2- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّضَاعِ مَا أَدْنَى مَا يُحَرِّمُ مِنْهُ قَالَ مَا أَنْبَتَ اللَّحْمَ أَوِ الدَّمَ ثُمَّ قَالَ تَرَى وَاحِدَةً تُنْبِتُهُ فَقُلْتُ أَسْأَلُكَ أَصْلَحَكَ اللهُ [اثْنَتَانِ] قَالَ لا فَلَمْ أَزَلْ أَعُدُّ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى بَلَغْتُ عَشْرَ رَضَعَاتٍ.
2. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Faddal from Ali ibn Ya’qub from Muhammad ibn Muslim from ‘Ubayd ibn Zurarah who has said the following: “This is concerning my question before abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, about the case of breastfeeding and its minimum limit that brings unlawfulness. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is an amount of breastfeeding that makes the flesh or blood grow.’ He (the Imam) then asked, ‘Do you think once can do it?’ I replied, ‘I pray to Allah to keep you well, I ask you, can twice do it?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘No, it cannot do it.’ I kept counting up to ten times breastfeeding.”
