قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) إِنَّا أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ كَبِيرٍ فَرُبَّمَا كَانَ الْفَرَحُ وَ الْحَزَنُ الَّذِي يَجْتَمِعُ فِيهِ الرِّجَالُ وَ النِّسَاءُ فَرُبَّمَا اسْتَحْيَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ أَنْ تَكْشِفَ رَأْسَهَا عِنْدَ الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي بَيْنَهَا وَ بَيْنَهُ الرَّضَاعُ وَ رُبَّمَا اسْتَخَفَّ الرَّجُلُ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى ذَلِكَ فَمَا الَّذِي يُحَرِّمُ مِنَ الرَّضَاعِ فَقَالَ مَا أَنْبَتَ اللَّحْمَ وَ الدَّمَ فَقُلْتُ وَ مَا الَّذِي يُنْبِتُ اللَّحْمَ وَ الدَّمَ فَقَالَ كَانَ يُقَالُ عَشْرُ رَضَعَاتٍ قُلْتُ فَهَلْ يُحَرِّمُ عَشْرُ رَضَعَاتٍ فَقَالَ دَعْ ذَا وَ قَالَ مَا يَحْرُمُ مِنَ النَّسَبِ فَهُوَ مَا يَحْرُمُ مِنَ الرَّضَاعِ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Muawiya Bin Wahab, from Ubeyd Bin Zurara who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘I am of a large family, so sometimes when it is the occasion of happiness and the sadness during which the men and the women gather, so sometimes the woman is embarrassed to uncover her head in the presence of the man which between her and him is the breast-feeding (relationship), and sometimes the man are fearful to look at that. So what is that which Prohibits from the breast-feeding?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘What builds the flesh and the blood’. So I said, ‘So what is that which builds the flesh and the blood?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘It is said, ten breast-feeding sessions’. I said, ‘So would ten breast-feeding sessions impose a Prohibition?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Leave that’. And he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Whatever is a Prohibition due to the lineage, so it is what is prohibited from the breast-feeding’.
