26. Nikāh (Marriage)
٢٦۔ كتاب النكاح
"One of the things that Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, revealed" -(one of the narrators) Al-Harith said (in his narration): "One of the things that were revealed in the Qur'an"- "was that ten known breast-feedings make marriage prohibited, then that was abrogated and changed to five known breast-feedings. Then the Messenger of Allah passed away when this was something that was still being recited in the Qur'an."
كَانَ فِيمَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ ﷻ وَقَالَ الْحَارِثُ فِيمَا أُنْزِلَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ عَشْرُ رَضَعَاتٍ مَعْلُومَاتٍ يُحَرِّمْنَ ثُمَّ نُسِخْنَ بِخَمْسٍ مَعْلُومَاتٍ فَتُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهِيَ مِمَّا يُقْرَأُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ
"Suckling (Al-Imlajah) once or twice does not make (marriage) prohibited." And (one of the narrators) Qatadah said (in his narration): "Suckling (Al-Massah) once or twice does not make (marriage) prohibited."
أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ﷺ سُئِلَ عَنِ الرَّضَاعِ فَقَالَ لاَ تُحَرِّمُ الإِمْلاَجَةُ وَلاَ الإِمْلاَجَتَانِ وَقَالَ قَتَادَةُ الْمَصَّةُ وَالْمَصَّتَانِ
"Suckling once or twice does not make (marriage) prohibited."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ تُحَرِّمُ الْمَصَّةُ وَالْمَصَّتَانِ
"The Messenger of Allah said: 'Suckling once or twice does not make (marriage) prohibited.'"
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ تُحَرِّمُ الْمَصَّةُ وَالْمَصَّتَانِ
"We wrote to Ibrahim bin Yazid An-Nakha'i asking him about breast-feeding. He wrote back saying that Shuraih had narrated that 'Ali and Ibn Mas'ud used to say: 'A little or a lot of breast-feeding makes marriage prohibited.'" In his book, it said that Abu Ash-Sha'tha' Al-Muharibi narrated that 'Aishah had told him that the Prophet of Allah used to say: "Suckling (Al-Khatfah) once or twice does not make (marriage) prohibited."
حَدَّثَنَا أَنَّ عَلِيًّا وَابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ كَانَا يَقُولاَنِ يُحَرِّمُ مِنَ الرَّضَاعِ قَلِيلُهُ وَكَثِيرُهُ وَكَانَ فِي كِتَابِهِ أَنَّ أَبَا الشَّعْثَاءِ الْمُحَارِبِيَّ حَدَّثَنَا أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ حَدَّثَتْهُ أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَقُولُ لاَ تُحَرِّمُ الْخَطْفَةُ وَالْخَطْفَتَانِ
"Aishah said: 'The Messenger of Allah entered upon me and there was a man sitting with me. He got upset about that, and I saw the anger in his face.' I said: "O Messenger of Allah, he is my brother through breast-feeding." He said: "Be careful who you count as your brothers" --or: "be careful who you count as your brothers through breast-feeding"-- "for the breast-feeding (which makes marriage prohibited) is from hunger."
عَائِشَةُ دَخَلَ عَلَىَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَعِنْدِي رَجُلٌ قَاعِدٌ فَاشْتَدَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ وَرَأَيْتُ الْغَضَبَ فِي وَجْهِهِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهُ أَخِي مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ فَقَالَ انْظُرْنَ مَا إِخْوَانُكُنَّ وَمَرَّةً أُخْرَى انْظُرْنَ مَنْ إِخْوَانُكُنَّ مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ فَإِنَّ الرَّضَاعَةَ مِنَ الْمَجَاعَةِ
