Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Musa ibn Bakr from Zurarah ibn ‘A‘yan who has said the following: “Zurarah has narrated a Hadith similar to the previous Hadith from Abu Ja’far عليه السلام, and he (the Imam) has said, ’They do not consider it lawful to marry their mothers if they are believers. The wives of the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم in the matter of the above unlawfulness are like their mothers.’”
