning is what has been reported from Ali bin Abu Talib, who said, I said to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, "Shall I not point you to the most beautiful young woman in Quraysh?" He said, "Who is she?" I said, "The daughter of Hamza." He said, "Did you not know that she is my brother's daughter through suckling? Allah has forbidden through suckling what he has forbidden through blood lineage." However, this narration is daif.Ahmad narrated it (1096), as did Bazzar in Kashf Astar (525) and Abu Yaala (381), while Tirmidhi (1146) narrated it in abbreviated form. All of them narrated it from the hadith of Ali bin Zayd, from Saeed bin Musayab, from Ali bin Abu Talib, and he related it.Its chain of transmission is daif because of Ali bin Zayd, who is Ibn Jadan, daif by the agreement of the scholars. Despite this, Tirmidhi said, "The hadith of Ali is sahih," and in one manuscript, "hasan sahih." Perhaps he graded it sahih because of its other chains that strengthen it.
