سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الرَّضَاعِ أَدْنَى مَا يُحَرِّمُ مِنْهُ قَالَ مَا أَنْبَتَ اللَّحْمَ وَ الدَّمَ ثُمَّ قَالَ تَرَى وَاحِدَةً تُنْبِتُهُ فَقُلْتُ أَسْأَلُكَ أَصْلَحَكَ اللَّهُ اثْنَتَانِ فَقَالَ لَا وَ لَمْ أَزَلْ أَعُدُّ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى بَلَغَ عَشْرَ رَضَعَاتٍ .
Translation
And from him, from Ibn Gazzal, from Ali Bin Uqba, from Ubeyd Bin Zurara who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about the breast-feeding, the least of what it Prohibits from’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘What builds the flesh, and the blood’. Then he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Do you see one (session of breast-feeding) building it?’ So I said, ‘I ask you<sup>asws</sup>, may Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Keep you<sup>asws</sup> well, (what about) two?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘No’. And I did not cease to reiterate to him<sup>asws</sup> until it reached ten breast-feeding sessions’.
