3. It is narrated from the narrator of the previous Hadith from ibn Faddal from Ali ibn ‘Uqbah from ‘Ubayd ibn Zurarah who has said the following
“This is concerning my question before abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about breastfeeding and its minimum limit that makes marriage unlawful. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is an amount that grows flesh and blood.’ 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 so.’ I continued counting until ten times breastfeeding.’”
3- وَعَنْهُ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) عَنِ الرَّضَاعِ أَدْنَى مَا يُحَرِّمُ مِنْهُ قَالَ مَا أَنْبَتَ اللَّحْمَ وَالدَّمَ ثُمَّ قَالَ تَرَى وَاحِدَةً تُنْبِتُهُ فَقُلْتُ أَسْأَلُكَ أَصْلَحَكَ اللهُ اثْنَتَانِ فَقَالَ لا وَلَمْ أَزَلْ أَعُدُّ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى بَلَغَ عَشْرَ رَضَعَاتٍ.
