Sunan an-Nasa'i 3311
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ زُرَيْعٍ - قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، قَالَ كَتَبْنَا إِلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ النَّخَعِيِّ نَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ الرَّضَاعِ، فَكَتَبَ أَنَّ شُرَيْحًا، 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 صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ يَقُولُ " لاَ تُحَرِّمُ الْخَطْفَةُ وَالْخَطْفَتَانِ " .
Muhammad ibn Abd Allah ibn Bazi' reported to us; he said: Yazid—meaning Ibn Zuray'—narrated to us; he said: Sa'id narrated to us, from Qatadah, who said: We wrote to Ibrahim ibn Yazid al-Nakha'i to ask him about nursing, and he wrote back that Shurayh had related to us that Ali and Ibn Mas'ud used to say: ‘A small or large amount of nursing establishes prohibition.’ His letter also stated that Abu al-Sha'tha' al-Muharibi related to us that A'ishah told him the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to say: ‘One quick suck or two do not establish prohibition.’
Translation notes
The text reports two differently attributed statements: a view from Ali and Ibn Mas'ud as transmitted by Shurayh, and a prophetic report from A'ishah via Abu al-Sha'tha'. The distinction is preserved without harmonizing them.
