Sunan Ibn Majah 1512
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عِمْرَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ أَبِي الْوَلِيدِ، عَنْ أُمِّهِ، عَنْ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ الْحُسَيْنِ، عَنْ أَبِيهَا الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ الْقَاسِمُ ابْنُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَتْ خَدِيجَةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ دَرَّتْ لُبَيْنَةُ الْقَاسِمِ فَلَوْ كَانَ اللَّهُ أَبْقَاهُ حَتَّى يَسْتَكْمِلَ رَضَاعَهُ . فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " إِنَّ تَمَامَ رَضَاعِهِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ " . قَالَتْ لَوْ أَعْلَمُ ذَلِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَهَوَّنَ عَلَىَّ أَمْرَهُ . فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " إِنْ شِئْتِ دَعَوْتُ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى فَأَسْمَعَكِ صَوْتَهُ " . قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ بَلْ أُصَدِّقُ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ .

Abdullah ibn Imran narrated to us; Abu Dawud narrated to us; Hisham ibn Abi al-Walid narrated to us, from his mother, from Fatimah bint al-Husayn, from her father al-Husayn ibn Ali, who said: ‘When al-Qasim, the son of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), died, Khadijah said, “Messenger of Allah, al-Qasim’s mother’s milk has come in. If only Allah had let him live until he was weaned.” The Messenger of Allah said, “His nursing will be completed in Paradise.” She said, “If I had known that, Messenger of Allah, it would have made this easier for me to bear.” The Messenger of Allah said, “If you wish, I will ask Allah Most High to let you hear his voice.” She replied, “Messenger of Allah, rather, I affirm the truth of Allah and His Messenger.”’
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The report uses breastfeeding imagery throughout: the milk coming in, completion of nursing in Paradise, and the mother wishing he had lived until weaning.
