Translation

Abu Ali Al Asharyy, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, and Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al Fazl Bin Shazaan, altogether from Safwan Bin Yahya who said, ‘I asked Abu Al-Hassan^asws about the breast-feeding, what he is Prohibited, from it’. So he^asws said: ‘A man asked my^asws father^asws about it, so he^asws said: ‘One (session), there is no problem with it, and two’, until it reached five breast-feeding sessions’. I said, ‘Sequentially, or a sip after a sip?’ So he^asws said: ‘Such is what he^asws said to him, and another one asked about it, so he up to nine’. And he^asws said: ‘And how frequently I^asws am asked about the breast-feeding!’. So I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you^asws! Inform me about your^asws words, are you^asws in this with a limit which is more than this?’ So he^asws said: ‘I^asws have already informed you with that which my^asws father^asws had answered with regards to it’. I said, ‘I know of that which your^asws father^asws answered with regarding it, but I said it, perhaps there is a limit in it which he^asws did not inform with, so you^asws would inform me with it’. So he^asws said: ‘Such is what my^asws father^asws said’. I said, ‘So my mother has breast-fed a slave girl with my milk’. So he^asws said: ‘She is your sister from the breast-feeding’. I said, ‘So is she Permissible for a brother of mine from my mother whom my mother did not breast-feed him with his milk?’ He^asws said: ‘So the stallion (father) is one?’ I said, ‘Yes, he is my brother of my father and my mother’. He^asws said: ‘The milk of the stallion (father) made your father to be her father, and your mother as her mother’.
