Umm Sunbula al-Aslamiyya

Umm Sunbula al-Aslamiyya. Ibn Manda said A'isha related from her; Ibn al-Sakan said her hadith is with the people of Medina ¹.

Ibn Manda narrates from Abu Awana's account from A'isha, who said: "Umm Sunbula al-Aslamiyya gifted milk to the Messenger of God; she entered and did not find him, so I said to her: the Messenger of God has forbidden us to eat what the Bedouin gift. The Messenger of God entered, and Abu Bakr, and he said: Umm Sunbula, what is this with you? She said: milk I gifted to you. He said: pour" — she handed it to him and he drank. A'isha said: "Messenger of God, you had told us you forbade Bedouins' food" — he said: "A'isha, they are not Bedouin — they are the people of our desert and we are the people of their town; when we call them they answer — they are not Bedouin" ¹.

Ibn Manda also narrates it from Sulayman ibn Bilal's account, in which he said: "pour and give Abu Bakr — then he said: pour and give A'isha — then he said: pour and give it to me", and he drank; Muhammad ibn Ishaq related it from Salih ibn Kaysan from Urwa from A'isha with its meaning ². In al-Nasa'i and al-Tabarani's account she brought the Messenger of God a gift and his wives refused to take it; the Messenger of God came and said: "take it, for Umm Sunbula is of our desert's people and we are of her town's people" — al-Tabarani adds that he gave her such-and-such valley ².
