Biography of the UMM YAHYA bint Abi Ihab

married 'Uqbah bin al-Harith.

'Uqbah said, "I married a woman, then a black woman came to us and said,

'I breastfed you both.'

I went to the Prophet ﷺ and said,

'I married so-and-so, and a black woman came to me and said,

"I breastfed you both."

He turned away from me, so I came to him from the other side and said, 'She is lying.'

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:

وكَيْفَ بهَا وَقَدْ زَعَمَتْ أَنَّهَا قَدْ أَرْضَعَتْكُمَا دَعْهَا عَنْكَ.

""How could you keep her as your wife when she (this woman) believes she breastfed you both?

Leave her (divorce her).'
